Subject: Please, help me for I am alone in this world
DEAR SIRE/MADAM,
IT IS A GREAT PLEASURE FOR ME TO CONTACT YOU BUT FIRST LET ME START BY
INTRODUCING MYSELF. I AM THE SON OF CHIEF BAGUDU NWAFOR, A MEMBER OF THE
MOVEMENT FORPOLITICAL CHANGE IN ZIMBABWE WHICH IS AGAINST THE PRESIDENT AND
HIS POLITICALPARTY CALLED ZANU PF. PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR INTRUDING YOUR
PRIVACY; I OBTAIN YOUR ADDRESS INFORMATION FROM INTERNET SEARCH. IT HAPPENS
THAT HE BECAME A PARTNER WITH A WHITE MAN IN BUSINESS WHO IS ONE OF THE
LEADERS OF THEIR MOVEMENT, THROUGH HIM HE BROUGHT HIS IDEAS AND PHILOSOPHY
THAT THEY NEED TO ERADICATE THE IDEA OF RACISM AND TORTURE TOWARDS THE WHITE
BY THE PRESENT PRESIDENTBECAUSE THEY ARE THE MINORITY IN ZIMBABWE
(SOUTHAFRICA). WEBSITE: http://www.usip.org/pubs/specialreports/sr109.html
BECAUSE OF HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR PARTY FOR DEMOCRATIC CHANGE THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY BROUGHT THEIR WICKED IDEAS TOWARDS US. THEY STARTED
CONFISCATING OUR PROPERTIES ,OUR FARM LANDS AND EVEN OUR COMPANY WHICH MY
FATHER IS A PARTNER WITH A WHITE MAN BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT AND
HIS ALLIES HAS BEEN DOING THAT TO OTHER WHITE FARMERS.DURING THIS PROCESS HE
WAS ARRESTED WITH HIS PARTNER. HOWEVER ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS MY
FATHER GAVE ME TO SELL THE REMAINDER OF HIS ASSETS, I AS THE SON WAS ABLE TO
SELL HIS REMAINING ASSETS WHICH I REALISED US$18,525,000.00 AND DEPOSITED
THIS FUND WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN EUROPE WITH THE HELP OF OUR FAMILY
FRIEND IN SOUTH AFRICA AND WAS SEND BY THE COMPANY TO EUROPE.BUT AS OF NOW I
AM IN BELGIUM AND THE REASON WHY I AMSOLICITING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IS THAT
EVER SINCE I CAME HERE TO BELGIUM, I HAVE NOT BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE
CONSIGNMENT FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY TO DEPOSIT THE FUND IN THE BANK
BECAUSE I AM STAYING HERE AS A REFUGEE IN BELGIUM.
ALL I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO COME TRAVEL DOWN TO EUROPE/YOU CONTACT MY LAWYER
TO ADVISE HOW DOCUMENTS CAN BE ARRANGED IN YOUR NAMES AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR
BENEFICIARY TO THE FUND SO THAT YOU CAN OPEN A NON-RESIDENTIAL ACCOUNT SO
THAT WE WILL DEPOSIT THE MONEY AND TRANSFER THE FUND FROM EUROPE TO YOUR
NOMINATEDBANK ACCOUNT SO THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO RELOCATE THE REST OF OUR
FAMILY AWAY FROM ZIMBABWE AND USE THE REST MONEY FOR ONWARD INVESTMENT. SIR,
WITH YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE I AM READY TO GIVE YOU 20% FROM THE TOTALSUM
OF MONEY AND ALSO I HAVE MAP OUT 2% FOR EXPENSES FOR BOTH PARTIES MIGHT
INCUR DURING THIS TRANSACTION.
I ASSURE YOU THAT THIS ASSISTANCE AND HELP IS 100% RISK FREE AND THIS WON'T
JEOPARDIZE THE INTEREST OF YOU AND YOUR COMPANY NEITHER MY FAMILY. PLEASE I
WANT YOU TO KEEP CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT OF ZIMBABWE
DID NOT KNOW THAT I AM IN BELGIUM OR WE EVEN HAVE OTHER ASSETS THAT I WAS
ABLE SELL TO REALISE THE FUND.I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU THROUGH E-MAIL
BECAUSE I WANT IT TO BE PRIVATE AND ALSO I AM WAITING YOUR REPLY THROUGH
THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS SO THAT I CAN NOW GIVE YOU DETAILS AND UPDATES. HOPING
