Dear Sir/madam
URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know
me personally. I am Mr charles kaku, the son of late Dr JOSEPH KAKU,
who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact through Network on line in my search for a reliable
and reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction which
involves a transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write
you, my late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers
murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of president
Robert Mugabe For his alleged support and sympathy to the Zimbabwean
opposition party controlled by the white minority. Before his death he
had taken to Johannesburg - South Africa to deposit the sum of US$ 23.5
Million (Twenty three Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company as if he foresaw the looming
danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as valuables to avoid much demurrage
from the Security Company. This money was embarked from the purchase of
new machinery and chemical for farms and the establishment of new farms
in Lesotho and Swaziland.This land problem arose when President Robert
Mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white
farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the "modus operandi"
adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and
some political thugs. precisely, More than thirty-one (31) people have
so far been killed.Heads of governments from the west, especially
Britain and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of
Mugabe'splan. Subsequently, South African Development Community(S.A.D.C) has
continously supported Mugabe's new land act, it is against this
background that I and my family who are currently residing in South Africa
have decided to transfer my Father's money into a foreign account.
As the eldest son of my Father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred
without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our
family wealth and South Africa's government seems to be playing along
with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in South
Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since
both countries have almost the same political history.
More so, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment hence I am seeking for an "asylum". As a business person
whom I entrusted my future and that of my family into his hands, I must
let you know that this transaction is Exellent free and the nature of
your business does not necessarily matter.For your assistance,we are
offering you 30%of the total sum,60% for me and my family while 10% will be
mapped out for any expenses we may incure during this transaction.We
wish to invest our money on commercial property based on your advice.
Finally,I will demand for assurance that you will not sit on this money
when it finally gets to your personal or company's account in your
country. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please confirm your
interest via the above TELEPHONE or you reply through my private email
address charleskaku@yahoo.com .please don't
forget to furnish me with your fax and phone number. including your bank
information, account number, bank address and your home address of your
country with your international passport information for more
clerification.
Best Regards.
Mr charles kaku
