INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

May this not upset you! My name is Mrs Sikhumbuzo Nkala, wife of Late Mr.
Cain Nkala, Bulawayo war veteran, Matabeleland chairman of the Zimbabwe
National Liberation War Veterans' Association (ZNLWVA) and owner of large
Gold businesses.

On November 5th 2001, I witnessed the abduction of my husband whose body was
later found in a shallow grave near Botswana border.

Six Government opposition members of MDC were accused when the murder case
opened in Harare High Court few days later with 23 State witnesses
testifying added to me and my daughter Zenzele.This effort was later to be a
charade and deceit. It is over many year since this case started without no
result except twist, decour and ploy by the evil Government of ROBERT
MUGABE..

Infact reliable secret facts points to Mr Nkala colleagues in MUGABES
Government who have suddenly turned against the family with a fake probe on
his past activities and this MUGABES Government have seized all Mr Cain
Nkala's business, bank accounts and others,PRESIDENT MUGABE allege
improprieties and made life unbearable for me and the children us.

Their grudges remains that my late husband was against his evil and racists
treatment against the white farmers in Zimababwe.

Now Left is a family asset, in form of funds worth USD11Million, packed in
boxes and deposited to an overseas Company as PERSONAL EFFECT and this is
our last hope.

Presently I and my children are in exile at a tiny in the region, kingdom of
Swaziland since we were hoarded by the evil Governement of MUGABE, who is
still after our inheritances.Life so far has been very difficult because we
have no papers nor means of livlihood as immigrants here therefore now I
need you to represent me and my children, to reclaim the funds in question
since I cannot do
this myself.For no reason should the funds be put in our family name at any
bank for now, at least to void Government and other unforeseen enemies and I
want this to be conducted under secrecy until the funds is in your
possessions.

There is one and only person-A LAWYER - to participate on this and all
papers about the deposits is with him for you to take possession and manage
the funds for us.You will also help us to travel to your country for final
settlements after you receives the funds.

His contact email is all I can give you for now until you replies,contact
him on email. knzulu@justice.com

The funds has no records, it cannot be traces,it was made for the ruling
party convention prior General Election before the death of my husband
therefore no dangers nor risk on your side.The only danger is to prevent the
evil Governemnt of MUGABE, to trace us and seize the funds, I offer you 35%
of the total sum as first payment then we agree on what you will take to
manage our own share, as I want you to invested ours at overseas preferably
in your country.

To contact you is to believe you can do this business therefore I requests
you contact the lawyer but if you cannot participate do inform me so I make
another plans. As we are on exile we have suffered alot of humiliations and
deprivations and I want whatever efforts to be made quickly.

Please remember this is secret, no third should be involved and I look
forward to your good replies, give me your full Name, Address and Telephone
contacts, keep it private and may almighty guide you.

Best regards
Mrs. Sikhumbuzo Nkala
