Attn: Dear Friend,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I
believe would be of great interest to you. I found your contact while I was
doing a private research on the Internet for
a reliable and capable foreign partner that would assist my family and I. I
am MRS. RITA KHUMALO the wife of MR. FREDRICK KHUMALO of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of
our PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his
party members and his followers. My husband who was one of the best farmers
in our country and treasurer of the white farmers co-operation did not
support his idea and so the party members invaded my husband’s farms and
burnt everything in the farm, killed my husband and made away with a lot of
items in my husband’s farm.
Before his death, he deposited the Sum of US$18.MILLION (EIGHTEEN MILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLARS) with a security and finance company in Johannesburg
South Africa for safekeeping, as if he foresaw the looming danger that could
erupt from the farm struggle in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box
as a consignment labelled''FAMILY TREASURE'' with the security company.
This frame of mind was inform as not to allow the company management to have
the knowledge of the real content of the box for obvious security reasons.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemicals
for the farms and the establishment of new farms
settlements in Lesotho and Swaziland.
Presently, we are residing temporarily in Johannesburg South Africa, pending
on the outcome of an appeal filed on our behalf by our attorney for the
department of Home Affairs to grant us asylum status. At the moment we are
in dilemma to the fiscal laws inhibiting South African Refugees on monetary
policy. We request that this proposal should be granted so that we can be
able to transfer this money to your nominated account outside South Africa
for investment purpose.
But the problem we are facing is how to get an honest and responsible person
that can keep this money safe and stand as the beneficiary. That is why this
proposal comes to you.
My son and I have agreed to establish a joint investment in your country if
only it will suit you, otherwise, we will discuss what amount will be given
to you from the total amount as your own share of money for your humble
assistance. This will be discussed in our subsequent conversation, if you
choose not to invest with us.
If you sincerely wish to assist us with the whole of your heart to transfer
this fund into your nominated bank account, please send e-mail to me as
quickly as possible, give me your phone number and fax for more convenient
discussion. NOTE: This transaction is risk free and absolutely confidential.
Thanks and remain blessed.
Best regards,
MRS.RITA KHUMALO (For the family)
