Subject: I NEED YOUR HELP.
Mr. Lauren Moyo
103 Rivonia Road Sandton
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. LAUREN MOYO the First Son of late Brigadier GEORGE KUMA 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 country, 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 johnnmoyo@webmail.co.za, immediately for more briefings and details.
Your urgent response is highly needed.
Best regards,
Mr. Lauren Moyo,(for the family)
