Dear Sir,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal, which I
believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was
doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign
partner that will assist my family and I to transfer fund to his private
account and for investment purpose. I am Mr. Anesu Manjengwa, the son of
Late Mr. Ali Khen Manjengwa, a former Harare provincial central committee
member of the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front
(ZANU-PF) also "Chairman" of the farmer’s co-operation in Zimbabwe.
it will be necessary to inform you that the {US$13M}Thirteen million united
states dollars)intended for pitalization of the investments are presently in
the custody of a private security company here in Johannesburg, South Africa
which we require to transfer out of South Africa immediately for the said
investment purposes. You may have heard of the present crisis in Zimbabwe
orchestrated by the unprecedented Land use Act of the government of Robert
Mugabe in which this government has arbitrarily reclaimed and acquired all
farm lands owned by the white farmers in the country.
This has caused a historical displacement of the white folks who are known
to be the country's mainfarmers.The ensuing struggles and strife have
brought about the killing and imprisonment of thousands of these white farm
owners by the ruthless government forces designated to enforce this new
order. My father, in his good will, joined the international community in
condemning and speaking out against this uncivilized and bizarre policy of
Robert Mugabes government. As a result of my father firm and upright
position on this matter, a group of assailants suspected to be government
sympathizers attached and killed my father in cold blood.
Seeing that the entire Manjengwa family was in serious threat of extinction,
we immediately fled Zimbabwe to South Africa, where we have sojourned ever
since as refugee under the United Nations. Prior however, to my father
untimely death he had sensing the rising hostilities, sold some of his farm
lands including those of some of his white farmer associates who had
transferred ownership of their farm lands to my father to forestall the
government acquiring them. My father secretly sent the proceeds {US$13m}
Thirteen million United States dollars from sales of the farm lands to South
Africa. And deposited same in a metal box with a private security company
here in Johannesburg.
We are presently in South Africa as Refugee (Asylum Seekers) We are ready to
give you 30% of the total amount for the inconveniences this we cost you and
for accepting to assist us, contact me on the above phone and Emai
(anesumanjengwa4@yahoo.co.in) indicating your interest as soon as possible,
on receiving of your acceptance, I shall be glad to give you more
clarification on the modalities needed for smooth successful completion of
this transaction.
It is equally important to state here that considering the nature of this
matter, we will required that it is handled most discreetly.
I anticipate your quick response.
Best regard.
Mr. Anesu Manjengwa.
