Subject: Investment Assistance
Mr. William Ncube
Tel: +27 739764876
Dear Sir,
It is my humble pleasure to write this letter irrespective of the fact that you do not know me personaly.However, I came to know of you in my private search for a reliable and trustworthy person that can handle a confidential transaction of this nature in respect to my investment plans in a lucrative business. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day.
Firstly, I must introduce myself, am Mr. William Ncube, the only son of Mr.Welshan Ncube from Republic of Zimbabwe. My late father was formally the Secretary-General and of the famous political movement in my country Zimbabwe called Movement For Democratic Changes (MDC). As a political leader, he has a great ambition to contest for higher political position and due to the political and economic malpractices by the present government of Robert Mugabe, My father and ten other top members of the party protested against the ruling party and opposed their governance.
It was on the early morning of 24 June 2002 , my father and some other members of their group was murdered in a cold blood by some militants royal to president Mugabe, inorder to stop the opposition movement. But before the death of my father, he deposited a consignment with worth US$8.5 Million( Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a private security and finance company here in South Africa. This fund was meant for running of his next political post. As his only surviving son I flee to South Africa where am presently to seek for political asylum, because there is danger that I might be the next target. I am presently on political asylum in South Africa.
I therefore appeal to you to assist me in securing and transferring of this fund to your private or companies account over there for good investment into a lucrative business, because I have no knowledge of investment before and I will not like to invest here in South Africa because it shares the same political ideologies with my country.
As soon as you accept my offer, I will offer you 25% of the total fund and all the documents regarding the fund will be available to you.
Thanks and best Regards.
Yours Faithfully.
Mr. William Ncube
