Grant sent a message to Nicolas Berggruen , Chairman of Berggruen Holdings email address that said:
Good day Mr Berggruen
I hope you are well, apologies for contacting you directly but I'm desperate for assistance and hope you might be able to help me.
I'm a South African coloured father of 2 young children and both myself and my wife have degrees with experience in different industries including support for Datacash/MasterCard (Information Systems and Sociology) but we are unable to find suitable employment which will enable us to move from the Cape flats, Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, S.A, which is known for its gangs, drugs and illegal criminal activities. Our lives are in danger everyday due to the gang wars where innocent people including young kids are being killed. We would love to emigrate to New Zealand but the costs are to high. If possible, can you assist or ask one of your many contacts who owns companies in New Zealand to help myself or my wife with a job offer, that way we would be able to get a work permit and eventually residence. I have friends and family living out in NZ so we wont be alone. We would love to give our kids the best possible opportunities and a chance for a normal SAFE up bringing. I hope you can assist, only a job offer is needed. Please, We would appreciate any assistance. I'm praying that you will make it possible for us to provide our kids with that opportunity.
If you are not able to assist with my request then is it possible to sponsor me with the funds needed to apply for residency as I meet the requirements, It's less than 10 000USD, a contract can be drawn up for me to repay the money once I start working, to change our lives and to give my kids the opportunities they deserve, In that way I will be granted a Visa that will allow me to apply for positions in New Zealand. I applied to many companies there before and passed their assessments but because of no visa I was not accepted. Therefore Im positive that I will get employment easily with my qualifications, experience and knowledge.
Thank you in advance for your HELP even though I'm not from your country but Im still a fellow human in need.
If you are unable to assist with a job in New Zealand, can you please help with the funding needed to apply for residency,
Thanks and may the ALMIGHTY bless you even more.
The below links are some insight of what we have to live with. PLEASE any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Grant
