Dear Respectful One,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through the internet and
the choice of your country. I wish to
introduce myself. My name is Mr.terry frank, the son of Mr.Terry Ford of
Zimbabwe. During the current crisis against
the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to
claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white
farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.
You
can view website to see the kind of brutal and wicked government we have in
Zimbabwe:

My Father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did
not support the President political
ideology, the president supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt down
everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. Before this
unpleasant incident, my mother and Terry had already visited holland to
deposit the sum of five Million US Dollars (US$5,000,000.00) in a safe
diplomatic Security Company in netherland holland
Note i have the certificate of deposit in my custody.
After the bloody incident, we all had to escape to london for the safety of
our lives. Where we have been living
since then as political refugee. I am seeking for a reliable foreigner who
can assist us in moving this funds
out for safe banking and profitable investment.
Honestly I am telling you all this just because I don't want to invest this
funds in london due to my status here as
a political refugee and moreover I don't want to take risk because this
funds is all that I and my mother are
depending on.My father was issued with a certificate of deposit when he
deposited the funds with the security
company and i have the document with me.
We are seriously looking for a trusted partner that will assist us with the
convenient and legal claimant of the
consignment containing the funds and onward transfer of the funds out of
holland. Your help will be appreciated with 25% of the total fund while 5%
of the total will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this
transaction. And 70% will be for my family. We will be happy if you will be
able to invest our share in your country under your
supervision. I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our
correspondence. Your immediate response will be highly welcome I hope to
hear from you soon. Please include your phone and fax number in your
response for better communication. God bless you and your family.
