Dear sir/madam,
Please don't be offended or surprised to receive this mail which is sent
without your prior permission since we do not know each other before now,
but we will meet soon. Because of my situation i got your contact through
South Afrcan exchange network on line here in Johannesburg as reliable and
trustworthy to deal and then i decided to write you. because of my desperate
predicament. I am mrs.Rubeca Ugomo, the wife of late Tasawa Ugomo, a farmer
in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. This land
problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new
Land Act Reform (L.A.R.)that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some
few black farmers alike.
This resulted to the killings and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and
some lunatics in the society during political electioins in my country. In
fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which
my husband was one of the victims.
Before the death of my husband, he made a secret but undisclosed deposit
with a security firm outside Zimbabwe. He was a leading and successful
Government Contractor who was blessed.
This was done when he noticed the looming danger in Zimbabwe on land
policies.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new Agricultural machineries and
chemicals for our Farms establishment in Swaziland. The consignment was
declared to contain Gem Stones and chemicals. The actual content is
(US$17.5.M)SEVENTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S.DOLLARS.
It is against this background that all my family members fled out of
Zimbabwe for fear of our lives.As the ruleing party do know that he did not
soppurt of thier curel action. We are currently taking refuge in the
republic of South Africa where we sought political asylum. Uptill now there
is no peace or safety in my country and the family have decided to have this
funds move out of South Africa to a safer country through the addvise of
our family attorney so that the funds can be banked and invested in some
profit yielding venture or business.I must let you know that this
transaction is free from risk because I have all the necessary documents.
But we must treat the issue with relative secrecy and confidentiality in the
interest of my family for other good reasons. If you accept to assist us ,
do please contact our family attorney, DAVID NELSON (ESQ)at: his mail
address: bar_davidnelson@yahoo.com for details. His phone number is
+2773-367-0790 on what is to be done to finalize all the arrangements with
the security company. After reaching a workable agreement with you. He would
conclude all arrangements with you. He would also explain our desire to
sharing of the funds on 70%/25% 5% basis and, the subsequent investment to
be made in your country with our share as you may advise.
Regards,
Mrs Rubeca Ugomo.
