Subject: WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU
MR.Mechea Shely
Qtr. NO.1012 MEDINA
DAKAR SENEGAL.
EMAIL: mechea_adno_3@hotmail.com
Attn:
With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I
believe would be of great interest to you. I found your contact while I was
doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign
partner that will assist me and myfamily. I am mechea Shely the eldest son
of MR. Kevin Shely of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of
our PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his
party members and his followers due to their selfish political interest. My
father who was one of the richest & best farmers in our country, and also
the treasurer of the white farmers co-operation did not support his idea
andso the party members (ZANUPF) invaded my father's farms and burnt
everything in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of items
in the farm,the same thing they did to other farmers.
After the death of my father, I and my family decided to move out of
Zimbabwe with the money that my father kept in his hidden safe in his house
because our lives were in danger . The amount contained in the safe is
US$18.5M (Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and
we decided to code the money and move to the Republic of Senegal for
safety,where we deposited the money in a Security Company for safe keeping
as a family valuable item.
So I decided to make contacts with a foreign faithful individual or company
whom will assist us to move this money out of Dakar Senegal, because we are
asylum seekers here in Senegal, and the law of this country does not permit
us some civil rights such as owing or operating a bank account due to our
status as refugees. So if you consider this proposal, we have agreed to give
you 20% of the total sum for helping us to move this money out to your
country and 5% will be mapped out for expenses both of us may incure during
this transaction and 75% will be for me and family to invest in your country
as we have decided to leave Senegal to reside permanently oversea. All I
want from you is your acceptance and agreement to help me out from this
situation i am into now,You can contact me on the above email address.
NOTE: That this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential.
Therefore, be kind to clarify the following for my family consideration:
1. Can your account accommodate this fund in your local bank without
government intervention or do you have an account outside your country
whereyou may consider safe for this fund?.
2. What are taxation in your country like as I desire a low/free tax zone?.
3. What are the interest rates on long/short term fixed deposit in your
local banks?.
4. What other lucrative investments would you suggest as I intend banking,
real estate and hotels if they are good business venture in your Country?.
5. Can you be able to make residential documents and purchase a house for me
and my family to relocate and settle in your country?.(If you can help us in
this matter, please reply this mail).

(For the family).
