MR ANDERSON LUGA,the elder son of Mr.John LUGA. of
Zimbabwe.
This might be a surprise to you about where I got
your contact address.
I got your contact address from the United Kingdom
information center.
During the current war against the farmers in
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 farms to his party members and his followers. My
father is One of the best farmers in our country and
because he did not support Mugabes ideas,Mugabes
upports invaded my fathers farm and burnt everything
in the farm, killing my father and made away with a
lot of items in my fathers farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited with of a
Security Company in UK,the sum of 15.7
MILLION(FIFTEEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDERD THOUSAND
POUNDS).
After the death of my father, we decided to move to
the UK, where he had deposited the money in the
Security Company as valuables. So I decided to
contact overseas firm and companies that will assist
me to move this money out of UK because as asylum
seekers we are not allowed to operate any Bank
Account within UK. We have agreed to offer you 15%
of the total sum for your
assistance,5% will be mapped out for any expenses
that may be incurred in the course of this
transaction while 80% will be for me and my family
to invest in
your country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your
entire personal phone and fax numbers for easy
communication.You can contact me with this email
address;
.
Note that this transaction is 100% Risk free and
absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God bless.
Best Regards
