Thank you for your attention, I must apologize firstly for contacting you by Email because I had no other option, I am prepared to offer you a substantial amount of money for you to assist my family in investing some money in your country, my late husband, Mr.
Gibson Ncube is the owner of this money, I am contacting you with a great sense of loss having just finished a customary 2 year period of mourning for my late husband, Mr. Gibson Ncube,a black Zimbabwean farmer who was attacked in his farm in the year 2
002 by the War veterans who took over the farm of my late husband, on the night of this attack, I had managed to flee with my son and daughter from the farm because my husband was tipped off that his farm was being targeted to be attacked due to his posi
tion as Administrative secretary of the Matabeleland Movement for Democratic Change(MDC), the main opposition party in my country Zimbabwe,I lost my husband in october2002, four months after the attack because he was hospitalized and passed away from his
injuries .I am contacting you with my son, Pascal, who is 32 years old. I am equally gravely sick with Breast Cancer and require your honest assistance as I am preparing to return to Zimbabwe to continually seek medical treatment. My husband had managed
to sell off his equipment in his farm and was preparing to re-locate to neighboring Botswana where he was negotiating another piece of land to set up another farm, due to the tip-off he had received about his farm being up for seizure, he had managed to
take the proceeds of sale of his equipment into South-Africa where he had deposited the box containing this money in a Vault of a safe storage facility, it was only on his deathbed that he disclosed this information to me and informed me that upon his
passing away, I was to arrange to go to South-Africa with specific instructions which is one of the reasons why I have contacted you because the instructions require your services as an overseas business to conclude, please do not be surprised at this c
orrespondence because my ill health has required me to seek your services urgently because I do not know how much longer I can live .If this correspondence touches your conscience, please feel free to contact me so I can give you more information through
my son as I am making arrangements to travel to Zimbabwe anytime from now, my son will be in a good position to give you further details. This money can be put to better use in a business that can generate profit in your county and I will be prepared to
donate some potion of my familys share of this money to a charitable organization for breast cancer sufferers ,the funds are not of illegal origin, it is not being traced or investigated, it is not stolen money, it is money that my husband made from se
lling his farm properties and I assure you there is no risk involved for you, your assistance will guarantee you at least US1 Million, please do not ignore this correspondence and I await your urgent reply by Email, thank you once more.
Sincerely yours,
Rosemary Ncube(Mrs).
