HARARE ZIMBABWE
LETTER OF ASSISTANCE
ATTENTION: Sir/Madam
You might be surprised to receive this mail letter from me since you don't
now me personally. I am Mrs. SARAH MOJOLA the wife of late Mr. Michael
MOJOLA who was murdered by the Zimbabwean war veterans and irate people. I
am writing this letter from Harare, Zimbabwe.
I got your contact address through interment in Sout h Africa, when I went
to South Africa to see my son JAMES. After due consideration of your
Profile, hence I decided to write to you. I write to solicit for your
special assistance to my family Shattered by a tyrannical government led by
a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party, President ROBERT MUGABE.
Because of land and farmland crisis in Zimbabwean the government secretly
sponsored the war Veterans and some irate party members to dispose the land
being occupied by the white farmers.
This action has led to killing of some members of opposition party including
my husband who did not support this ill-fated action. But before the death
of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he smuggled out the sum of
US$25.5 million dollars (Twenty five million five Hundred Thousand united
state dollars) to South Africa and deposited it in a private Security
Company With the intention of using it for the purchase of farm machinery
and chemicals for agricultural Purpose in South Africa and establishment of
a new farm in Swaziland.
This money was deposited with payment code No :XXT-QWE-JKH-2008 as a family
security code. as family valuables to avoid much demurrage in the Security
Company. On Monday 24th of March 2008 before the election started the war
veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF) ruling party trooped into our
compound and axed my husband to death and my second son of 25yrs. Since
then they have been terrorizing my son James but he managed to escape to
neighboring country South Africa as a political asylum seeker
(refugee).Mugabe burned the Media to publish any news as it will reflect bad
on him and also on the neighboring African countries especially South
Africa as it will be hosting the 2010 soccer world cup.
His position in South Africa does not permit him to open an account or to
operate any business. That is why I want this fund to be transferred in your
account so that you will assist him to invest the money in your country. If
you accept to assist us, all I want from you is to arrange and come down to
Johannesburg, South Africa so that you can help him to open a non-resident
bank account in your name, or in your company name which will aid us in
transferring the money into your nominating account overseas.
My family and I have two options for you, firstly, you can choose to have
certain percentage of the money for nominating your account in this
transaction or we can go into partnership with you for the proper profitable
investment of the money in your country whichever the option, fell free to
notify him. He will then furnish you with every detail you need to know.
We have also mapped out 5% of the total sum for any expenses that might be
incurred during the time of this transaction. If you do not prefer a
partnership, we are willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining
70% will remain for my family, if you are really capable and willing to
assist us please contact him with the below information immediately in South
Africa, please treat this matter as urgent as possible thanks for your
mutual co-operation. I am expecting your soonest and urgent response
