NO.10 ANDERSON STREET
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
ATTENTION: DIRECTOR /CEO.
STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don’t know me personally, the purpose of my introduction is that, I am MR.JOHNSON KUBA,the first SON of MR.PEDRO KUBA,a farmer and leader movement for democratic change (MDC)in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I was furnished with viable information from the International Trade Centre here in Johannesburg and I decided to write to you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$8 M (EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS), in a Security Company, as if he fore saw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and the establishment of the new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President MR.ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new Land Act which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. Infact, alot of people have been killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background, that I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father’s 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. As the eldest SON of my father, 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 bent on taking everything we have got.
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 as an asylum seeker. As a business man,whom I have entrusted 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. Will aid us in transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas.
This money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have a certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Which ever the option you want, feel free to notify me as I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above telephone number while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. And no matter the level of transaction we are, you must call me on phone first before sending a reply.
Please, you should keep this transaction secret and confidential. And send your fax and telephone numbers for easy communication. Call me first.
N/B.I would like you to furnish me with the following:
1) YOUR PRIVATE PHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
2) YOUR FULL NAME.
3) YOUR FULL ADDRESS.
THANKS FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION

Critics, including Nobel laureates, say law which ANC says is aimed at protecting state secrets will stifle free speech.
South Africa’s parliament has adopted a bill meant to protect state secrets but that critics say will stifle freedom of speech and hamper democracy.
Tuesday’s 259-41 vote with 32 abstentions came after months of fierce debate. Opposition groups said they will challenge the measure at the Constitutional Court if it does become a law.
The bill’s critics included two Nobel prize winners: Desmond Tutu, the peace laureate, and Nadine Gordimer, a literature laureate.
The office of Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first post-apartheid president and another Nobel peace laureate, also expressed reservations about the bill.
Others who objected included newspaper editors, prominent writers, church groups, freedom of expression lobbyists, business leaders and others.
ANC’s position
The governing African National Congress (ANC), which presented the bill, says South Africa needs to update apartheid-era legislation defining secrets and setting out punishments for divulging them.
The approval had been expected because the ANC holds a majority of parliament’s seats, and party discipline is rarely violated. Parliament’s upper house could ask for revisions, but that rarely happens.
Jacob Zuma, South Africa’s president, will have to sign the bill to make it law, and while his legal advisers may ask for revisions, the Associated Press news agency reported that he was expected to do so.
The ANC bill reads “information that is accessible to all is the basis of a transparent, open and democratic society”, but says secrecy is sometimes necessary to “save lives, to enhance and to protect the freedom and security of persons, to bring criminals to justice, to protect the national security and to engage in effective government and diplomacy’.
While the bill makes it a crime to divulge state secrets, it also makes it a crime for an official to withhold information to conceal wrongdoing or incompetence, or merely to avoid embarrassment.
Critics wore black and staged protests at the ANC’s downtown Johannesburg headquarters during rush hour on Tuesday.
Opponents of the bill said its weaknesses include its lack of a provision allowing those who break the law to avoid going to jail if they could argue they acted in the public interest.
Sharp criticism
Activists fear the adoption of the measure in a country known for one of the continent’s freest and most open constitutions could influence other governments in the region.
In a statement late Monday, Tutu said it is “insulting to all South Africans to be asked to stomach legislation that could be used to outlaw whistle-blowing and investigative journalism … and that makes the state answerable only to the state”.
Tutu won a Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent opposition to white rule.
In more recent years, he has been a sharp critic of ANC moves he sees as undermining rule of law and weakening South Africa’s fledgling democracy.
The ANC dismisses suggestions from critics that its proposal would take the country back to the days when white racist officials banned newspapers and punished whistle blowers to stifle criticism.
Prominent ANC members also have opposed the bill, among them a former state security minister.
