Dear Sir,
I am MR.FRED SIBAYA from Zimbabwe the first Son of MR JOHN SIBAYA, who was
murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe by the agents of the ruling
government of President ROBERT MUGABE, you must have heard his alleged
support and sympathy for the opposition MDC PARTY led by the minority white
farmers. My Father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered
in cold blood by the war veterans backed by the government.
Before the death of my Father, he deposited the sum of US$12M (Twelve
Million United State Dollars) With one of the security company in Southern
Africa, as if he knew the looming danger in ZIMBABWE. The money was
deposited as a gem and precious stones to avoid much attraction from the
security firm. The money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and
chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and
Swaziland before the regretted incident. This Land problem arose when
President Robert 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 rampart killing and
Mob actions.
My mother and I are staying in South Africa now as Asylum seekers, which
have not been beneficial to us; I have decided to transfer this money to a
foreign country where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of
investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the
same experience in future since both countries have the same political
policy and also law does not permit us to investment hence we're refugees.
I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free. I and my family
have agreed to give you 20% of the total US12M, 5% will be mapped out for
all expenses that maybe incurred during the transfer 5% for any charity
organization and 70% will be for me and my family's investment in your
country.
Therefore if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance,
endeavour to reply through fredsibaya@webmail.co.za for more brief
clarifications. I also need your private mobile, telephone and fax numbers
for easy communication. Remember; this is highly confidential and the
success of this business depends on how secret it is kept. Expecting your
reply soonest.
Best regards,
MR.FRED SIBAYA (FOR THE FAMILY)
