Subject: hello............
Dear Sir,
Our present situation has made us decided to send you this mail that I
am sure will come to you as a surprise. Please we mean you no harm only
we are in a desperate situation and need urgent help. After going
through this letter it will be your decision, whether to help this bereaved
family or to leave us to our faith, but whatever you decide, bear in
mind, that we are
in trouble and need your help.
I am Mrs. Jennifer Ngdala, the wife of late Mr. Brown Ngdala the
Zimbabwean farm lord, one of the major victims in the land reform crisis in
Zimbabwe. You might have read or heard about it. We obtain your contact
privately and decided to contact you in view of your profession and
confirmed reliability.
Our country Zimbabwe is in a near civil war with no end in sight. The
President Robert Mugabe had introduced a new land reform act meant to
deprive and relocate all the major Farms in Zimbabwe. This has resulted
in the Zimbabwean war veteran and black mob killing, looting and
displacing the entire major farms in Zimbabwe. Thousands have been killed and
my husband and my three children are among the victims, as we own one
of the biggest modern farms in the Southern Africa region. Before my
husband was murdered in cold blood, he traveled to South Africa due to the
rage and killing and deposited the sum of USD$30.000.000.00 (Thirty
Million United States Dollars) in a security company in South Africa, it
was deposited as a family valuable to avoid unnecessary attention and
high demurrage payment as this money was actually meant for the
development and building of an ultra modern farms in Southern African region
with all its machineries, but he did not live to accomplish this dream.
Faced with this situation, I ran to South Africa with my remaining
family where we are currently residing as political Asylum.
Now, to claim this fund (USD$ 30.000.000.00) from the security company,
we will require your candid assistance as a foreigner to retrieve this
fund and subsequently plan for a profitable investment where part of
this fund could be invested in.
Please do understand that there is no risk of any kind involve in this,
as all modalities are already in place for a successful conclusion of
this transaction. All that we require of you is your reliability and
trustworthiness not to take advantage of our vulnerable position in this
matter. We have resolved to reward you with 15% of the total sum after a
successful completion of the business transaction, 5% will be to offset
every expenditure that we might incure as a result of this transaction,
70% will be for proposed business investment and 10% will be used to
purchase country home for me and my son Frank. This money is all we have
left for my remaining family and me. I am presently on a sick bed; my
ill health is due to the trauma from what I have been through. More so I
will need your assistant to help us migrate over immediately this fund
is transferred to your account. We need not remind you of the
confidential nature of this transaction, please keep it as such. Contact my son
Frank with the email address below he is presently in charge due to my
ill health.

Yours faithfully,
Jennifer Ngdala.
