Dear Sir/Madam

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not

know me personally. For the purpose of introduction, I am Mr. Kenneth

Mbagi, the son of Dr. Matelo Mbagi, a wealthy farmer/politician in

Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country.

I got your contact through the internet based on our urgent need for a

dependable and trustworthy foreign partner. Hence I decided to write

to you.

Before the death of my late father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to

deposit the sum total of US$20.5 million (Twenty million, Five Hundred

thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security

companies, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money

was deposited in two boxes as Family Treasures to avoid much demurrage

from the security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of

new machines and chemicals for the Farms and the establishment of new

farms in Swaziland.

The land problem, in our country came when our President Mr. Robert

Mugabe in a bid to win his re-election, introduced a new Land Act

Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black

farmers who are members of the opposition party. This resulted in

killings and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics

in the society. A lot of people have been killed because of this Land

reform Act for which my father was unfortunately one of the victims.

It is against this background that, I and my family fled Harare our

capital for fear of our lives and are currently staying in a remote

country side of Bulawayo. We are planning to leave the country and

seek political asylum in Europe and we have decided to move our family

wealth to Europe.

As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility

of seeking a genuine partner that could assist us without the

knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have

got, and the South African government seems to be playing along with

them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out

of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in

future, since both countries have similar political history.

I am now seeking for a partner whom I have to entrust my future and

that of my family in his/her hands. To this end, we need your

assistance to stand as the Beneficiary of the Consignments in Europe.

This is because we are under restricted movement and watch and hence

we want to be very careful in order not to lose this fund which we

have worked so hard for. I have a sufficient CONTACT person at the

Security Company in South Africa who can help us move this money to

Europe under DIPLOMATIC COVER to another Security Company in Europe

with your details as the Beneficiary. This is 100% legal and will not

pass through normal Customs/Airport Screening.

Thus, if you are willing to assist us to move this fund out of South

Africa, you can contact me through my email addresses, Tel no. above

with your telephone, fax number and personal information to enable us

discuss further details. I must let you know that this transaction is

risk free as far as we keep it as confidential as possible.

Thank you, many blessings to you.

Yours Faithfully,

Mr. Kenneth Mbagi.
