REQUEST FOR URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
Good day. This very confidential request should not come as a surprise to
you. But it is because of the nature of what is happening to me and my
family urged me to contact you. I had already sent
to you this same letter two weeks ago, but I am not sure if it did get to
you since I have not heard from you since then. Hence my resending it to you
again through mail, which I understand is not the best way to contact you
because of the nature of my request and the urgent attention it
requires.
My name is MR.CAESAR THEMBA, the second son of MR.BENSON THEMBA, of
Beitbridge, imbabwe. At the height of the present political crises in our
country, in which the white farmers in our country are being slained and
ripped off their belongings by the supporters of our president, Mr. Robert
G. Mugabe, in their efforts to reclaim all the white owned farms in our
country.My father and my elder brother were brutally slained to a painful
death in their struggle to protect some white farmers who ran to take refuge
in our farm. My father, during his life on earth was a prominent indigenous
farmer and also trades on Diamond and Gold from some countries in Africa. He
publicly opposes the crude policies and crime against humanity on the white
farmers by Mr. Robert Mugabe and his followers. As a result of which the
president followers invaded my fathers farm, burnt down everything and
brutally slained him and my elder brother due to their role in trying to
protect these white farmers.
And using media law restriction to protect their wicked acts. That not being
enough, the president and his followers after winning the last Undemocratic
Elections decided to confiscate assets of our black indigenes who are
opposing his policies and who support the white farmers, along with the
assets of these white farmers themselves, which are being presently
confiscated. I therefore decided to move my mother and younger sister to the
Republic of South Africa for safety of our lives, where we presently seeked
for political asylum, temporarily. During my father’s life on earth, he had
LODGED the sum of Eleven million Six hundred Thousand United States dollars
(US$11.6000.00) to be shared between me and my elder brother before he met
his untimely death on that faithful day.
This he had deposited with a finance and security company in the Republic of
South Africa from where he operates most of his Gold and Diamond trades to
our country. In view of this and as the only surviving son of my father, and
with the present clamp down, killing and confiscation assets
of supporters of the white farmers presently in our country, I therefore
humbly wish to notify you of my intention to use your name and address as my
Trustee in lifting this money out of Africa finally, and also seek for your
honest and trustworthy assistance to help me clear and commodate this fund,
before it will be dictated and confiscated by the president Mugabe’s regime.
My mother and myself have agreed to make these provisions; 1.That 20% of the
total money will be given to you for your assistance in clearing and
accommodating this fund.
2.That 10% of the total money will be set aside for taxation and any other
expenses that might be incurred in the course of this transaction, while the
remaining,70% will be for me and my family for our future investment
purposes which will depend on your assistance. Please I hope you will grant
and view this very request with favour and much understanding of our
situation now, and will be a very honest and reliable person to deal with.
And also bearing in mind the confidential nature of my request to yourself
to protect my family and yourself rendering the help.
Thanking you in anticipation of your urgent response as soon as you read
this very request.
Best regards,
CAESAR THEMBA.
