Subject: DEAR SIR
DEAR SIR,
IT IS A GREAT PLEASURE FOR ME TO CONTACT YOU BUT FIRST LET ME START BY
INTRODUCING MYSELF. I AM THE SON OF CHIEF EMMANUEL JUMA, A MEMBER OF THE
MOVEMENT FOR POLITICAL CHANGE IN ZIMBABWE WHICH IS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT AND
HIS POLITICAL PARTY CALLED ZANU PF.
IT HAPPENS THAT HE BECAME A PARTNER WITH A WHITE MAN IN BUSINESS WHO IS ONE
OF THE LEADERS OF THEIR MOVEMENT, THROUGH HIM HE BROUGHT HIS IDEAS AND
PHILOSOPHY THAT THEY NEED TO ERADICATE THE IDEA OF RACISM AND TORTURE
TOWARDS THE WHITE BY THE PRESENT PRESIDENT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MINORITY IN
ZIMBABWE (SOUTH AFRICA)
BECAUSE OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR PARTY FOR DEMOCRATIC CHANGE THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY BROUGHT THEIR WICKED IDEAS TOWARDS US. THEY STARTED
CONFISCATING OUR PROPERTIES ,OUR FARM LANDS AND EVEN OUR COMPANY WHICH MY
FATHER IS A PARTNER WITH A WHITE MAN BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT AND HIS ALLIES
HAS BEEN DOING THAT TO OTHER WHITE FARMERS.
DURING THIS PROCESS HE WAS ARRESTED WITH HIS PARTNER. HOWEVER ACCORDING TO
THE INSTRUCTIONS MY FATHER GAVE ME TO SELL THE REMAINDER OF HIS ASSETS, I AS
THE SON WAS ABLE TO SELL HIS REMAINING ASSETS WHICH I REALISED
US$18,525,000.00 AND DEPOSITED THIS FUND WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN CAPE
TOWN WITH THE HELP OF OUR FAMILY FRIEND IN SOUTH AFRICA AND WAS SEND BY THE
COMPANY TO GREECE
BUT AS OF NOW I AM IN GREECE AND THE REASON WHY I AM SOLICITING FOR YOUR
ASSISTANCE IS THAT EVER SINCE I CAME HERE TO GREECE, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
CLEAR THE CONSIGNMENT FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY TO DEPOSIT THE FUND IN THE
BANK BECAUSE I AM STAYING HERE AS A REFUGEE IN GREECE.
ALL I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO COME TRAVEL DOWN TO ATHENS SO THAT YOU CAN OPEN A
NON-RESIDENTIAL ACCOUNT FOR US TO DEPOSIT THE MONEY AND TRANSFER THE FUND
FROM HERE TO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT SO THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO RELOCATE
THE REST OF OUR FAMILY AWAY FROM ZIMBABWE AND USE THE REST MONEY FOR ONWARD
INVESTMENT.
SIR, WITH YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE I AM READY TO GIVE YOU 20% FROM THE TOTAL
SUM OF MONEY AND ALSO I HAVE MAP OUT 5% FOR EXPENSES WHICH BOTH PARTIES
MIGHT INCUR DURING THIS TRANSACTION.
I ASSURE YOU THAT THIS ASSISTANCE AND HELP IS 100% RISK FREE AND THIS WON'T
JEOPARDIZE THE INTEREST OF YOU AND YOUR COMPANY NEITHER MY FAMILY. PLEASE I
WANT YOU TO KEEP IT CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT OF
ZIMBABWE DID NOT KNOW THAT I AM IN GREECE OR WE EVEN HAVE OTHER ASSETS THAT
I WAS ABLE SELL TO REALISE THE FUND.
I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU THROUGH E-MAIL BECAUSE I WANT IT TO BE PRIVATE AND
ALSO I AM WAITING YOUR REPLY THROUGH THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS SO THAT I CAN NOW
GIVE YOU DETAILS AND UPDATES.
HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND GOD BLESS YOU.
MR GEORGE JUMA
