ATTN: SIR / MADAM
You may be surprised to receive what I write to you since you don't know me
personally. I came to you because of your wealth of experience in business
and your record of sincerity. I am Mrs. Evelyn Nyoni, wife of Dr. Fredrick
Nyoni who was recently murdered in the land dispute crisis in Zimbabwe. My
late husband was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in
cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of President Robert
Mugabe, for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition
party Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) controlled by the whites.
Before his death, my husband took me along in one of his many trips abroad,
to Johannesburg and deposited the sum of US$13M (Thirteen Million United
States Dollars) with a security and finance company as if he foresaw the
looming Danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited with the Security
Company on our arrival in Johannesburg to avoid its seizure and largely its
safety too. President Mugabe gave this money to my husband for investment
purpose while they were still in good terms. This land problem arose when
President Mugabe who according to my late husband was in desperate bid to
hold unto power for life, introduced a new land act, which wholly affected
the rich farmers who were mostly whites and some blacks eventually
vehemently condemned the method adopted by the veterans and some political
thugs.
Precisely, more than 31 (Thirty One) people have been killed and as I write
to you now, at least 50 whites and blacks families have fled the rising
violence in their farms in North West Zimbabwe and about 300 families had
fled from about 100-raided farmers. Some were flown out on light
aircraft to the Kariba Airport after mobs blocked several roads. Heads of
government from Western World, especially Britain and United States of
America have voiced their condemnation against Mugabe's new land reform act.
It is against this background that my husband and I moved the money into a
foreign country.
I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking an honest individual with
vast experience in business to help us safe guard and invest this money. I
am presently living in South Africa with my only surviving son Mr. Franklin
as asylum seeker and the financial law of the Republic of South Africa does
not allow asylum seekers certain financial rights.
In view of this, coupled with the way this money was acquired, I have
decided to invest this money anywhere else, but preferably outside Africa.
>From the above you will understand that my entire life and my family are in
danger.
25% of the total sum will be for you, 5% for expenses incurred during the
transaction, and then the remaining 70% will be for me and Franklin, which
you will help us to invest.
I will let you know the befitting condition of your help in this business
immediately I receive your response.
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Evelyn Nyoni
