REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE/INVESTMENT.
ATTEN: Sir/Madam
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial; as a matter of
urgentcy, i am desparately looking for a foriegn partner whom i can trust
to handle some investment or fund movement. I am MRS FLORA ROBINSON, wife of
late MR. KENNETH ROBINSON, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and
irrate black people.
I am writing from Zimbabwe. I got your address from the internet through the
consultancy directory during my search for a reliable and honest person to
transact this business with.I write to solicit for your special assistance
to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his
(ZANU-PF) ruling party president Robert Mugabe.
Because of land and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly
sponsored
the war veterans and some irrate party members to disposess the land being
occupied by white farmers.This action has led to the killing of some members
of opposition party including my husband(Kenneth robinson).
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited
the sum of US$15.4m (Fifteen million four hundered Thousand United States
Dollars) in
the name of our only son FORTUNE ROBINSON with the help of reputable
security company in
south Africa with the intention of using it to open fertilizer manufacturing
company among other companies in our neighbouring country (Swaziland) after
his university education.
On the 29th of June 2000, the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF)
ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him (my husband) to death.
Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son, KENNETH ROBINSON , but
he managed to escape to a neighbouring country, South Africa as a political
asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does not permit
him to open an account or run any huge financial business.
That is why I want this fund to be transferred into your private account so
that you will assist him to invest it in your country. Hence,if you agree to
assist us, we will offer you 20% of the money for your assistance, 10% will
befor the possible expenses incurred in the process of this transaction,
while 70% will be for our family investment in your country through your
assistance. I need your urgent and confidential response.
Best regards,
MRS flora robinson
FOR THE FAMILY.
Upon your immediate response, I will immediately arrange and send to you all
the
informations that will empower your good self in finalizing the transaction
with
the security company in south Africa I will also send to you the agreement
that
will protect both interest. And also further information about yourself is
necessary
for i can not play on this.
Waiting for your prompt and positive response ..
