Dear Sir/Madam,

Kindly excuse my intrusion into your private life. I urgently need your help to redeem my late husband's properties. I am Mrs. Amadika Makoni, the wife of Late Benson Makoni, who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.

My late husband was among the few black 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.

Prior to my husband's murder he transferred to Dakar-Senegal and deposited the sum of US$5.8 Million (Five Million Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a Private Security company, sensing the looming danger in Zimbabwe.

This money was packaged in a custom made bank security trunk box and my husband declared the money as antique to the Security Company. This was aimed at distracting the attention of government agents who would want to pry into such a huge amount of money.

The land crisis that claimed my husband's life arose when President Mugabe introduced a new "land act" that wholly affected the rich white farmers, while very few blacks unanimously condemned the illegal policy adopted by the government. This resulted to rampant killing and maiming of unsuspecting white minority and their black counterpart by the war veterans and some political thugs.

Owing to this hostility, quite a number of white minority farmers and their black supporters have been gruesomely murdered. This incidence has received both local and international condemnation, especially from the western countries and yet the defiant President Mugabe is still less perturb and fully in control.

Subsequently, the South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported Mugabe's new land act. It is against this backdrop that my family who are currently forced into exile in various countries decided to transfer the money from its current location out of Africa. Please sir, kindly contact my son for proper briefing and understanding. He is currently seeking political asylum in the Netherlands. His name is David Makoni and his phone number is +31-621-944-500 while his email address is davidmakoni@email.com

Right now my children and I are in a hideout in Dakar Senegal. We are faced with the dilemma of investing this money in Africa as President Mugabe is bent on frustrating the minority farmers; hence I resolved to search for a reliable business oriented person who can help us invest these funds. My problem is compounded with the fact that I am incapacitated with President Mugabe's act of terrorism.

For your assistance, we are offering you 25% of the total sum, 72% for my family while 3% is set out for any expenses we may incur during the course of this transaction.

Sir, if my request is acceptable by you, please responds swiftly.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Amadika Makoni
