Subject: FAMILY REQUEST FOR HELP
Dear Sir/Madam,
FAMILY REQUEST FOR HELP
This might be as a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I got
your address from the intene website of Dubai Chamber of Commerce in
United Arab Emirate.
My name is Mr.Edward Sithole the elder son of late Mr. Godson Sithole, of Masingo
Province of Zimbabwe. During the recent war against the (WHITE FARMERS ) in my
country Zimbabwe from the supports of our President Robert Mugabe, to claim all the
white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all white
farmers to surrender all their farm lands and that they should leave our country
Zimbabwe.
My father was one of the members of Zimbabwe farmers Associations (ZFA) and he
was the treasurer of the famers associations, he was not in support of President
Mugabe's ideas. President Mugabe's, supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt
everything in the farm, killing my father and made away with a lot of items in my
father's farm.
Befor my father,s death he told me that my country is no longer save for us
because of President Mugade's heet on the White farmers to everquate their
properties. He made it known to me that he had deposited with one of the Security
Company in United Arab Emirate the sum of US$16,500,000.00 (Sixteen million
five hundred thousand united states dollars). for purchase of new farm machinery
and chemicals for Agricultural purposes in Dubai as well as purchase of new
hectors of land in Swaziland though the content of the Box
was not disclose to the Security Company.
After his death we were foced to move to Dubai where he had deposited the
money in the Security Company because his murderers wanted to wipe out our entire
family, knowing that we identify them. After readig about you on the internet i
believe that somebody like you will be capable of hadling this kind of transaction
so I decided to contact you. We seek your assistance in transfering this fund out
of Dubai because as we were (Refugee)Asylum seekers we ware limited in so
many areas,we ware not allowed to operate any huge bank transaction within Dubai
. Nevertheless my family and i whould like you to assist us on any profitable
business we can invest this fund on, in your country.
We have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be
mapped out for any expenses that may incurred in the course of this transaction
and 70% will be for me and my family . I have all the documents that was use to
deposite this fund and am willing to send then to you by fax. If you are willing
to assist us, kindly furnish me your personal phone and fax numbers for easy
communication. And ,You can contact me .
via my email address. I asure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and
absolutely confidential.
Best Regards,
Mr.Edward Sithole.
