REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
ATTN:Sir/madam.
I know this letter will sound surprise and strange to you, but please I would like you to consider me with your humanitarian ability and urgency this proposal requires. First of all, I got your contact through the commerce and industry via internet raptuin search in your country looking for a reliable person to entrust my confident in this regard of the money I have with me US$ 25 MILLION. Searching for a partner to assist me carry out the real project successfully. In regard to this, I am CHRISTOPHER KHUMALO of Zimbabwe. I am one of the confident bodyguard of HIS EXCELLENCY ROBERT MUGABE, THE PRSIDENT OF ZIMBABWE.
However, as a matter of fact, you might be aware of His Administrative Policy Against the White People, Minority in Zimbabwe, especially the White Farmers. He seized their farms, land and treasures from them for his selfishness uses. His attitude and greediness has caused fears and these has made many world leaders to hate and condemned his leadership.
Now he is afraid of intimidation and will step down from leadership any time according to him. Then, on hearing this news, as his confident bodyguard, he uses to send me to different countries to put some huge amount of money all in United States Dollars on several occasions he send me out to put US$ 20 – 30 Million to his private account for safety and private investment purposes. The country he always send me to is Malaysia. He has an account in Swiss Bank and the president of Malaysia is his friend. All these money he is saving it for his private selfishness. I always put the money in diplomatic bags, then now I went to South Africa with him for the world summit on sustainable development. We came there with the sum of US$ 30 Million but he told me to fly immediately to Malaysia the following day, to put the money in his private account as usual as he has alresdy removed $5 Million United States Dollars.
I agreed and on my way I decided to use the opportunity to enrich myself and ran with the money. I deposited it in a private security company here in South Africa and no other person knows about me and the source of the money. As a result of this I decided to contact you soliciting for your assistance to help me transfer this money to your private or company’s account so that I will share it with you and for safety investment purposes after we transfer it in your country.
Finally if you indicate your willingness or interest to help me secure the money out of South Africa to your account, then I shall give you 30% of the whole money. I would like you to contact me immediately on receiveing this message through my private mobile number for further details in transferring this money into your oversea account in your country or any part of the world as far as your trust is gurranteed inorder not to betray me.
please be kind enough to send me your private/direct telephone/fax numbers for easy communication.
Thanks for your co-operation as you keep this confidential.
Best regards and reply urgently.
Christopher Khumalo.
