Subject: Urgent Partnership,
Urgent Partnership,
I am Mrs. SUSAN SHABANGU, wife of the late NDLEBE SHABANGU who was murdered
by the Zimbabwean veterans and irate black people. I got your contact
address during my search for an honest and reliable person to
transact a genuine business with. Thus, I write to solicit for your
special assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government
led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party-president
Robert Mugabe. Because of land and farmland crises in Zimbabwe, the
government dispossess the land being occupied by white farmers. This
action has led to the killing of some members of opposition party
including my husband , who did not support this
irrational act.
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so
he smuggled out the sum of US$13M(THIRTEEN MILLION DOLLARS), to South
Africa and deposited it in a Security Company with the intention of using
it for the purchase of farm machinery and chemicals for Agricultural
purposes for a new farming site.
On the 29th July 2001, the war veterans and some supporters of
(ZANU-PF) ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him (my
husband) to death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only
son, , but he first managed to escape to a
neighbouring country, South Africa where he sought for political
asylum (refugee) under united nations protection and after he will
arrange for me and my daughters to come over, according to my son the
financial law of South Africa does not allow asylum seekers certain
financial rights to such a huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot
invest this money in the present country where it is rightnow, hence I am
asking you to assist me transfer this money out for investment purposes
like (farming, Hotel business or Real Estate).
For your effort I AM OFFERING YOU US$3M(THREE MILLION US DOLLARS)
I have already mapped out 5% for miscellaneous expenses.
Sir Before my husband’s death, he was one of the well-known black
farmers at Insiza Farm, Bulawayo in Zimbabwe. In his WILL he
specifically drew my attention to the sum of US$13M, which he
deposited, and always emphasize on the future of our children as if
he knew what was going to happen.
INFACT MY HUSBAND SAID IN HIS WILL AND I QUOTE:
My beloved wife, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of US$13M
(THIRTEEN MILLION US DOLLARS),
which I deposited,in a box with a security company. The conflict in the
country put me into great fear. You know how I am dedicated and committed
to farming and as well as the new site, which we are planning to establish
out of Zimbabwe because of our oppressive Government. Due to this, I
consulted my legal adviser, we held some meetings and I decided to take the
money out of the country to secure
our future and more especially for our children. In case of my
absence on earth caused by death only. You should solicit for a reliable
foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of the country I
deposited it, for security reasons, for taking care of my children and
investment purposes. I deposited the money in your name and you can claim
it only with the deposit security code.
>From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my
family depends on this money. As such I will be very grateful if you
can assist us.Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will
be conveyed to you once we have established trust and confidence
between ourselves. This money is not drug money, laundering nor from
government. It is personal fund but termed confidential because I do
not want my son to be traced to where he is presently.Please treat this
matter as very urgent.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS.
MRS SUSAN SHABANGU.
