DEAR MANAGING DIRECTOR,
GOOD DAY,
You may be surprised to receieve this letter since you
don't know me personally. I am MR JOSEPH SITHOLE.The first
son of DR.ROBERT SITHOLE, who was recently murdered in the
land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through South
Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg
and I decided to write for an assistance.
My late Father, was among the few black Zimbabwean rich
farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling
government of President Robert Mugabe. For his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean Opposition party
controlled by the whites. Before his death, he had taken
me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$32.5 .Million
(Thrity -two Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) with a security and finance company as if he
foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was
deposited in a box as a consignment, (Family Valveable)to
the security company to avoid seizure, and also to avoid
much demurrage from the security company.
This money was given to my Father by president Mugabe for
investment purpose while they were still in good terms.This
land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced
a new land act, which wholly affected the rich farmers, and
some few blacks eventually vehemently condemned the modus
operandi adopted by the government. And that resulted to
rampant killing and mob actions by the veterans and some
political thugs, precisely, many people have been killed.
Heads of government from Western World, especially Britain
and United States of America have voiced their condemnation
of Mugabe 's plan subsequently, the South African
Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously 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 decided to transfer my Fathers money into a
foreign account.
As the first son of my late Father, I am saddled with the
responsibility of seeking a responsible person who will
help us to transfer this money without the knowledge of my
government and who had tactically freezing our family
wealth and South African Government seems to be playing
alongside with them. We have decided not to invest this
money in South Africa for the fear of seizure and
encountering the same experience in future,since both
countries have almost the same political history.More so,
the South African Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow
such investment hence I am an asylum seeker. I should let
you know that this transaction is 100% risk free.
So, please if you accept to assist my family,we are
offering you 30% of the total sum,60% for me and my family
while 10% will be mappedout for any expenses, we may incure
during the course of this transaction,and we are willing to
accept any reasonable condition you may deem necessary,also
we can as well go into partnership business with you.
please reply immediately to facilitate immediate action
toward the transaction,Please contact me on the telephone
numbers transcribed above.
Remember this business is highly confidential and shall be
kept within you alone.
Best regards,
MR.JOSEPH SITHOLE.
