Mr. Frank Moyo
Johannesburg,
South Africa
Dear Sir,
With warm heart I offer my friendship and greetings and I
hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or
surprising this contact might seem to you as we have Not
met personally or had any dealings in the past, I Humbly
ask that you take due consideration of its Importance and
the immense benefit it will be to you.
After careful consideration with my Mother, we resolved to
contact you for your most needed assistance in this manner.
I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy, if this
contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal
to you as a person of integrity.
For the purpose of introduction. I am Mr. Frank Moyo the
First Son of late Brigadier George Moyo from Zimbabwe
currently hiding in South Africa as refugees. My Father
served in the ZANU PF Government lead by Robert Mugabe in
Zimbabwe.
He operated in Mozambique, Angola, and Congo formerly Zaire
lead by Mobutu Sese Seko, during this period He was used as
a confidante?s by Robert Mugabe and his hierarchy to
carry out their shady deals of smuggling Diamonds and gold
from mines which were situated in areas controlled by
Zimbabwean soldiers.
During this period He managed to accumulate a personal
fortune of US$18,000,000 (Eighteen Million United States
Dollars) which he secretly Lodged with a security and
finance company here in South Africa as 'precious
Stones because of the fear of my country president
Robert Mugabe.
Before the 2002 presidential election in Zimbabwe my
Father defected to the opposition Movement for Democratic
Change (MDC) because he defied an order to send a
contingent of his battalion to go and attack innocent white
farmers for refusing to give up their land, as a result of
that and because of the position my Father held and the
secret duties that he executed for ZANU PF he was put under
surveillance by the central intelligence organization and
Mugabe's secret police. He was caught and thrown into
the prison and later he was killed by Robert Mugabe and his
partners.
Before his death, me managed to smuggle out a letter to me
intimating me about the existence of the sum, which he
deposited with the security and finance company in South
Africa, which he acquired during his operations for
R.Mugabe and ZANU PF.
Because of the strong relationship existing between the
current South Africa Government and Zimbabwean Government
it is increasingly becoming too risky for me and my Mother
to remain in South Africa,and as a refugee we are not
allowed to carry out any monetary or banking transaction
even to do work or do business we are not allowed as a
refugee,because it is against their policy on assyllum
seekers.
As a result of this I am seeking your assistance to help
us (me and my mother) clear this fund and deposit it in
your personal account in your country for our investment.
For your assistance we (I and my Mother) is prepared to
give you 30% of the total sum as compensation, and 10% is
set aside to settle any expenses that we might incur during
the cause of clearing and transferring this fund to your
nominated account, while the remaining 60% will be for us
(me and my Mother), for our investment in your company,
under your supervision and with you as our fund manager.
For more information regarding this transaction, I would
appreciate if you contact me through this email
address fran_moyoz@yahoo.co.uk, immediately for more
briefings and details.
Your urgent response is highly needed.
Best regards,
Mr.Frank Moyo (for the family)
