Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
You may be surprise to receive this letter from
me,since you dont know me personally,I am peterson
mubah. The son of Dr Smith mubah, Who was recently
murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact as i was searching for a reliable
and reputable person to handle a very confidential
business which involve a transfer of fund to a foreign
account and i decided to write you. My late father was
among the few black Zimbabwean opposition party rich
farmers murdered by the agents of the ruling
Government of president Robert mugabe,for his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition
party controlled by the white minority,
Before my father death,he had taken to johannesburg
and deposited the sum of Fifteen million united state
dollars (US$I5,000,000)with a security and financial
company,The money right now is in SPAIN(EUROPE),
as if he forseen the looming danger in zimbabwe. The
money was deposited in a box as valuable items to
avoid over taxed custom clearance.
This money was allocated for the purchase of new
machinery and chemical product for Agro-allied farms
and for establishment of new farms in lesotho and
swaziland.This land problems arose when president
Robert mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly
affected the rich white farmers and some blacks
vehemently condemned the "modus operandi"adopted by
the government.
This result to rampant killings and mob action by the
war veterans and some political Thugs,precisely more
than three thousand( 3,000)people have so far been
killed.Heads of government from the west, especially
Britain and united states have voice their
condemnation of Mugabe's plans.Subsequently, south
Africa have development community(S.A.D.C)has
continousy supported mugabe's new land act, it is
against this background that my entire family who are
currently residing in South Africa have
decided to ! transfer my father's wealth and south
Africa's government seems to be playing along with
them.I am face with the dilemma of investing this
money in south Afica for fear of encountering the same
experience in the future, since both countries have
almost the same political history.
Moreso,the south African foreign exchange policy does
not allow such investment,Hence i am seeking
for(political asylum) AS a business person whom i
entrusted my future and that of my family into his
hands, i must let you know that this transaction is
100% risk free and the nature of your business does
not necessarily matter.
For your assistance we are offering you 20% of the sum
,70% for me and my family,while 10% will be mapped out
for any expenses that we may incurre during this
transaction.We wish to invest our money on commecial
properties based on your advice. Finally, i will
demand for assurance that you will not sit on the
money when it gets to your personally account or comp!
any account in your country, If this proposal is
accepted please confirm your interest by sending this
above to
petersonmubah@gawab.com Thanks.
Best Of Regards,
God Bless You,
peterson mubah.
