Hello Dear,
With All Sincerely;
My name is Stella Sigcau, the elder daughter of Mr. Zac sigcau of Zimbabwe.
I know this might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact
address. Before you proceed reading my mail, please do go through this
web page for better understanding with full details:
http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html
I got your esteem contact and particulars out of desperate search for
a
business minded personality in your country, who will honestly assist
my younger brother and I to realize our inherited funds into his/her
account and as well as invest it into a lucrative business.
During the recent war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters
of our President, Robert Mugabe to claim all the white -owned farms
to his party members and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers
to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father being one of the few rich and successful black farmers in our
country was also victimized because of his opposition to Mugabe's policies.
And because he did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded
my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father
and made away with a lot of items in my father's farm. This action was
taken because my late father felt the growing tension on the farm issue,
but I guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought their brutal
and sudden death.
However with the benefit of hindsight, owing to the looming but deteriorating
crisis in my country, Zimbabwe, my father, before his unfortunate death
deposited with one of the Security Company in Accra Ghana the sum of
US$ 14 Million (Fourteen Million United States Dollars), with the sole
aim of acquiring and buying some dredging equipments in setting up of
a dredging firm with his partner. With his death and all his assets
seized at home and accounts frozen, the family is now in a very difficult
situation After the death of my father, my brother and I escaped to
the Republic of Ghana where he had deposited the money in the Security
Company as a family valuable property.
And we were permitted to reside here as Political Refugees. So Because
of our present and unpleasant status here we decided to contact an overseas
firm / individual that can assist us to move this money out Of Ghana
because, as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any financial
transaction of such amount with in Ghana and also to assist in providing
me and my brother a permanent residential permit in your country after
the money must have been transferred to your account.
We have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum for your assistance,
and the rest will be for my brother and I, to Invest in your country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your entire details including
your readiness to assist me achieve this transaction for investment
purposes in your country under your supervision. Please further details
on how to achieve this transaction.
Also, send your direct phone and fax numbers for further/easier communication.
I have to re-assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and
should be treated with absolute confidentiality.
All the vital documentation/certification that has to do with the origin
of the fund is with me for the security reasons. And I will send them
to you when we progress. And I guarantee you that this fund is not government
fund, drug money, or from arms deals.
I will detail you more immediately I receive your acceptance response.
I hope this is the beginning of a prosperous relationship between us.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours faithfully;
Stella Sigcau.
