Dear Friend,

You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know me
personally. I am Mr. Mike Pedro the son of Dr John Pedro, who was murdered
in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through Network on
line in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very
confidential transaction which involves a transfer of fund to a foreign
account and I decided to write you, My Late Father was among the
Zimbabwean Rich Farmers murdered in Cold Blood by the agents of the ruling
government of President Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy
for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority.

Before his death he had taken to Johannesburg - South Africa to deposit
the sum of US$25.5 Million (Twenty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company as if he
foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited din a Box
as valuables to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company This money
was embarked from the purchase of New Machinery and Chemical for Farms and
the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This land problem
arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly
affected the Rich White Farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned
the "Modus Operandi" adopted by the government.

This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and
some political thug's precisely; More than thirty-one (31) people have so
far been killed. Heads of governments from the west, especially Britain
and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of
Mugabe'splan. Subsequently, South African Development Community (S.A.D.C)
has
continuously supported Mugabe's new land act, it is against this
background that I and my family who are currently residing in South Africa
have decided to transfer my Father's money into a Foreign Account.

As the head of the family, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking
a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without
the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our family
wealth and South Africa's government seems to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for
fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries
have almost the same political history.

More so, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment hence we are seeking for an "ASYLUM". As a business person whom
I entrusted my future and that of my family into his hands, I must let you
know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your
business does not necessarily matter. For your assistance, we are
offering you 30% of the total sum, 60% for me and My Family while 10% will
be mapped out for any expenses we may incur during the course of this
transaction. We wish to invest our part of the money on commercial
property based on your advice.

Finally, all we demand from you is assurance that you will not sit on this
money when it finally gets to your personal or company's account in your
country. If this proposal is acceptable by you,
please confirm your interest via the above TEL number or E-MAIL me.

Best Regards.
Mr. Mike Pedro
(For the Family).
