> You may be surprised to receive this letter from me
> since you do not know me personally, the purpose of
> my  introduction is that, I am LAWRENCE DOUGLAS, the
> first  son of JOHN DOUGLAS , who was recently murdered
> in  the land dispute in Zimbabwe.  I got your contact
> through my search in the Internet word online  hence
> decided to write  you.
>
> Before the death of my father, he  deposited  the
> sum  of US$20.5Million(Twenty Million Five Hundred
> United States Dollars), in one the private security
> companyin my name as his only son, as if he foresaw
> the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
>
> This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to
> avoid much demurrage from Security Company. This
> amount  was meant for the purchase of new machines and
>  chemicals for the farms and established of new farm
> in  Swaziland.
>
> This land problem came when Zimbabwean President  Mr.
> Robert Mugabe introduce a new Land Act reform which
> wholly affected the rich white farmers and  some few
> blacks farmers.  And  this resulted to the  killing
> and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans  and  some
> lunatics in the society.  In fact, a lot of people
> were killed because of this land reformed Act for
> which my father was one of the victim.
>
> It is against this background that, I and my family
> who are currently staying in South Africa decided to
> transfer my fathers money to foreign account since
> the law of South Africa prohibit a refugee (asylum
> seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved  in
>  any financial transaction throughout the territorial
> zone South Africa. As the eldest son of my father,   I
> am saddle with the responsibility of seeking a
> genuine foreign account where this money could be
> transferred without the knowledge of my government
> who are bent on taking everything we have got. The
> South African government seems to be playing along
> with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing
> this amount of money in South Africa for fear of
> going  through the same experience in future since
> both  countries have similar political history.
> Moreover,  the South African Foreign Exchange policy
> does not  allow such investment for an asylum seeker.
>
> As a businessman, who I have to entrust my future and
> of my family in his hands, I must let you know that
> this transaction is risk free.  If you accept to
> assist me and my family all I want you to do for me
> is  to make arrangements and come to Johannesburg
> South  Africa, so that you can open a non-resident
> account  which will aid us in transferring the money
> into any  account you will nominate overseas.  This
> money I intend to use for investment.
>
> l have agreed to give you 15% of the total sun, and
> 5%  for expenses both of us may incur in process of
> this  transaction 80% will be for me and my family for
>  investment in your country.
>
> Contact me with the above E-mail or Telephone number
> while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy
> required in this transaction.
