PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Good day to you,
I am Maxwell Khumalo, the first son of Mr.Morrison Khumalo,who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I decided to write you.I am 29 year of age, Before the death of my father, he was a prosperous Tobacco and coffee farmer in Zimbabwe and a major supporter of the opposition party in Zimbabwe - Movement for Democratic Change(MDC), Because of his ardent belief in pure democracy he was murdered by the supporter of the ZANU led party under the direction of President Robert Mugabe on the 29th April 2001.
Before his death on the 29th of April, he had taken me to Johannesburg South Africa to deposit the sum of US$7.5Million (Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars),in one of the private security and Trust company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe sequel to the new Land reform which was meant to collect farms and land previously owned by the white and few blacks majority.This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland which my Father has just purchased.
It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer my fathers money to a foreign country since the law of South Afric prohibits refugees or political asylum seekers to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial investment in South Africa.I consulted an Attorney who is high class lawyer who is going to assist us legally to transfer this money into your account, already the lawyer has seek an advice from one of the director in the Apex Bank of South Africa that is the South African Reserve Bank and the director advice that it is good that my foreign partner provide bank account for a HI-TCH-FREE transferring of this fund.
As the eldest son of my father,I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account or foreign business partner where this money could be transferred into or who can hold this money on trust for me pending when I shall come over for investment purpose I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Which ever the option you want, feel free to notify me.
If you are realy capable and willing to assist me please contact me immediately with the above Tel, or this e-mail address with which I have sent you this message.Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible,and with every amount of confidentiality I am in dire need to leave this country soonest.I advice that you send to me your personal phone/fax numbers for easy communication.
Your positive reply will be blessing to us.
Tanks for your mutual co-operation.
Kind Regards,
Maxwell Khumalo.
(For the Family)
