Subject: From Grace to Lynch: THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE IN GOOD FAITH
FROM: MRS GRACE NDLOVU
15 CWART CRESCENT,
NORTHWOLD, JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear Lynch,
You may be surprised to receive this mail from me since you don't know me in
person. But for the purpose of introduction, I am Mrs.Grace Ndlovu, the
wife of the late Mr.Richard Ndlovu who was murdered in a land
dispute in Zimbabwe last year by president Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe
loyallists in South African Region.
I got your contact information from the foreign contact data base in the
information centre here in Johannesburg, when I was searching for a reliable
individual or private company that can assist me to transfer this fund on
behalf of
my late husband, one son and two daughters. Well as a reliable and
trustworthy individual to deal with, I decided to write you. My husband was
among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by
the agent of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe for his
alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party that is against
Mugabes maltreatment of white farmers through his land reform act.
Before the death of my husband, he took my only son and me to South Africa
to deposit the sum of US$25 Million(TEWNTY FIVE Million UNITED STATE
DOLLARS) with a security and deposit company, as if he knew the looming
danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was concealed and deposited as family treasure and precious stone
to Avoid the security company from knowing that the real content of the box
is
Money. The money was earmarked for the purchase of machinery
and chemicals for my husband business. Problem arose when president
Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act, which did not favour the white rich
farmers and some black rich farmers including my late husband.
This resulted to rampart killing of farmers by Robert Mugabe's loyalists of
which my husband was one of the victims.
I and my son Jude are currently staying in South Africa as Asylum seekers,
planning to transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it,
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South
Africa
for fear of encountering the same experience in future because of
constant economic instability in Africa and more South African law does not
give
asylum seekers investment opportunity. This was why we decided to
contact you. I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and
the
nature of your business does not necessary matter.
So if you are willing to assist us to transfer this money out of South
Africa to your bank account where ever for investment, we have agreed
to give you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% for any expenses
that might occur from both sides in the course of this transaction, while
the
remaining 75% will be for my son investment, which you will assist him
to do abroad. Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the
needed assistance, please get in touch with me by my email to enable us
discuss further.
Remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this
business depend on how secret it is kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards.
Mrs.Grace Ndlovu
