Subject: urgent letter
MR HENRY NGOSIN0 50 ATLANTIC AVENUE,PRESIDENTIAL PARK JOHANNESBURG,SOUTH AFRICA.Mobile ; 002773-4323-643 Attn Sir/madamYou
may be surprise to receive this message from me since you don't know me
in person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR HENRY NGOSI,
the son of late MR. MARK NGOSI, who was murdered in a land dispute in
ZIMBABWE. I got your contact during my search for reliable
& competent foreigner to handle a confidential financial
transaction, then I decided to write you. My late father was among the
few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent
of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged
support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party. Before the
death of my father, he took me to South Africa to deposit the sum of
Eighteen million Five hundred thousand US Dollars ($18.5m) with a
security and finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as a gem/precious stone to avoid much
demurrage from the security firm.This money was earmarked
for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and the
establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This land problem
arose when President R. MUGABE introduced a new land Act. Which wholly
affects the White rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned
the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government. This resulted to
rampant killing and mob actions. I and my family who are currently
staying in South Africa as a refugee or an asylum seeker have decided
to contact your as foreigner/beneficiary of the Trunk Cases containing
the Cash (USD18.5M) for further transfer of the money to a foreign
country where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of
claiming/investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of
encountering the same experience in future since both countries have
the same political history.Moreover, the South African monetary policy/law does not allow such investment hence I
am seeking for an asylum or refugee. I must let you know that this
business is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not
necessary matter. So if you are willing to assist us claim the
ownership of this money, I and my family have agreed to give you 20% of
the total money, 40% will be for a joint business venture I will be
doing with you and another 35% will be for me and my family which we
shall also invest in your country and the remaining 5% will be mapped
out for all expenses we may incurred during the transaction. Therefore,
if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance,
endeavor to reply through my email address I also need your private
phone and fax number for easy communication.Remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this business depends on how secret it is kept. Expecting your reply soonest. Best Regard. HENRY NGOSI. FOR THE FAMILY
