Subject: FROM: MR. Peter Ngoma.
FROM: MR. Peter Ngoma.
26 HILLS TREET, RANDBURG,
JOHANNESBURG, S/AFRICA
Dear: Sir/ Madam
I Am Quite Sure That This Mail Will Surprise You Since I Have Not Been
Having Previous Correspondences With You. You may be surprised to receive
this message from me since you don’t know me in person, but for the purpose
of introduction, I am MR. Peter Ngoma.The Son of the late Jonna Ngoma, who
was murdered in a land
dispute in Zimbabwe.
The SOUTH AFRICA EXCHANGE NETWORK ONLINE here gave your contact to me in
Johannesburg as a reliable and trustworthy to deal with, then I decided to
Contact you. My Father was among the few rich Black Zimbabwean farmers who
were murdered by the agents of the ruling government of President ROBERT
MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition
party. Before the death of my father, he took me to South Africa to deposit
a sum of US$7.3 Million (Seven Million three hundred thousand United States
Dollars) with a security and finance company, as if he knew the looming
danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited as Gem/Precious Stones to avoid much demurrage from
the security firm. This money was ear marked for the purchase of machinery
and chemicals for the farms and also for the establishment of new farms in
Swaziland and Lesotho. The land problem arose when President Mugabe
introduced the new land Act that wholly affects the rich white farmers and
some few blackvehemently condemned the ‘MODU OPERANDI’ adopted by the
Government. This resulted in rampant killing and mob actions.
My family and I are currently staying here in South Africa as refugees or
asylum seekers and have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country
where we can invest it. I am faced with a dilemma of investing this money
here in South Africa with the fear of encountering the same problems in the
future because Zimbabwe and South Africa share the same political history
...Moreover, the South African monetary policies do not allow asylum Seekers
to do any investment. I want to let you know that this business is 100%risk
free. So if you are willing to assist us, my family and I have agreed to
offer you 20% of the total money. 75% will be for us, while the remaining 5%
will be mapped out for all expenses we may incur during this transaction.
Therefore, if you are interested and willing to offer the needed assistance
endeavor to reply through my email. I also need your private Tel/Fax numbers
for easy communication. Remember to keep this business confidential.
Kindly reply me using this Email Address peterngoma1@myway.com
Thanks.
Yours true
MR. Peter Ngoma
(For The Family)
