Attn: Director,
How are you and your family today? I hope that you are all okay. I found information about you and decided to contact you for an important assistance. I am Mathah Mathan a citizen of Zimbabwe, but I am contacting from here in South Africa where I am now seeking political asylum.
I am the only son of Shanty Mathan, a wealthy farmer and senior politician with the opposition political party in my country, Movement for Democratic Change [MDC]. Our wicked President, Robert Mugabe, murdered my father and I fled my country, because
I have become his next target to eliminate.
My father was a fighter for Justice and a moving force
in the MDC, a part wanting to end the several years of brutal dictatorship government of President Robert Mugabe. You will read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting this web sites;

My father was accused of Treason and also assisting the White farmers in fighting the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he was reported dead. The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body was never seen for proper autopsy, they buried him in the government cemetery. My father's associate Mr. Martin Olds a White farmer from Britain assisted me in fighting my father’s death through the Court and media; the government saw us as a big treat to them and decided to eliminate us. Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his house, but fortunately, before they came looking for me, I received the news and I had tale through the border to South Africa, to save my life.
My arrival here in South Africa still remains like a miracle to me. Here, is my reasons for contacting you, I am having a huge sum of money in the total sum of $18.6Million presently lodge in the security company in South Africa. My father kept this money in two trunk boxes in disguise as family treasures and could not bank them, because of the situation in my country. The government seized my father’s business, farms and banks account before his arrest and murder.
He told me everything concerning the funds while he was still in detention and I have made several arrangements concerning the shipment of the boxes out of my country because we cannot invest it there.
I was on the process when I fled the country. I need your assistance in securing the funds there in your country, so that I can arrange on how to come over to your country to invest with the fund.
I am willing to offer you 30% of the $18.6Million or your assistance. Please, let me know if you can assist me, so that I can give you more details on how we shall proceed.
As I wait for your urgent response, please treat this information as top secret.
Thanks
Best regards
Mathah Mathan
