From: THILO JOHNSON [thilojohnson@netscape.net] Sent: Monday, May 26, 2003 4:20 PM To: rob@cocke9yed.com Subject: THILO JOHNSON My Dear , Good day.This very confidential request should come as a surprise to you.But it is because of the nature of what is happening to me and my family urged me to contact you, and I quite understand that this is not the best way to contact you because of the nature of my request and the attention it requires.I got your contact information from your country's information directory during my desperate search for someone who can assist me secretly and confidentially in relocating and managing some family fortunes. My name is Mr.Thilo Johnson , the second son of Mr.George Johnson.At the height of the present political crises in our country,in which the white farmers in our country are being slained and ripped off their belongings by the supporters of our president,Mr.Robert G.Mugabe,in their efforts to reclaim all the white owned farms in our country,my father and my elder brother were brutally slained to a painful death on the 13th of february,2002, in their struggle to protect some white farmers who ran to take refuge in our house.My father,during his life on earth was a prominent business man who trades on diamond and gold from some foreign countries . He publicly opposes the crude policies and crime against humanity on the white farmers by Mr.Robert Mugabe and his followers,which they enforced media law restrictions to protect their wicked acts.That not being enough,the president and his followers after winning the last undemocratic elections decided to block and confiscate all accounts and assets of our black indigenes[that included my fathers assets and accounts] who oppose his policies and render support to these white farmers,along with the assets of these white farmers themselves,that are being presently confiscated.I therefore decided to move my mother and younger sister to the Republic of South Africa,where we presently live without anything and without any source of livelyhood. During my fathers life on earth,he had deposited the sum of Six Million and One Hundred Thousand United States Dollars[$6.100.000.00] with a Finance and Security Company in Europe for a cash and carry Diamond and Gold business with some foreign business customers, awaiting instructions to be moved to its destination,which he never completed before he met his untimely death on that faithful day. Before you can get access to it I have to give you the password and documents of the fund I am therefore soliciting your help to have this money transferred into your account or any that you will provide. Before my government get wind of this fund.You know my father was against President Robert Mugabe before his death. My reason for doing this is because it will be difficult for the Zimbabwe government to trace my father's money to an individual's account, especially when such an individual has no relationship. I decided to keep that money for my family use. At present the money is kept in a Security Company in Netherlands. In view of this and as the only surviving son of my father,and with the present clamp down,killing and confiscation of his assets as one of those who render support to the white farmers in our country,I therefore humbly wish to inform you of my intentions to use your name and adress in making sure that this fund is lifted out of the finance company and also seek for your honest and trustworthy assistance to help me clear and accommodate this money over there before it is dictated out and blocked by the present Mugabe's regime.My mother is presently with the valid document covering this deposit. Now this is what I actually want you to do for me 1 I want you to be presented to the Finance and Security company as the person I contacted to assist my family for this purpose, with whose name and adress myself and my mother will forward to them their office in the Netherlands as the person that will clear this money 2. To finally assist me in accommodating and managing this money in any lucrative business in your country for at least Five years. Please,I hope you will grant and view this very request with favour and much understanding of our situation now,and will be a very honest and reliable person to deal with.And also bearing in mind the confidential nature of this my request,I emphasize please that you keep every bit of it to yourself so as to protect my familys future and yourself rendering this help. Thanking you in anticipation of your urgent response as soon as you read this very request. Best Regards, Mr.Thilo Johnson
