Subject: TRANSFER OF FAMILY FUND

58 MARVIIN AVENUE
SOUTH AFRICA
TEL: +27-73-13-13-740.
TRANSFER OF FAMILY FUND
Good Day,
I am sure you will be surprised to receive this letter, since you do not
know me personally but consider it as a request from a family member in dire
need of your assistance. In brief introduction I am Mrs. Monica Nkosi a
Zimbabwean Citizen and the wife of Mr. Richard Nkosi JP.
I got your contact address from the South Africa Information Exchange
(S.A.I.E) and on behalf of my family we seek your help. Before my husband's
death last year June 2002, my husband was among the few rich Zimbabwean
black farmers, murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government
of the incumbent President of Zimbabwe Dr.Robert Mugabe for his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the
white minority. This land reform mayhem arose when President Mugabe enforced
his land reform act; the whole thing resulted to rampant killings and mob
actions by his so-called war veterans against renewed farmers, both whites
and blacks alike. Despite the world condemnation of this form of dictatorial
leadership, President Mugabe kept using this to subdue and intimidate his
political enemies. Farmers were the targets of the so-called veterans; this
resulted to the death of a lot of good farmers in our country. Before the
death of my husband, he took me to South Africa to deposit some huge amount
of money in a security company for safekeeping; this fund was embarked for
the purchase of land in Lesotho and Swaziland. He did not disclose the
original content of the consignment to the security company.
He declared the consignment as 'Archival Antiques' as if he foresees looming
danger. My husband specifically drew my attention to his will and to the sum
of (US$15 Million United States Dollars) that was deposited here in
Johannesburg, South Africa with the security company. MY HUSBAND said and I
quote "MY DEAR WIFE, I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MONEY WHICH I
DEPOSITED IN SOUTH AFRICA TO FAVOUR YOU. IN CASE AND IN THE CAUSE OF MY
ABSENCE ON EARTH, YOU SHOULD MAKE VERY GOOD USE OF THIS FUND FOR THE WELL
BEING OF THE ENTIRE FAMILY."

Based on this explanation, your assistance is highly solicited to transfer
this money out of here for investment purpose, without the knowledge of my
government who had tactically frozen our wealth and the South Africa
government seems to be playing along with them. We are faced with dilemma of
investing this money in South Africa for fear of seizure since both
countries seems to be working together we have been deliberating on how to
invest this fund in your country in a confidential manner. We have concluded
of investing in a rapidly growing business (Real Estate), which we know is
on the rise all over the world. We would like to know the possibility of
this, and the amount required to Start up in your country or any other
venture you could recommend to us will be welcomed. We are presently living
in South Africa as asylum seeker, certain rights such as huge amount or to
work while in the country are been denied. Therefore, if you accept to
assist us, we are willing to offer you 25% of the total sum, 70% for us and
5% have been mapped out for any expenses that may occur during the cause of
this transaction like hotel bills and flight tickets.
Note: Modalities on how the transfer will be done has been arranged and
would be conveyed to you once we have established communication/trust with
you. You’re urgent And immediate response will be highly appreciated. Please
