Dear Sir
You may be surprised to receive this I write to you,since you don't know me personally.I am Mr.Jerry Kuma,son of Dr.Morgan Kuma,who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
My family used to live in a town called Chinhoyi located in the heart of Mashonaland about 120km from Harare,the capital city of my country Zimbabwe,Chinhoyi was largely a peaceful farming area where one can own land and cultivate it if one worked hard enough.The relative peace existing in Chinhoyi and our lives were shattered with the beginning of the ruling party s sponsored land invasion by war veterans who we suspected were acting with the backing of the government of Robert Mugabe.
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 for the Zimbabwean opposition Party controlled by the whites.Before his death,My Father on one of his many trips abroad took me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$17.5 Million (Seventeen Million,Five-Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)with a security and finance company as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.Which was mapped out for the purchase of new farm machinaries,the establishment of new farms in Swaziland and Losutho.
The money was deposited with the security company on our arrival in Johannesburg to avoid its seizure and largely for it s safety too. President Mugabe gave this money to my father for investment purpose while they were still in good terms.This land problem arose when President Mugabe who according to my late father,in a desperate bid to hold on to power for life introduced a new land act,which wholly affected the rich farmers who were mostly white and some blacks eventually vehemently condemned the method adopted by the government. And that resulted in a rampant killings,lootings and wide scale mob actions by the veterans and some political thugs.Precisely,more than 31 (Thirty-One)people was killed and as I write to you now,at least 70 white and black families have fled rising violence on their farms in north-western Zimbabwe and about 300 family members had fled from about 100 raided farms.Some were flown out on light aircraft to the Kariba airport after mobs blocked sever!
al roads.Heads of government from the western world,especially Britain and the United States of America have voiced their condemnation against Mugabe's plan, subsequently the South African Development Council(SADC)has ontinuously supported Mugabe's new land reform act.It is against this background that my family and I currently staying in South Africa as asylum seekers,have decided to transfer my father's money into a foreign account.
As the eldest son of my late father,I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking an honest individual with vast experience in business to help us safeguard and invest this money.I am presently living in South Africa,as an asylum seeker and financial,law of the Republic of South Africa does not allow asylum seekers certain financial rights.In view of this,coupled to the way this money was acquired,I decided to invest this money anywhere else outside Africa,but preferably. From the above you will understand that my entire life and my family depends on this money,as such I shall be very grateful if you can assist me to transfer this money out of South Africa to your company or personal account in your name,in any of the commercial banks.
Please note that by your offering to assist us, we will offer to you 20% of the total sum as conpensation for you and also I would like to mention too that this transaction is 100% risk free and another major thing I demand from you is a honest answer if you have handled any transaction of this kind of magnitude before and assurance from you that my family has your complete trust and assurance that this money will be safe once transferred to your account.Please I can be reached on my mail address or my direct telephone number above.I shall clarify any other question you may wish to ask me.On proving your honesty we will then forward you the lodging documents for our Late father s deposit to prove our claim to you and also for confirmation.I live a very quiet life here in South Africa trying to make our family forget the recent horrors that we escaped so I please demand that you keep the existence of our late father's money strictly confidential for reasons bordering on the !
safety of myself and my family members.I shall be very grateful if you maintain the confidentiality of this business for security reasons.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours in hope,
Mr.Jerry Kuma
For the family.
