Subject: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HUMBLE ASSISTANCE FROM Kundi FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Pedro Kundi
Email address: pedkud@yahoo.co.uk
Good Day
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be
surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally.
However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person
of integrity and from a family with high moral respect. My name is Pedro Kundi, the first son of Mapele Kundi, one of the
most popular black farmers from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict, My mother and
I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the International business/peoples directory, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you.
The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political
problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the
rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers of which my father was one of the few black, and his desire to hold on
to power for life, my father for saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe.
Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major
companies. We then went to South Africa to deposit the sum of US$26.5 million(Twenty-Six million, Five Hundred Thousand.
US dollars) ,in a private security company. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and
security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in
Europe.
President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of
my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he
was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled
Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Dubai U.A.E In fact my decision to come here to stay is because the security company
from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here.
I need you to assist in receiving this consignment from the security compamy. Since i cant be able to do it myself
considering the fact that i am still a young man who does not know anything about investments,and there is no way i alone
can be involved in such transactions and my mother advised that it will be better for our foreign partner to help receive
this fund to avoid any eye brown being raised by Robert Mugabe, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner,
who will assist in receiving the funds and also investing it wisely in a profitable venture.
You have to understand that this decision taken by my Mother and I to entrusts my future in your hands, is as a result of
the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements
to claim the deposit from the security company in The Dubai U.A.E, as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg,
South Africa to their branch in The Dubai U.A.E. The company will be legally informed of you representing my family.
For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 20% of the money for your assistance,
and helping my family investing this funds, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment
of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, please notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 5% of
this money for all kinds of expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 5% of the total sum for
Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 10% for assisting in representing my family to receive this funds, then 80%
will be left for my family.
Please, I want you to maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and
co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.
Please Contact me through this email address: pedkud@yahoo.co.uk
Sincerely,
Pedro Kundi.
