Beloved One.
Thank you for giving me your time;Please be patient and read my
to you, this letter might come as a surprise to you,and you could be
wondering where I got your contact. I got your address through a
personal
search on the internet for someone relaible and trustworthy,so i
decided to
contact you for an assistant, which I do hope you will take your time
to
consider. My name is Mr George kem, the eldest son of Dr.ENAGUA kem,
from
Zimbabwe.During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from
the
supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned
farms
for his party members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers
to
surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers. My
father
was one of the biggest farmers in our country and because he strongly
opposed Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm
and
burnt everything in the farm, killing my father in the incident and
made
away with a lot of items in my father's farm.
Before my father's death,he had made deposite with a Security Company
in
Europe, the sum of US$12.5(Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars).He intended to use the money in buying new machinery
and to
set up a new farm in Swaziland. After the death of my father,l decided
to
escape with my other siblings to another country because of continued
harassment and threat from Mugabe and his supporters,we could only get
as
far as the dipromatic of SENEGAL where we are now seeking political
refuge. As
the eldest man in the Family, i have been making contact with the
company to
see how i can make the claim without going there but to no avail,i was
told
that the claim can only be made by me or my father's representative in
thier
office.This is the reason why i decided to contact you to assist us
since I
am not able to travel outside this
country particularly to Europe where the company is located.
I am seeking for your assistance to help us go to the security company
as
our father's representative for the claims, For your role in this
transaction,my family and i have agreed to offer you 30% of the total
sum
for your assistance, 5% will be set-aside for any expenses that maybe
incurred in the course of this transaction and the remaining 65% will
be for
my family and i to invest in any lucrative investment.All I want you to
do
is to help me finish this transaction and at the sametime help me to
invest
some of our share of the money in a lucrative business in your country.
Please get back to me if you can be of assistance via my private email
address (g_kem2006@yahoo.com). for better discussion or should incase you
have
any questions you would like to ask,please feel free to contact me any
time
via email. Thanks and God bless as i will be looking forward to your
swift
and positive response.
Best regards,
MR.GEORGE KEM
