Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE
FROM:Bob Muze.

TO.PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR ,
You will be surprise to receive this letter since you don't know me personally, but do treat this request as a call from somebody in dire need of your kind assistance, but for the purpose of introduction.
I am Bob Muze the eldest son of Dr. Sipho Muze, who was recently murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe this year.ln my keen interest to invest in your country, I got your contact through South African Information Exchange(S.A.I.E)here in Johannesburg, South Africa and decided to write for an assistance.
My late father was among the few black-Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the KILLER-SQUAD of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe on the 12th of march,2001 for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean Opposition party controlled by the whites.This crisis and cold-blood-murder reports were communicated to the whole world through BBC, CNN, and even the UNITED NATIONS general assembly meetings for heads of Governments, of member nations.
Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$19.2 Million(Nineteen million two 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 was deposited in a box as a consignment labelled "FAMILY TREASURE" with the Security Company.
This frame of mind was informed as not to allow the company management have the knowledge of the real content of the box for obvious security reasons. This money was earmarked for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemicals 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 vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the Government. 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(107)people have been killed and many others maimed for life in the past, and up till this March, BBC and CNN have reported of more killings in the farm-land violence.
Heads of government from the Western World, especially Britain and the United States of America have voiced their condemnation over Mugabe's obnoxious land acts.
Subsequently the Southern African Development Communit (S.A.D.I.C)has continuously supported 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 trusted foreign account.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of Zimbabwean Government who have
tactically frozen my family's wealth.Secondly,my mother is presently sick of "HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE" and the need for a constant medical check up is important.
Presently, l am residing temporarily in Johannesburg pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my behalf by my attorney for the Department of Home Affairs to grant me asylum status.At the moment l am in dilema on how to move this money safely out of South Africa due to the fiscal laws inhibiting South African Refugees on monetary policy.l request that you grant me the consent to present you and your
company as the beneficiary of the Consignment{box of money} ,so that l can be able to transfer the money to your nominated account outside South Africa for investment purpose.
As a business man whom I wish to entrust my future and that of my family on his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free as far as you keep it secret and modalities to effect this transfer is ready with the help of our family lawyer,a
member of a Bank-board, a South African and my late father's friend that helped him in depositing this money in the said security company as a consignment.
Therefore if this proposal is acceptable to you, we are willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 75%will be for me and my family while 5% will be used for capital transfer tax based on South African Banking stipulations and any other expences that might be incurred in the course of this transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please contact me on the above email address and forward your reply as soon as possible bearing in mind the confidentiality and privacy this transaction requires at the moment due to the security network of Interpol,FBI and other international security operatives the world over.
Best Regards,
Bob Muze ( for the family )
