believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was
doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign
partner that will assist my family and I to transfer fund to his personal or
private account and for investment purpose. I am Mrs. MARY ADAMS the wife of
late Mr. JOHN ADAMS., who was the “ chairman’’ of the farmers co-operation
in Zimbabwe.

president Robert Mugabe Administration during the land dispute that just
happened in Zimbabwe. After the death of my husband, my three children and I
decided to move out of ZIMBABWE because our lives were in danger because of
the money that my husband kept in his hidden safe in our house.
