I am the son of late MR JAMES JEAN, who was murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE. I got your contact during my search for reliable and competent foreigner to handle a confidential financial transaction , then I decided to write you. My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party. Before the death of my father Deposited the total amount of US$8.2million (Eight million two hundred thousand United States Dollars) With ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA as if he knew that danger was looming in Zimbabwe. 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. This land problem arose when President R.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 in rampant killing and mob actions. My family and I fled to South Africa and we are presently living here as Asylum Seekers. The South African Law does not allow Asylum Seekers certain financial rights including the right to open a Bank account, hence the decision of my family is to contact you and ask for your assistance to transfer the money usd 8.2million, I faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money into Real Estate Property out side South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have the same political history. Moreover, the South African monetary policy/law does not allow such investment for people with Asylum or Refugee status.
