Subject: my plea
FROM:ROBERT MPOYO
NO:19 FERDNAND AVENUE
SANTON CITY JOHANESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
TEL;+27838579649
Dear Sir,
You may be suprised to recieve this letter since you don't know me
personally. I am Mr Robert Mpoyo the Son of Dr.Simon Mpoyo, who was recently
murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through South
Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E)here in Johannesburg and I decided to
write for an assistance.
My 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, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$
18 Million (Eighteen Million 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 a consignment, to the security company to avoid
seizure, and also to avoid much demurrage from the security company.
This money was given to my father by president Mugabe for investment purpose
while they were still in good terms.This land problem arose when President
Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act, which wholly affected the rich
farmers, and some few blacks eventually vehemently condemned the modus
operandi adopted by the government. And that resulted to rampant killing and
mob actions by the veterans and some political thugs, precisely, more than
thirty-one(31) people have been killed.
Heads of government from Western World, especially Britain and United States
of America have voiced theircondemnation of Mugabe 's plan subsequently, the
South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported
Mugabe's new land reform act.It is against this background that I and my
mother who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer my
fathers money into a foreign account.
As the eldest Son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking an account where this money could be transferred without the
knowledge of my government who had tactically freezing our family wealth and
South African Government seems to be playing alongside with them.
We have decided not to invest this money in South Africa for the fear of
seizure and 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 we are asylum seeker.
As a business man I should entrust my future and that of my family on his
hands, I should let you know that this transaction is risk free.
Therefore if you accept to assist my family,we are offering you 20% of the
total sum,70% for me and my family while 10% will be mapped out for any
expenses we may incure during the courseof this transaction. We are willing
to accept any reasonable condition you may deem necessary,and we can as well
go into partnership business with you.
please reply immediately to facilitate immediate action towards the
transaction.
Remember this business is highly confidential and shall be kept within you
alone.Do as well send me your direct phone number should this offer interest
you.
Best Regards
Robert Mpoyo
