BUSINESS INQUIRY/ INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir,
I am Mr.JAMES KANTE a Zimbabwean and the son of
Mr. JOSEPH KANTE
a renowned Farmer in Bulawayo Town in The Peoples
Republic of Zimbabwe (Southern
Africa).
I write to you on behalf of the KANTE`s family, to
request if you are
available and have the facility to assist my family
undertake some capital
investment in your country. It will be necessary to
inform you that the{US$18.2M}EIGHTEEN million TWO Hundred
Thousand United States
Dollars)intended for capitalization
of the investments are presently in the custody
of a private security company here in Johannesburg,
South Africa which we
enquire to transfer out of South Africa immediately
for the said investment
purposes.
You may have heard of the present crisis in Zimbabwe
caused by Land use
act of the government of Robert Mugabe in which his
government has arbitrarily
reclaimed and acquired all farm lands owned by the
white farmers in the
country. This has caused a historical displacement of
the white folks who
are known to be the country's main farmers, and also
killing and imprisonment
of thousands of these white farm owners by the
ruthless government forces.My
father in his good joined the international community
in condemning and
speaking out against this uncivilized and bizarre
policy of the government.
As a result of this matter, a group of assailants
suspected to be government
forces attacked and killed my father in cold blood in
our farm last year.Seeing
that the entire KANTE's family was in threat of
extinction, I immediately
fled Zimbabwe to South Africa with my mother and
sister, where we have been
since then as refugee under the United Nation
camps.Prior however, to my
father`s untimely death he had sold some of his farm
lands including those
of some of his white farmer associates who had
transferred ownership of
their farm lands to my father to forestall the
government acquiring them.
He secretly sent the proceeds {US$18.2M} EIGHTEEN
million
TWO Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) to South
Africa. And deposited
it in a metal box with a private security company here
in Johannesburg.
I now contact you for immediate assistance in lifting
the funds out of South
Africa for investments in your country. Every needful
arrangement through
which the transfer will be affected to your account
has been made. And for
helping us actualize this matter, we have agreed to
offer you 25% of the
total money, 5% will be mapped out for the expenses we
may incur during
this transaction then 70% will be for my family.
Considering the nature
of this matter, we require that it be handled most
discreetly.
Kindly contact me using the above email address, Or by
telephone on +27
835916388.upon receipt of this letter for Execution
details and other necessary
discussion.
In anticipation of your trusted and genuine assistance
I remain,
Yours sincerely,
Mr.JAMES KANTE (for the family).
NB:PLEASE YOUR CEL PHONE NUMBER AND FAX NUMBER IS VERY IMPORTANT.
