Subject: URGENT REPLY
FROM: ANTHONY WEMBA.
DEAR SIR/MADAM,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don't know me
in person, but for the purpose of introduction,
I am MR.ANTHONY WEMBA, a citizen of Zimbabwe, the son of late MR.ZAK WEMBA,
who was murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE.
I got your contact through the Thailand Information Exchange Online, then I
decided to write you.
My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in
cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE
for his alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party. Before
the death of my father, he deposited the sum of Fifteen Million US Dollars
($15M) with a security company during when he went to Thailand to purchase
his farm machinery equipment, as if he foresaw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as a gem / precious stone to avoid seizure
and much demurrage from the security company organization. This money was
earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and
the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President R. MUGABE introduced a new land Act.
which wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently
condemned the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government. This resulted to
rampant killing and mob actions. I and my family who are currently staying
in EUROPE as a refugee or an asylum seeker have decided to transfer this
money to a foreign country where we can invest it. You will read more
stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting. This web sites:
http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in EUROPE and
the financial law and Regulations Here do not permit us financial rights to
such huge sum of money. In view of this, I cannot invest the fund here,
Moreover, the monetary policy/law Here does not allow such investment by
an asylum seeker or refugee.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature
of your business does not necessarily matter. So if you are willing to
assist us, I and my family have agreed to give you 20% of the total money,
40% will be for a joint business venture I will be doing with you and
another 40% will be for me and my family which we shall also be invest in
your country.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed
assistance, endeavor to contact me through email. I also need your private
phone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this business
depends on how secret it is kept. Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards.
Anthony Wemba(for the family).
