INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE
Dear
In appreciation of your esteemed contact which I got through your countries business journal in Johannesburg world trade center (WTC) and the choice of your country for investment let me introduce my self. I am Mr MARK.N.GEZI the eldest son of MR PETER. V.GEZI from ZIMBABWE.
My father was one of the gold producers in ZIMBABWE and owns one of the largest farms situated in Chinhoyi about 120km northwest of ZIMBABWE Capital, HARERE. During late June 2001 my father was among the farmers assassinated in Zimbabwe by the agents of the ruling government of president ROBERT MUGABE for his support for the Zimbabwean opposition party, which is dominated by whites.
The land dispute was aroused by president ROBERT Mugabes
introduction of new land act, which adversely affected the white farmers; this resulted to rampant killing, looting and mob action by the war veterans and political thugs.
Few weeks before this awful tragedy my father has mapped out the sum of US$18M (EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITEDN STATES DOLLARS) for the purchase of new tractors, chemicals and machinery for the farms.
Immediately after the assassination we (my family and I) made arrangement and move into South Africa with this money contain in a metal box.
Right now we are in South Africa with the money and we have deposited it in a security company. We didnt disclose the actual content of the box to the security company because of
security reasons. In fact we are refugees in South Africa as such we are not allowed to operate a bank account.
Subsequently the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has continuously supported president ROBERT Mugabes new land policy. It is against this background that we have decided to transfer this money out of South Africa into a foreign account to avoid seizure and to avoid much demurrage from the security
company, we beg for your assistance in transferring this money out of South Africa into your personal or Companies account for investment.
My mother and I have resolve to give you 20% of the money, if you are willing to help us .Be assured that all the expenses
during this transaction are subject to refund because 5% of the money was equally set aside for expenses, while I and my family will use the remaining 75% for investment in your country.
Contact me through the above telephone,or e-mail address, for further details on how to carry out the transfer.
Thanks and God bless
Best regards
Mr MARK.N.GEZI
