Not sure if this is against the law or not

Dear Friend,

I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed properties in your country on behalf of my Husband,Former opposition Vice Presidential Candidate in Zimbabwe's last general elections recently concluded. Considering the strategic and influential position he held in the opposing political party in Zimbabwe, he would want the transaction to be strictly confidential as possible. He further wants his identity to remain undisclosed at least for now,until the completion of the transaction. Hence our desire to have an overseas Manager. The project in brief, is that the funds with which we intend to carry out our proposed investments in your country, is presently in the custody of a security Company in overseas and we need your assistance to transfer the funds to your country in a convenient bank account that will be provided by you before we can put the funds into use in your country.
