DEAR SIR/MADAM,
I KNOW THAT MY MESSAGE WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE
SINCE YOU DO NOT KNOW ME, BUT I AM HOPING THAT YOU
MIGHT CONSIDER ASSISTING ME AFTER HEARING ABOUT MY
SITUATION.
I AM MALABE BUNDU, A CITIZEN OF ZIMBABWE AND THE
SURVIVING CHILD OF LATE MR AND MRS MAPUTO BUNDU. MY
FATHER WAS A FARMING MERCHANT BASED IN ZIMBABWE, WHO
HAD VERY GOOD BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WHITE
FARMERS IN ZIMBABWE. FOLLOWING THE DECISION TAKING BY
THE GOVERMENT OF PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE 4 YEARS AGO
TO SEIZE ALL WHITE OWNED FARM LANDS AND INVESTMENTS IN
THE COUNTRY, FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDISTRIBUTION, HE SAW
EVERY BLACK BUSINESS MAN WHO SYMPATHIZED OR CONTINUED
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE WHITE FARMERS AS A
TRAITOR, AND A THREAT TO HIS POLITICAL POSITION. FOR
THAT REASON MY FATHER WAS KILLED IN A MYSTRIOUS
CIRCUMSTANCE, BUT WHICH ALMOST EVERYBODY SUSPECTED TO
A POLITICAL MURDER. WHEN THE PRESDIENT’S THUGS FATALLY
ATTACKED MY IMMEDIATE ELDER BROTHER, THERE WAS NO MORE
DOUBT.
HOWEVER BEFORE THE DEATH OF OUR FATHER ON 29TH JUNE
2004. HE CONFIDED IN MY BROTHER AND I ABOUT SOME
AMOUNT OF MONEY, WHICH HE HAS MANAGED TO SAVE OUTSIDE
OF THE COUNTRY. BUT TO WHICH HE ADVISED US TO KEEP A
SECRET ESPECIALLY FROM THOSE IN THE COUNTRY AS THAT
COULD ONLY COST US OUR LIVES, HE TOLD US THAT HE HAD
BEEN ABLE TO SAVE THE SUM OF US$ 5,540,000(FIVE
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED AND FOURTY THOUSAND, UNITED
STATES DOLLARS) IN A STORAGE FIRM IN EUROPE. MY
BROTHER AND I WERE NOMINATED AS NEXT OF KIN.
HE HOPED THAT WE COULD BE ABLE TO MIGRATE OUT OF THIS
COUNTRY. BUT UNFORTUNATELY BEFORE THIS COULD BE
FINANLIZED, HE WAS KILLED.
BEFORE MY BROTHER DIED AT THE HOSPITAL, HE
SPECIFICALLY ADVISED ME TO ESCAPE FROM THE COUNTRY,
AND THAT I SHOULD SEEK FOR A FOREIGN PARTNER IN A
COUNTRY OF MY CHOICE WHERE I WILL TRANSFER THIS MONEY
AND USE IT FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND PROPERLY START
A NEW LIFE ESPCIALLY TO CONTINUE WITH MY EDUCATION. AT
THIS MOMENT I AM HIDING IN A PLACE I CANNOT AFFORD TO
INFORM YOU AT THIS POINT, BUT I CANNOT BE REACHED
ON THE PHONE YET TILL I GET TO A SAFER PLACE. THE
INFORMATION I GATHER TELLS ME THAT OUR FAMILY HOUSE IS
CONSTANTLY UNDER SURVAILLANCE IN HARARE (ZIMBABWE).

SIR, I AM RESPECTFULLY SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE IF YOU
CAN BE OF HELP TO ME IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS. ASSISTING
ME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE STORAGE FIRM WHERE THE
FUNDS ARE KEPT BUT A LAWYER HAVE TO OBTAIN SOME
DOCUMENTATIONS NEEDED ON YOUR NAME AS THE NEXT OF KIN
TO MY FAMILY, BASED ON THE INFORMATION I HAVE BEEN
GIVEN, THEY COULD IDENTIFY THE STORAGE FIRM IN
QUESTION. I WILL TELL THEM THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
APPOINTED BY THE FAMILY TO MAKE A CLAIM FOR THE FUNDS
AND THAT THEY SHOULD TRANSFER THE FUNDS TO YOU ON OUR
BEHALF. I AM JUST 25YRS OF AGE, I HAVE NOT EVEN
COMPLETED MY EDUCATION. I DO NOT HAVE MUCH EXPEREINCE
IN THINGS LIKE THIS BUT I KNOW THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO
TRUST ANYBODY AROUND ME NOW. I COULD RATHER TRUST A
STRANGER WHO MAY FIND IT IN HIS HEART TO BE KIND TO ME
AND HELP, THAN THOSE OLD FRIENDS OF MY DAD, WHO SEE ME
AS A RISK TO THEIR OWN FAMILY IF THEY SHOULD OFFER
HELP TO ME. SO I AM ON MY OWN NOW AS IT IS. I NEED
YOUR ASSISTANCE IF YOU CAN GIVE IT.
I WILL WANT YOU TO HELP ME RECIEVE THE FUNDS FROM THE
STORAGE FIRM. I WILL WANT YOU TO HELP ME TO COME OVER
TO YOUR COUNTRY AND SHOW ME THINGS I CAN INVEST IN
ONCE THE FUND GETS TO YOU. I WILL ALSO LIKE TO
CONTINUE WITH MY EDUCATION AS WELL.
WHATEVER YOU WILL WANT TO GET FOR THIS SERVICES I WILL
BE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE WITH YOU. I JUST NEED SOMEBODY
TO TRUST, AS I HAVE BEEN DISSAPOINTED BY THOSE I
THOUGHT COULD HELP. SIR IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE RESPOND
TO ME VIA MY E-MAIL ADDRESS,
(malabebundu25@personal.ro). THEN I WILL GIVE YOU MY
CONTACT DETAILS. BUT IF YOU CANNOT I
WILL UNDERSTAND.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS U AND YOU’RE FAMILY.
SINCERELY,
MALABE BUNDU.
