Dear Friend,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
My name is MR.JACOB NGUBENI, the eldest son of LATE MR.FELIX NGUBENI of
Zimbabwe. I know that you might be surprise on how I got your contact
address. I got your address from South African Information Exchange in
Johannesburg. I know that this might sound strange but the spirit of God
directed me to you for this assistance.
During the current war against the Farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters of
our President Mr. Robert Mugabe to claim all the white and
black-owned farms who were in opposition to his Government, his party
members and his followers. Based on this misunderstanding, he ordered them
to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers. My
father being one of the best farmers in our country and didn’t support the
ideology of the Government because of the corrupt practices going on in the
Government was seen as an enemy. Because of my father’s position, the
supporters of the Government invaded my father's farm and burnt everything
in the farm, killing my father with some of the workers and made away with a
lot of items. After the death of my Father, my Stepmother, my younger
Sister, my younger Brother and I decided to leave Zimbabwe because our lives
were in danger with the money my father kept in his hidden safe in my step-
mother's house.
The amount contained in the safe is US$8.5m (Eight Million, Five Hundred
Thousand, United State Dollars) and we decided to move to the Republic of
South Africa where we deposited the money in a Security Company as family
valuables. So, I decided to contact you to ask for your assistance in
transferring this money out of South Africa, because we are asylum seekers
here in South Africa that disqualifies us from operating an account or
getting involved in any financial transaction here in South Africa.
Moreover, this money is the only thing my late Father left for us as such
the entire life of my family depends on this money coupled with the
responsibilities rested on me, I will be willing to go into partnership on
any lucrative business you will suggest in your country.
I want to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk-free and requires
mutual trust and absolute confidentiality.
Waiting for your positive response.
Thank you and May God bless you as you consider my request.
Best Regards,
JACOB NGUBENI.
