Subject: Urgent Assistance Needed,
JOHNNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
FROM:MRS.MAGRET DENGURA
TELL:+27-83-9651723
Dear SIR/MADAM
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you
don't know me personally, I am Mrs.MAGRET DENGURA, the
wife of late Dr.Cliff DENGURA , who was recently
murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your
contact through South African Information exchange
(S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg and I decided to write
for an assistance.
My late husband was among the few blacks Zimbabwe
rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of
the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe for
his alleged support and sympathy of the Zimbabwean
opposition party controlled by the whites.
Before his death, he took me and my son MARTIN to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$21.6 Million
{TWENTY ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND United states
Dollars}in MARTIN's name as the beneficiary with a
private Security and Finance Company as if he
foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited as a consignment in a box to
the security company to avoid seizure, and to avoid
much demurrage from the security company.
This money was for the purchase of new machines for
the farm and establishment of a new farm in
swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe
introduce a new land act which wholly effects the rich
white farmers and some blacks vehemently condemned the
modus operadi adopted by the government that resulted
to rampant killings and mob actin by the war veterans
and some political thugs, precisely more than sixty
one (61) people have been killed. Heads of government
from Western World especially Britain and United
States of America have voice their condemnation of
Mugabe's plans.
Subsequently, the South African development community
(SADC) 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 husband's money into a
foreign account.
Please,if you are willing to help me,I and my son have
agreed to give you 25% while 5%will be for any
expenses incurred in the process of this transaction
while 75% will be for my family investment in your
Country.
As the only wife to my late husband, I am saddled with
the responsibility of seeking for an account where
this money could be transferred without the knowledge
of my government who had tactically freezing our
family wealth and South African Government seems to be
playing along side with them. We have decided not to
invest this amount of 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
we are asyllum seekers.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk
free. Therefore if you accept this proposal,please
contact my son MARTIN DENGURA who is the beneficiary
with this e-mail address
Please do send a mail , but you should know that this
is highly confidential and shall be kept within you
alone.Have a nice stay and GOD bless you.
Best regards,
MRS.MAGRET DENGURA,.
{FOR THE FAMILY}
