Subject: URGENT MESSAGE PLEASE
Good day to you.
Dear friend. You may be surprised to received this letter from me becauseyou
dont know me in person , I am Dr Peters Raul, the first and only son of
late Mr MPUTA PETERS, who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe,
I was
furnished of your profile from your country web site I decided to contact
you. Before
the death of my father, he had taken me to LOME TOGO to deposit the sum
of
US$25,000,000 (TWENTY FIVE MILLION US DOLLAR), in a private security and
Finance company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This
amount was meant for the purchase of chemicals and tractors for the development
of our new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when the Zimbabwean
President
Mr ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new land reform act, which wholly affected
the
rich white farmers and some black farmers. This result to killing and mob
action
by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, Alot of people
have been killed because of this land-reform act, which my father is one
of
them.
You can look up to CNN news every day for what is happening in the country,

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1966949.stm
it is against this backdrop that my family and I who are currently in LOME
TOGO decided to transfer our fathers money to any foreign account since
the
LOME TOGO law prohibits refugees(asylum seekers) to operate any type of
bank
account or to be involved in any huge financial transaction. As the eldest
child
of my father, I am seeking for a genuine foreign partner who can help us
transfer
this money in to his or her oversea account. On the other hand, the LOME
TOGO government seems to be playing along with them. We are therefore faced
with the dilemma of investing this money in LOME TOGO for the fear of going
through
the same experience in future, since both countries have similar political
history.
As a business man whom I will entrust my future and that of my entire family
in his or her hands , I must let you know that this business is completely
100% risk-free. As we cannot accept to venture into any dangerous deal with
our fortune, if you therefore accept to assist us, which I know that you
will.
Please I will like you to contact me urgently. Feel free to ask all questions
you deem necessary. For your assistance , we have proposed two options
fory you.
(1)You may go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment
of the money in your country. (2)If you do not prefer a partnership, I am
willing to give you 25% of the sum while the remaining 70% will be for
my family
prior for investment in your country, while the remaining 5% will be used
to
defray all the expenses that may incure during the process of this transaction.
You are therefore required of absolute confidentiality of this matter.
My private mail box raulpeter3@katamail.com
God bless you.
Yours truly,
Dr Peters Raul.
