From: "brown moyo" <brownmoyo03@gmail.com>
Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2008 04:02:25 -0700
Subject: PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM: BROWN MOYO.
TEL: 27-83-358-2551.
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.
ATTN: Director/ Ceo
I got your contact address through South African information and exchange
(S.A.I.E), while searching for a safe and accommodative country to invest, I
contact you based on the need of foreign beneficiary and excellence in
business which assured me of your capability and reliability to invest in
your country.
Before I proceed, I will like to introduce myself, I am BROWN MOYO the son
of late MR. EDWARD MOYO who was murdered in a land dispute in Zimbabwe.My
late fathe was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold
blood by the ruling government of PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged
support on the sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party. Before the death of
my father, he took me to South Africa to deposit the sum of
US$25.5M.(TWENTY-FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR)
with a Security And Finance Company, as if he knows the looming danger in
Zimbabwe.
The fund was deposited as precious stone to avoid much demurrage from
Security firm. This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery's
and chemicals for the farm and establishment of new farm in Lesotho and
Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land
act, which wholly effect the white rich farmers and some few blacks,
vehemently condemned the "MODUS OPERATION" adopted by the government. This
resulted killing and mob action. I and my family who were presently staying
in South Africa as a refugee or asylum seekers have decided to transfer this
money to a foreign country to where we can invest it.
I am now faced with the delimma of investing this amount of money in South
Africa for fear ofencountering the same experience in future since both
countries have the same political history. Moreover, the South African
monitory policy/law does not allow such investment hence I'm seeking for
asylum. I must let you know that this business is hundred percent risks free
and nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
Therefore, if you are willing to assist us, my family and I have agreed to
give you 20% of the totalmoney while 5% will be mapped out for the expenses
we might incuer during this transaction, then 75% will be for investment in
your country.
I also need your private telephone and fax numbers for esier Communication,
remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this
transaction depends on how secret is been kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards,
BROWN MOYO.
(For the family)
