Subject: Can I trust You on This Mutual Business Assistance

Good day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don't know me
personally. I am Mrs.Rebecca .Walaza, the wife of Mr Moyo Walaza who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact
through South African Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) in Johannesburg, and
I decided to solicit for your assistance. 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 controlled by the white
minority.
Before his death he had taken me to Johannesburg South Africa to deposit the
sum of US$22 (Twenty Two Million United States Dollars) with a Security and
Finance Company as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money
was deposited in a metal box and declare as a personal effects for the use
of some of his friends who were to arrive for the world summit on
sustainable development scheduled to hold in South Africa from 26th of
August,2002.This money was given to my husband by President Robert Mugabe
himself, for investment in South Africa when they were in good terms.
The dispute between my husband and the President arose when the President
introduced a new land reform-act, which adversely affected the rich white
farmers and some black farmers as well. My husband was vehemently opposed to
the "modus operandis"adopted by the government and publicly opposed it. This
brought him in direct conflict with the president.
To achieve his purpose, the president used war veterans to plunder, loot and
occupy all farms belonging to the white farmers and their black
sympathizers. More than Fifty Farmers has lost their lives so far.
Heads of governments from the west, especially Britain and United States of
America have voiced there condemnation of Mugabe's plan. Subsequently, South
African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously Supported Mugabe's
new land act, it is against this background that I and my two children who
are currently Residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my husband's
money into a foreign account.
As a mother of two children, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking
a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the
knowledge of my Government who are tactically freezing our family Wealth and
South Africa's government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced
with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for fear of
encountering the same experience in future since both Countries have almost
the same political history.
More so, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment hence I am seeking for an "asylum". As a business person that I
entrusted my Future and that of my children 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 15% of
the total sum, 80% for me and my children While 5% will be mapped out for
any expenses we may incurs during this transaction. We wish to invest our
Money on commercial property based on your advice.
Finally, i will demand for assurance that you will not sit on this money
when it finally gets to your personal or company's account in your country.
If this proposal is acceptable with you, please confirm your interest by
immediate reply. Please send your reply to this e-mail address;
rebeccawalaza@yahoo.com
Best Regards.
Mrs.Rebecca Walaza
