Subject: Mrs Alh Mamanbelo
Good Day,
My name is Mrs. Alh Mamanbelo and my son痴 name is Kolo Mamanbelo. I am a refugee from Zimbabwe presently residing in Johannesburg South Africa . I am contacting you on behalf of the Mamanbelo family with a great sense of loss having just finished a customary period of mourning for my late
husband, Mr.Wade Mamanbelo. Thank you for your attention, I must apologize firstly for contacting you by this medium because I had no other option. I am prepared to offer you a substantial amount of money for you to assist my family in this venture.
My late husband, Mr. Wade Mamanbelo was a very rich Zimbabwean farmer who was murdered in his farm in the year 2002 by the War veterans who took over his farm due to his position as Administrative secretary of the Matabelel and Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), the main opposition party in my
country Zimbabwe kicking against the wicked acts of Mr. Robert Mugabe, the incumbent president against the White farmers. As you may be aware, Robert Mugabe introduced new land reforms, which was particularly not favourable for the rich white farmers and few black farmers (my Husband inclusive).
After his death, I had to flee with my son and daughter to South Africa because we were secretly informed of his plans to kill us.
Before his death, my husband had sold off his farming equipments and was preparing to re-locate to neighbouring Botswana where he was negotiating another expanse of land to set up another farm, but due to the tip-off he had received about his farm being up for seizure, he had diverted the proceeds
of sale of his equipments and other monies to tune of US$9,000,000 (Nine million Dollars) into vault company in South Africa. He also gave us the transaction codes for the deposit and specifically instructed that we should contact a foreigner who will take delivery of the deposit once we have
given out the transaction codes. As you may be aware, South Africa law prohibits asylum seekers from operating bank accounts or any involvement in financial transactions of any kind. All I need is your trustworthiness to be able to entrust the above said amount and help me with investment
opportunities.
I am contacting you with my only son- Kolo, who is 30 years old and the next of kin to his father痴 estate. I am gravely sick with Breast Cancer and require your honest assistance as I am preparing to travel to U.A.E to continually seek medical treatment. This explains the reason for my
contact to you. Please do not be surprised at this correspondence because my ill health has required me to seek your services urgently because I do not know how much longer I can live.(I got your address from my late husbands diary I found )
If this correspondence touches your conscience, please feel free to contact me or my son Kolo on these email addresses: kolo_mamanbelo@hotmail.com or alh_mamanbelo@hotmail.fr providing your telephone and fax number. He is in London at the moment and in a good position to give you further
information regarding the transaction as the next of kin. The funds are not of illegal origin, it is not being traced or investigated, it is not stolen money, it is money that my husband made as a farmer and from selling his farm properties and I assure you there is no risk involved for you, and
I have all the paper- work from the sales of the properties. Your assistance will guarantee you at least 30% of this money. Please do not ignore this correspondence and treat with utmost confidentiality due to the volume of money involved.
I aiwat your urgent reply.
Sincerely Yours,
Mrs Alh Mamanbelo
