Dear: Sir/Madam,
I am MR CHRISS OWEN the son of Mr of late Sir PETER OWEN, the Re-knowned
Zimbabwean wine and cattle farmer. I got your contact courtesy of South
Africa network-on-line at the South African chamber commerce.
During the war waged against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters and
cohorts of President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farmers in
our country, my late father's big farms were among those targeted by the
ZANU-PF armed group. *In the course of the revolution in ZANU-PF armed group
attacked and invaded my father's farm, burned, destroyed and eventually
killed him. After my father death last year, I managed to escape to South
Africa, because my life was threatened and Zimbebwe was no longer safe for
me to stay.
I escaped safely into South Africa with my father's lifetime fortune of
US$20m (Twenty Million, US Dollars) cash bonds documents, important
documents of property title and other valuables as he instructed to do
before he died. The money was concealed by my late father and secured in one
treasure box, transported through diplomatic means during the days of my
father as I was named next of kin to this fortune. The box is currently,
safely secured in the vaults of private security firm.
Presently, I am residing temporarily in Sourh Africa pending the outcome of
an appeal filed on my behalf by m attorney for the department of home
affairs to grant me a politial asylum. I am in a dilemma on how to moe this
money safely out of the security company for investments. Moreover due to
the South Africa government stringent monetary policies, regulations and the
senitive and volatile political status of the region, it would be most
dangerous to attempt investments here as such act could jeopardize my
chances.
In recognition of your personal executive powers and investment
opportunities that abound in your country, I solicit for your assistance in
moving this money out of South Africa, you will guide all my future
investment in your country and it will be operated on partnership level.
You will be getting 20% of the total investment capital moved to your
country, as your share for assistance in transferering this fund out of
South Africa and the balance will be plugged into the investment projects.
On the receipt of your indication of interest to go into co-operation with
me I open up discussion on the best ways to transfer this fund to your
country. Please treat this transaction as strictly confidential and contact
me with my family e mail as chriss.owen2@gmail.com.
Thanks fo your co-operation.
Yours Faithfully,
CHRISS OWEN(MR).
