From: "steve zundi" <stezun3@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2006 11:52:53 +0200
Subject: COPERATE WITH ME
FROM:MR.STEVE ZUNDI.
Johanesburg,SouthAfrica
DEAR Sir,
My name is as above stated,the elder son of Mr.Andrew Zundi from the
Republic of Zimbabwe.It might be a surprise to you where i got your contact
address.I got your contact from the South Africa Chamber of Commerce in
Johannesburg. During the current war against the farmers in zimbabwe from
the supporters of our Presdent Robert Mugabe,in his effort to chase all the
whit farmers out of the country,he ordered all the white farmers to
surrender their farms to his party members and his followers.My father,was
one of the best and successful farmers in
our country and formerly the Finance Minister of Robert Mugabe
administration,but he did not support the idea of dispossessing the white
farmers of their land.Because of this,his farm was invaded and burnt by
government supporters.In the course of the attack, my
father was killed, and the invaders made away with a lot of items from my
father's farm. And our family house was utterly destroyed.My mother died too
out of heart attack.
Before the death of my father,he drew my attention to the sum of US$18.5M
[EITHEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED US DOLLARS],Which he deposited with a security
company in South Africa during his tenure as the Finance Minister of
Zimbabwe.My sister and I decided to move out of Zimbabwe for our own
security,because our lives were in danger.We decided to move to the Republic
of South Africa where my father deposited this money.Till date, the security
company is not aware of the content of the consignment because my father
used his Diplomatic
immunity as at that time to deposit the consignment as important personal
valuables.
I desided to have contact with overseas person/firm who will assist me to
move the money out of South Africa.This becomes necessary becaose as
political asylum seekers,we are not allowed to own or operate a
bank account.If you accept this proposal,you shall receive 25% of the entire
amount for assisting us to move this money out,70% of this amount shall be
for us, and the remaining 5% shall be mapped out for
expenses incurred in the course of the transaction.
I want you to immediately confirm your interest.As soon as i get your
response,I will give you more details on how we can proceed.
Thanks for your anticipated coperation.Urgent response waited.
Best regards,
Mr.STEVE ZUNDI.
[for the family]
