Amsterdam-The Netherlands
Good Day,
You may be surprise to recieve this email from me since you do not know me personally.l am Mr Steven
Madunga the first son of Dr Benjamin Madunga who was recently murdered in the land dispute in
zimbabwe.i was furnished with viable information from the world trade centre here in Amsterdam,The
Netherlands and decided to write you.
Before the death of my father,he had taken me to johanesburg to deposit the sum of ten million five
hundred thousand united states Dollars(US$10.500.00) in a diplomatic security company that move the
money diplomatically to the Netherlands,as if he forsaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.This money was
deposited in a box as diplomatic items of high value to reduce the cost of transportation and to avoid
much demurage from the security company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for farms and establishment of
new famland in Zwaziland.This land became problem when Zimbabwe President Mr Robert
Mugabe,introduced a new land reform policy that wholly affected rich farmers mainly white and some new
black farmers.This resulted to the killing and mob action by zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in
the society.ln fact a lot of people were killed because of this land reform program which my father was
one of the victims.
lt against this background that i am currently staying in Amsterdam as a refugee and to seek for a trust
worthy individual/firm to advice me in making the rightful investment as well as to provide foreigh
account(s) where the funds will be lodged into since the law of the Netherlands prohibit a refugee(asylum
seeker) to open account or to be involved in any financial transaction.
As the eldest son of my father,i am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreigh account
where this money could be transferred.
l am faced with the dilema of investing this money in the Netherlands since the since their policy does not
allow such investment from asylum seekers.
As regards your commission/remuneration ,i and my immediate family have decided to offer you 25% of
the total sum immediately we clear the consignment from the diplomatic security vault and also set 5% for
all your expencses (i.e telephone bills,travelling expenses,hotel bills and other miscellaneous expenses)
Note: l shall commit half of my share of the total sum into a joint venture project preferably in the purchase
of real estate or other profitable business.Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind, as soon as i get
your consent i will furnish you with the details and the contact of the security company and a face to face
meeting will be arranged in other to know each other better.
Please contact me with the above Email address,while i implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy
required in this transaction.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Steven Madunga
