Attn:Chairman/Director.
Dear,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal, which I believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing a private research from the South African chambers of commerce and industry as a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family and I to transfer our family funds to your company or private account for investment purposes. I am Mr.Martin Nkosi the eldest son of Late Mr.Jabu Nkosi, who was the "Chairman" of the farmer’s co-operation in Zimbabwe.
My Father was among the few blacks that were murdered in cold blood by the President Robert Mugabe Administration during the land dispute that just happened in Zimbabwe. After the death of my Father, we decided to move out of Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger because of the money that my father kept in his hidden safe in our house. The amount contained in the safe is US$ 30 Million (Thirty Million United States Dollars).
This money was intended for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for our farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. Before his death, He is a major share holder in many companies in Zimbabwe. After my Father’s death we moved to South Africa and deposited this money in a security company in a box as valuables belonging to our foreign partner pending when we see somebody that will assist us transfer this funds to his personal or companies account oversea and for the safety of our lifes.
We are presently in South Africa as Refugee (Asylum Seekers) and as such the law of South Africa does not empower us to operate or open any bank account or be involved in any financial transaction.That is why we contacted you to assist us in this transaction.
We are ready to compensate you with 20% of the total fund for your assistance in getting this funds out of South Africa and 5% will be for any kind of expenses that both of us might incure in the cause of this transaction,While the remaining 75% will be for us to invest and settle with our life in your country.
I will be glad to hear from you so that i can clarify you on the modalities for the smooth and successful completion of this transaction.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Yours Truly,
Mr.Martin Nkosi.
(for the family)
