URGENT TRUST AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PLEAZE
ATTN: Sir ,
Director / Ceo
I am Mrs. CHRISTIANA MONGO, wife of late MICHEAL MONGO who was murdered by
the Zimbabwean veterans and irrate black people.Before the death of my
husband , he was a Properous Tobacco and Coffee farmer in Zimbabwe and
one of the major sponsor/ Financier of the opposition party - Movement For
Democratic Change(MDC)in Zimbabwe. He was also the former president of
Farmers Co-operative Trade Union in Zimbabwe.
I am writing you from Johanessburg, South Africa. I got your contact email
address through the South African International Information Exchange Center
and decided to write you. I write to solicit for your special assistance to
a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by the dictator President
ROBERT MUGABE and his(ZANU-PF) ruling party.
I am probably of the convinction that you are aware of the present
situation in my country Zimbabwe sequel to the land and farm land and
Political crisis in ZIMBABBWE ,the government secretly sponsored the war
veterans and some irrate party members to disposes the land being occupied
by whites and some rich farmers who are opposed to his consistent stay in
power and his radical and unnecessary reforms targeted at his political
opponents.
This action has led to the killing of some members of the opposition party
including my husband (MICHEAL MONGO), who did not support this ill-fated
action. But before the death of my husband and the consistent threats to his
life, he anticipated some dangers and so he smuggled out the sum of
US$25.m(TWENTY FIVE Million United States Dollars), to South Africa since
it is the nearest neighboring country and deposited it in a security
company with the intention of using it for the purchase of New farm
machinery and chemicals for Agricultural purposes in South Africa as well
as a purchase of some hectares of land in Swaziland.
During the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF) ruling party
trooped into our compound and axed him(my husband) to death. Since then,
they have been terrorizing my only son, MICHEAL (JR) but I succeeded to work
for his escape to a neighboring country, South Africa as a political
asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does not permit
him to open an account or normalise this fund for any meaningful business
transaction in south Africa since He does not have a south Africa Identity
Card. That is why I want this fund to be transferred into your Nominated
account so that you will assist him to invest it in your country.
Hence,if you agree to assist us, we have two options for you, we have
agreed to go into partnership with you and your family or in the
alternatve, we offer you 30%of the money for your assistance, 5% will be
for the possible expenses incurred in the process of this transaction,
while 65%will be for our family investment in your country,through your
assistance.
I want you to understand that this fund is purely a family fund/ money and
not drug money, nor could it be classified as government fund or Money
Laundering affairs and it could be substanciated by relevant authorties by
our attorney.
It is Family fund but termed confidential because I do not want my son to
be traced to where he is presently. If you are interested in assisting us,
kindly contact my son or myself with this email address, and the telephone
number above. Right now, I am presently in south Africa with MICHEAL(JR) my
son and the whole of my family sequel to the tensed political situation
and the fear for our lives in Zimbabwe. I need your urgent and
confidential response.
Thanks and God bless you
Best regards
Mrs: CHRISTIANA and MCHEAL MONGO
For The Family
