Dear Sir/Madam,
Difficulties encountered has necessitated my search for a partner who will assist me.My name is Mrs.Vivian T. ZUMA,wife of late Mr.Frank ZUMA, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and irrate blackpeople.

I got your address from the internet through the consultancy directory during my search for a reliable and honest person to transact this business with and i write to solicit for your special assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF)ruling party-president Robert Mugabe.
Because of land and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe,our government secretly
sponsored the war veterans and some irrate party members to disposess the land being occupied by white farmers.This action has led to the killing of some members of opposition party including my husband(Frank ZUMA).
Before the death of my husband,he anticipated some dangers and so he deposited the sum of US$12m (twelve million United States Dollars) in the
name of our only son John ZUMA Jr,with the help of reputable security company in south Africa with the intention of using it to open fertilizer manufacturing company among other companies in our neighbouring country (Swaziland)after his university education.
On the 29th of June 2000,the war veterans and some supporters of(ZANU-PF)ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him(my husband)to death.Since then,they have been terrorizing my only son,John ZUMA Jr,but we managed to escape to the Netherlands from South Africa as a political
asylum seeker(refugee).But our position in the Netherlands does not permit us to open an account or run any huge financial business.

agreement that will protect our interest, Kindly include more information about yourself to enable me proceed with the necessary documents.
