Subject: Soliciting for your help!
Dear Friend,
How are you and your family today? I hope that you are all okay? I found
information about you and decided to contact you for an important
assistance. I am mike Nkomo a citizen of Zimbabwe, but I am writing from my
refugee camp in Enschede-Netherlands.
I am the only son of Kenneth Nkomo, a wealthy farmer and a senior politician
with the opposition political party in my country, Movement for Democratic
Change [MDC].My father was murdered by our wicked President, Robert Mugabe
and I fled my country because I have become his next target to eliminate.
My father was a fighter for Justice and a moving force in the MDC, a part
wanting to end the several years of brutal dictatorship government of
President Robert Mugabe. You will read more stories about President Mugabe's
brutal acts by visiting this web sites.

My father was accused of Treason and also assisting the White farmers in
fighting the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he was reported dead.
The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body was never seen
for proper autopsy, they buried him in the government cemetery.
My father's associate Mr. Martin Olds a White farmer from Sweden assisted me
in fighting my father's death through the Court and media, the government
saw us as a big treat to them and decided to eliminate us.
Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his house, but fortunately, before
they came
looking for me, I received the news and I had to flee through the border to
South Africa to save my life. My arrival here in Enschede still remains a
miracle to me.
Here, is my reasons for contacting you, I need to bring my family out of
Zimbabwe as soon as possible before any more harm is done on them.
I am having a huge sum of money in the total sum of $10.5MUSD (Ten million
five hundred thousand united states dollars ) presently hidden in a safe
place.
My father kept this money in a trunk box in disguise as family treasures and
could not bank them, because of the situation in my country.
My father's business, farms and banks account were seized by the government
before his arrest and murder.
He told me everything concerning the funds while he was still in detention
and I have made solid arrangement with a diplomat concerning the shipment of
the box out of my country
because we cannot invest it there .
I need your assistance in securing the funds out here (western world) to an
account of your choice in
where taxation is not very high, I am willing to offer you 20% of the
$10.5MUSD for your assistance. Please, let me know if you can assist me, so
that I can give you more details on how we shall proceed.
As I wait for your urgent response, please treat this information as top
secret and send your phone number so that I can speak with you.
Thank you and God bless. My mother is aware of my plans,as I am sending her
copy of this letter.
Regards,
Mike Nkomo.
