Dear,
Complement of the season. My name is Mr.Kenneth Loko from the republic of Zimbabwe,the first son of Chief Loko Moses.It might be a surprise to you as to how I got your contact,I got your contact from the South African Chamber of commerce in Johannesburg.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe, from the support of President Robert Mugabe, in his effort to chase the white farmers out of the country, He ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers. My father was one of the best and successful farmers in our country then,and formerly the finance minister of Robert Mugade's administration,but he did not support the idea of dispossessing the white farmers of their land. Because of this,his farm was invaded and burnt by Government supporters.
In the course of the attack,my father was killed,and the invaders made away with a lot of items from my father's farm and our family house was totally destroyed.My mother almost passed away after a heart attack.
Before the death of my father, he drew my attention to the sum of Us $21 Million United States Dolars,which he had deposited with a security company in South Africa during his tenure as the Finance minister of Zimbabwe.
My Mother,My sister and I decided to move to South Africa for our own security, for our lives were in danger.The contents of the consignment were stored as important personal valuable by my father using his diplomatic immunity then.
I decided to contact you (your firm) to assist me in moving the money out of South Africa.This became necessary after we were denied any right to run bank accounts or any other form of financial transaction for we are political asylum seekers in South Africa.We propose that you shall receive 20% of the entire amount for your assistance in moving the money out.75% of
this money goes to us (My Mother,My sister and I)The remaining 5% shall be used to cover expenses incurred in the course of the transaction.
Iwant immediate confirmation of your interest via my personal phone. As soon as I get your respond I shall give out more details on how we shall proceed.Note that this trransaction is 100% risk free.Call me or email me as soon as you receive this mail to confirm the receipt of it and for more
directives on the way forward to the smooth transfer of the money out of South Africa to your nominated bank account in your country.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards.
Kenneth Loko
