Mrs. Justina Buthelezi
Nelson Mandela Avenue
South Africa.
Dear Alireza,
Please, kindly pardon me for any inconvenience this letter may cost you
because I know it may come to you as a surprise since we have no previous
correspondence.
I got your contact in my desperate need for assistance in your country, this
is why I decided to appeal to you directly for assistance because I have no
relations or friends in your country. I am Mrs. Justina Buthelezi from
Zimbabwe. I am a widow being that I lost my husband last year. My Husband
was a serving director of the Cocoa exporting board until his death. He was
assassinated last January by the rebels following the political uprising.
But before the death of my Husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited the sum of (US$18.5million United States Dollars) in the name of
our only son (George Buthelezi) with the help of reputable security company
in south Africa with the intention of using it to open Fertilizer
Manufacturing Company among other companies in our neighboring country
(Swaziland) after his university education.
On the 15th January 2005, the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF)
ruling party trooped into our compound and assassinates him (my husband)to
death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son (George Buthelezi)
,but he managed to escape to a neighboring country, South Africa as a
political asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does not
permit him to open an account or run any huge financial business.
I want you to assist me secure this fund and get it transferred into your
nominated account for a partnership investment with the family. For your
assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 20%
of the money for your assistance, and helping my family investing these
funds, or you can go into partnership business with the Family in an
agreement that would be drafted and signed together.
Upon your immediate response, I will immediately send to you all the
necessary information and the Banker/Advisor on whom I have entrusted the
handling of the transaction. I will also send to you all the relevant
depository documents with the security company.
Best regards.
Mrs.Justina Buthelezi.
