PRIVATE INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE
ATTN: MANAGING DIRECTOR,
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am MR JAMES KUNTA the first son of MR. DAVID KUNTA was recently murdered
in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through network online
hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me
to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$20.5Milllion (Twenty million, five
hundred thousand United States Dollars), in one of the private security
company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was
deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from Security
Company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the
farms and established of new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came when
Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduce a new Land Act reform which
wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks farmers. And this
resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some
lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of
this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the victim.
It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently
staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father’s money to foreign
account since the laws of South Africa prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to
open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction
throughout the territorial zone South Africa. As the eldest son of my
father, I am saddle with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign
account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my
government who are bent on taking very thing we have got. The South African
government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma
of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of going through
the same experience in future since both countries have similar political
history. Moreover, the South African Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow
such investments for an asylum seeker.
As a reliable businessman, I would be glad if you can suggest to us a viable
business ventures we can embark on in your country in addition, I would like
to know more on financial and immigration laws as it affects foreign
investors. Be informed that 20% has been mapped for you as composition.
Another 5% for general expenses, then the remaining 75% for me and my
family.
Do please treat this with utmost confidentiality and urgency
Yours Faithfully,
MR JAMES KUNTA
(For the Family)
