Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
MR STANLEY ZUMA. JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Email (stn_zumaa@yahoo.co.uk ).
ATTN: CEO/PRESIDENT,
URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
You will be surprised to receive this letter since you don't know me personally, but do see this request as a call from somebody in dare need of your kind assitance. For the purpose of introduction, I am Mr Stanley Zuma the eldest son of Dr. Smith Zuma who was recently murdered with other white farmers in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe last year. In my keen interest to invest in your country, I got your contact through South African Information Exchange here in Johannesburg, South Africa, and decided to write for your assistanace.
My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmenrs murdered in cold blood by the Killer Squard of the rulling government of President Robert Mugabe on the 12th of March, 2003 for his alleged support and sympathe for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by whites and this crisis and cold-blood murder reports were communicated to the whole world through BBC, CNN and even United Nations General Assembly meetings for heads of governments of member nations.
Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg where he deposited the sum of US$38,600,000 (THIRTY EIGHT MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ) with a security and finance company for safe keeping as if he foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the farm struggle in Zimbabwe. This money ws deposited in a box as a consignment labelled 'Family Teasure', with the security company. This was infored as not to allow the company management have the knowledge of the real content of the box for obvious safety reasons. This money was earmarked for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemical for the farms and the establishment of new farms-settlements in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land acts which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some objective blacks. This resulted to forceful ejection of whites from their lands, rampant killings , arson and mob actions by the war veteran and some political thugs. Precisely, more than one hundred and seven people have been killed and many others maimed for life in the past and up till July 2002, BBC,CNN have reported of more killings in the farm-land violence. Heads of government from the Western World, espiecially Britain and the United States of America have voiced their condemnation over Mugabe's obnoxious land acts.
The South African Development community (SADC) has continued to support Mugabe's new Land Reform Acts. It is against this background that I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer this money out of South Africa into a trust foreign account.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine forein account where this money could be transferred to, without the knowledge of Zimbabwean government who have tactivally frozen my family's weath, secondly, my mother Blessing Zuma is presently sick of Heart Disease and the need to fly her out for a medical operation is very important. But how can we fly without this fund. Presently, we are resideing temporarily in Johannesburg pending the out come of an appeal filed on our behalf by our attorney for the Depart of Home Affairs to grant us asylum status. At the moment we are in dilemma to the fiscal laws inhibiting south Africa Refugees on moneytary 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 purposes.
As a business man who I wish to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free as far as you keep it secret, the modatlities to this transfer is ready with the help of our family lawyer, a member of a Bank Board, a South African who by his help we finished all the arrangements the way this money should be transferred easily. But the problem we are facing is now to get an honest and responsible person that can keep this money safe and stand as beneficiary.
If you can sincerely assist us with the whole of your heart to transfer this fund into your nominated bank account, please, send a return mail to me or call me with above telephone number as quicly as possible, give me your confidential phone and fax numbers for more information.
Thanks as I am looking forward towards your urgent respond.
Best Regards
Mr Stanley Zuma.
