COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON,
With due respect, trust and humility I write this
letter to you, seeking your help and assistance though it' s difficult since
we have not met before. I believe that you are capable and reliable in
handling this urgent international transaction of this sort.
I am AISHA DONCAN, the dougher of comrade TOMSIN DONCAN
the Zimbabwean former Minister for Youth & Gender Equality who is also a
businessman and politician, in the Zimbabwean political arena. My father
was the famous politician who stood firm against President
Mugabe 's idea of continuous seizure of White farms and the distribution
of it to the blacks without compensation to the owners.
Because of my father's stand in this issue, he was killed on the 14th
April 2001 by a planned motor accident along Mashonaland in Western
Mashona province of Zimbabwe, the planners of the accident are said to be
dissidents soldiers suspected to have the backing of the
government and President Mugabe.
Sir, when this accident occurred at about 6;45 pm Zimbabwean time my
father did not die on the spot rather he was rushed to Harare
hospital by some members of the opposition group.
Sensing that if my father die we shall be the next target, my mother in her
sick condition managed under special arrangements by some UDM members(the opposition group) managed to sneak us out of Zimbabwe to DAKAR SENEGAL
where we are to seek asylum. It was at this stage that my
mother confided in me that my father, before he died, had released certain
documents to her. One of these documents is the main reason i am writing
this letter to you, and it concerns a depos it of one diplomatic box my
father concealed with one of the
private security company here in dakar containing US$10M (ten million,
united states dollars) declared as family valuables, and other vital
documents which was meant for his political campaign in the past
election march 2002.
We are now in DAKAR SENEGAL with the original documents of
deposit intact, and because of the existing law, which prevents asylum seekers / refugee like us to operate an account that exceeds US$1000.00 and at the same time, there is no way we can comfortably
transfer this money abroad for safe keeping and investment without
assistance from someone overseas, I decided to write to you seek for
your help for this money to be transferred into your private bank account
as all arrangements for a hitch free transfer have been fully taken care of.
I want to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free as no
other person knows this box apart from my younger borther and i as my
mother
..
Sir, as for your reward kind assistance we have resolved to give you
20% of the total amount, 5% will be set aside for any expenses that might
be incurred in the course of this transaction. We planned
to invest the rest of the money in your country under your guidance. If
you are willing to help us, try as much as possible to mail me back for more briefing, and also, to enable us proceed in earnest
towards concluding the transfer. However you will be kind enough to give me
your private number, I will be glad to call you.
Sir, bear in mind that our lives depend on this fund and we do hope
that this money will be safe when finally transferred into your account. I
do hope to establish a rewarding and good relationship with you and your family after this transaction.
Hoping to hear from you as soon
as possible.
Thanks for your co-operation and God bless.
Best regards,
AISHA DONCAN
