ATTN: MANAGING DIRECTOR / CEO
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 Mrs. Doris Martins, wife of the late Francis Martins, who was murdered in a land dispute in Zimbabwe.The SOUTH AFRICA EXCHANGE NETWORK ONLINE here gave your contact to me in Johannesburg as a reliable and trustworthy to deal with, then I decided to contact you. My husband was among the few rich Black Zimbabwean farmers who were murdered by the agents of the ruling government of president ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party.Before the death of my husband he took me to South Africa to deposit a sum of US$ 32 Million (Thirty Two Million United States Dollars) with a security and finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as Gem/Precious Stones to avoid much demurrage from the security firm. This money was earmarked for the purchase of machinery and
chemicals for the farms and also for the establishment of new farms in Swaziland and Lesotho.The land problem arose when president Mugabe introduced the new land Act that wholly affects the rich white farmers and some few black vehemently condemned the MODUS OPERANDI adopted by the Government. This resulted in rampant killing and mob actions.My family and I are currently staying here in South Africa as refugees or asylum seekers and have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it. I am faced with a dilemma of investing this money here in South Africa with the fear of encountering the same problems in the future because Zimbabwe and South Africa share the same political history. Moreover, the South African monetary policies do not allow asylum seekers to do any investment.I want to let you know that this business is 100% risk free. So if you are willing to assist us, my family and I have agreed to offer you 20% of the total money. 75% will be
for us, while the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all expenses we may incur during this transaction.Therefore, if you are interested and willing to offer the needed assistance endeavor to reply through my email or the telephone number I have given above. I also need your private Tel/Fax numbers for easy communication. Remember to keep this business confidential.
Yours truly,
MRS. DORIS MARTINS
