Subject: PLEASE HELP ME AND MY CHILDREN.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
ATTENTION:
I am highly delighted about being in contact with you
following a good recommendation made by my late husband before is death.
I am MRS JUMMAI MUSTAPHER. of Zimbabwe, the wife, to late minority right wing activist/environmentalist and leader of the movement for the survival of white farmers in Zimbabwe.
My husband MR.DAVID MUSTAPHER, who was killed during the on going war against white farmers in Zimbabwe .It was the desire of our president Mr. Robert Mugabe to claim all the land owned by white farmers and redistribute them to his party members and his followers, Our president ordered all white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and followers.
White farmers who refused to do this were either maimed or outrightly killed.My Husband was one of the biggest farmers in our country and because he did not support president Mugabe's ideas, president Mugabe's supporters invaded my husband's farms and burnt down everything in the farm, killed my husband, made away with a lot of items in my husband's farm, and seized his properties.
Before his death, my husband had deposited with one of the security company's in Europe, the sum of US $12.5 million,(Twelve million five hundred thousand United States dollars)Only.Due to the hostilities, harassment and arrest beeing visited on my family by the government of president Robert Mugabe and his agents, I am therefore asking for your kind understanding and assistance in the transfer process of this fund since the government of this country has made it very unbearable for us to live here.
The fund as instructed by my husband in his WILL shall be invested into meaningful and profitable investments in your country. It has been resolved by my family that the fund shall be disbursed as follows:5% for all local and international expenses incured by both parties in the transfer process.7% for the officials of the bank in
europe assisting in the transfer.18% for you as compensation for your effort and other assistance you may give in that regard.70% for me and my family, which shall be released to me as soon as i arrived your country with my children after the money has been remitted into your bank account.
However, for the remittance, it requires that you should send the following:1. Name and address of your bank.2. Account number to be used for the remittance.3. Your private tele, fax number and full address. As a young widow, with three (3) children to look after, you will need to give me sufficient assurance and gurantee that you will not sit on the fund when it is finally credited into your account.
I am sincerely optimistic that you will not betray the trust and confidence which I was made to repose in you considering the circumstnces in which my husband was brutally killed. I await your earliest reply.
Thanks and God bless you as you help us.
BEST REGARDS,
MRS JUMMAI MUSTAPHER.
