Winston Shabangu

Good Day,

With warm hearts I offer my friendship  and  greetings, and I hope
this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to
receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. 
However,I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity.

My name is Winston Shabangu, the son of Zhiri  Shabangu  a farmer
from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by
my instinct, I decided to contact you through email, after searching 
for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact
anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for now. I
apologize if this is not acceptable to you.
The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a
business venture. Due to the land and political problems in
Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new
Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few
rich black farmers, all white farmers were asked to surrender their farms to 

the government for re-distribution and infact  to his political party members 
and my father though black was the treasury of the farmers association and
 a strong member of an opposition party that did  not support the president's 
idea. He then ordered his party members and the police under his pay row to
invade my father's farm and burn down everything in the farm. They 
killed my father and took away a lot of items from his farm.
After the death of my father, our local pastor and a close friend of my
father handed us over will documents with instructions from my father that we

should leave Zimbabwe incase anything happen to him. The will documents has a

certificate of deposit, confirming a cash deposit  totaling twelve 
million five hundred  thousand united state dollars. [12.5m] Kept
in custody for us in a security company unknown to the company that the
content is money hence it was deposited as personal belongings.
This money was deposited with this Private Security Company for
safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase
of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in 
Botswana.
This violent and barbaric act by Mugabe has since led to the death of
my beloved mother and kid sister and other innocent lives.
I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father
after he was murdered. I resisted for a while, but when the danger
became unbearable,  I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe
with the help of my father's close friend Mr. John Casahans from
Australia also a farmer who was leaving in Zimbabwe with us but left
with his family following this ugly development I have tried to reach 
him but all to no avail.
I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political
asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because
the security company from South Africa, has a branch here in the Netherland, I 
have contacted them to move the safe deposit from their office in Harare
Zimbabwe down here in Holland, which they have since done.I need
 to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the money. Since 
the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any 
bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this is why 
I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money
 can be transferred, hence this  proposal to you.
You have to understand that this decision taken by me is a very big
and brave one, and it entrusts my future in your hands, as a result of
the safe keeping of this money.
If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist
with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from
their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transferred
from Zimbabwe to their branch here. The company will be legally informed 
of you representing me.
For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can
choose to have 20% of the money for your assistance, and helping me
open an account for the money to be deposited here, or you can go into
partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money
in your country. 

I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in
advance as I anticipate your co-operation.
Sincerely,


Winston Shabangu
