You may be surprised to receive this letter since you don't know me personally, I am MR FRANK HUSSEY the Son of late Dr.MIKE HUSSEY, 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 father 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 mother and me daivd to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$20m MILLION DOLLARS in DAIVD 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 fathers money into a foreign account. Please,if you are willing to help me,I and my mother have agreed to give you 30% while 10%will be for any expenses incurred in the process of this transaction while 60% will be for my family investment in your Country.
As the only son of my late father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking for an account here 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 me with this email address :hussey_frank@hotmail.com
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,
FRANK HUSSEY.
{FOR THE FAMILY}
