Subject: PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE OF ZIMBABWE
TEL: 27-83-420-5189
ATTN:THE PRESIDENT/ CEO
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Daer Sir/Madam,
You may be suprised to recieve this letter from me since you dont know me personnally, but for the introduction, I am MR JEFF NDOTA, the son of MR. SAMUEL NDOTA who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact from the INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTRE here in Johannesburg and i decieded to write you.
My late father was among the few black zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party, partly controlled by the white minority. Before his death, he had taken me to johannesburg to deposit the sum of TWENTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ( US$20M) with a private security and finance company, with network of branches in Africa, Europe and in different parts of America, as if he knew the looming danger in zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as germstones to avoid much demurrage from the security company. This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the establishment of new farms in lesotho and swaziland.
This land problem arose when president Robert Mugabe introduced a new land reforms act, which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black who vehemently condemned the Modus Operandi adopted by the government. This resulted to rampant killings and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs. So far, more than forty-nine(49) people have been killed and countless number of farm workers displaced.
Heads of government from the west, especially Britain and United States of America have voiced their condamnation of Mugabe`s plan. Subsequently, the Southern Africa Development Community (SADEC) has continuosly supported mugabe`s new land reform Act.
It is against this background that I and my family who are currently staying in south africa have decieded to transfer my father`s money into a foreign account.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transfered without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our family wealth and South African government seems to be playing around with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for the fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have almost the same political history. More so, South Africa does not allow such investment hence I am seeking for asylum.
As businessman whom I must entrust my future and that of my family on his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk-free and the nature of your business does not neccessarily matter. Therefore, if you accept to assist my family, and me, we are willing to offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, 70% for my family, and me, while 5% will be mapped out for all expenses. I would wish to invest in your country on commercial property based on your personal or company account.
If this propasal is acceptable by you, please do send to me your personal details, name and address, telephone and fax numbers. You should know that this business is highly confidential and shall be kept within you alone. I hope to hear from you on the above fax and phone numbers. The consignment of the defaced cash would be moved to any branch of the security company nearest to you. Upon receipt of your response, I will provide you with necessary details to enable you proceed and claim the fund from the security company for our investments, pending my arrival to your country.
Best regards,
MR JEFF NDOTA.
