The Managing Director,
Compliment of the day,You may be surprise to receive this letter from
me since you don't know me personally. I am MR. John Sule the son of
Dr.Samuel
Sule who was recently murdered in the landispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact through Network on line in my search for a reliable
and
reputable
person to handle a very confidential transaction which involves a
transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you, my
late father 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 to Johannesbourg - South Africa to
deposit the sum of US$ 20.5 Million (Twenty Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) with a Bank as if he foresaw the
looming danger in m Zimbabwe.This money was embarked from
purchase of new machinery and chemical for farms and the establishment
of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new
land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few
blacks vehemently condemned the"modus operandi" adopted by the
government.This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war
veterans and some political thugs. precisely, More than thirty-one
(31) people have so far been killed.Heads of governments from the
west, especially Britain and United States of America have voiced
their condemnation of Mugabe'splan.
Subsequently, South African Development Community(S.A.D.C) has
continously supported Mugabe's new land act, it s against this
background that I and my family who are currently residing in South
Africa have decided to transfer my Father's money into a foreign
account.
As the eldest son of my Father, 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 African 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 we are
seeking for an "ASYLUM"
As a business person whom I entrusted my future and that of my family
into his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk
free and the nature of your business does notnecessarily matter.For
your assistance,we are offering you 30% of the total sum,60% for me
and my family while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses we may
incure during
the course of this transaction.We wish to invest ourpart of the money
on commercial property based on your advice.
Finally,all we demand from you is assurance that you will not sit on
this money when it finally gets to your personal or company's account
in your country.
Please reply to our family private email address:jon_sule@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
John Sule
