FROM MR.MEKUSLEE WELSH,
Thank you for giving me your time; please
be patient and read my email,I sincerely
hope that after you read this mail you
will act fast and respond to my call.
My name is MEKUSLEE WELSH,35 years from
Zimbabwe.I am the eldest son of
late Eng.GERALD WELSH.
My father established his Tobacco farm
in Bivis.While he was in Hwali, a northern
city to negotiate for the sale of one of the
farm plantation that he was shot and
killed by Mugabe's supporters, As a result
of the current political instability and
war against farmers to claim all the
white-owned farms for his party members
and his followers. They as well burnt
everything in the farm.
Before his death,my father had deposited
with one Security Company in London,
the sum of $13m (THIRTEEN MILLION
United States Dollars).
This was money he planned to use in buying
new machinery and to set up a new
farm in Swaziland.
The money has been in the security company
in London just for safe keeping although
the courier company were not aware of the
content in the case because it was deposited
as personal valuable goods,I have all legal
documents with me as of when it was deposited
in a Security Vault for safe keeping.
I got your reference from the South African Exports
Promotion Council, where i am on asylum
because of continued harassement from Mugabe
and his supporters.Having noted the confidence
reposed on your person I became convinced of
your capability and goodwill to asist in securing
this money for an investment in your country and
to assist me with a letter of invitation that
will enable me secure a visa into your country
for residence .
If you agree to help, we will compensate you
sincerely for your candid effort in this
regard with $1.5 of the total amount of $13
Million US Dollars.
Also, when the money ($13 Million) is moved
into your discrete account, you will be allowed
to withdraw your share while 5% would be
for expenses, tax as your government may require.
The balance will be invested meaningfully for
us(me and my family)in your country. I have
perfected arrangements with the Trust Company
concerned and has been assured 100% risk free
and safe operation.
What I demand from you now is to arrange to
visit the Finance Company where this money is
being deposited and claim it as the bona-fide
owner.
You will be Godly rewarded for your candid
effort. send me your private
Phone/Fax number(s) and E-mail address(s)for
easier communication,full names,address.
Awaiting your response.Thanks and God bless.
With Regards,
MEKUSLEE WELSH.
