FROM: MR.MARTIN MOYE.REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA.TEL: +27-83-695-4592.
martinmoye@mailbox.co.zaATTN: ,You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Mr. MARTIN MOYE, the first son of Mr.MKONI MOYE, who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$5 000 000 (five Million United States Dollars), in one of the private security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland.This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.
Intact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my fathers money to a foreign country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout South Africa. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign partner who can assist us transfer this money into his account overseas for our family investment.
All I seek for is an honest businessman, whom I can entrust my future and that of my family; I must also let you know that this transaction is 100%risk free.If you can accept to assist me and my family, kindly contact me on my telephone or fax number above. This money I intend to use for investment and growth in your country. I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me.I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might incur in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% will remain for me and my family. Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible; Im in dire need to leave this country soonest.Thanks for your mutual co-operation,Kind Regards,MR. MARTIN MOYE.(For the Family)
