Good Day,
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial as a matter of urgent, am desperately
looking for a foreign partner whom I can trust to handle some Investment. I am Mr. Martin Nkosi,
the son of late Mr. Felix Nkosi, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans.
I am writing from South Africa . I got your address from the Internet through the consultancy
directory during my search for a reliable and honest person to transact this business with. I write
to solicit for your special assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a
dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party-president Robert Mugabe. Because of land and farm land
crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly sponsored the war veterans and party members to
dispossess the land being occupied by white / black farmers.
This action has led to the killing of some members of opposition party including my Father (Felix
Nkosi). But before the death of my Father, He deposited the sum of US$25.5m (Twenty Five million
Five hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in my name, with the help of reputable security
company in South Africa with the intention of using it to open fertilizer manufacturing company
among other companies in our neighboring country (Swaziland) after my university education.
On the 29th of June 2006, the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF) ruling party trooped
into our compound and axed him (my Father) to death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my
Family, but we managed to escape to a neighboring country, South Africa as a political asylum
seeker (refugee) but our position in South Africa does not permit us to open an account or run any
huge financial business.
That is why I want this fund to be transferred into your private account so that you will assist us
to invest this money in your country. Hence, you agree to assist us, we will offer you 30% while
70% will be for our family investment in your country under your close supervision. I need your
urgent and confidential response.
Thanks and God Bless.
Best regards,
Mr. Martin Nkosi,
