Dear Beloved One.
Thank you for giving me your time;Please be patient and read my email 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 MAXWELL GIL NKOMO,the
eldest son of Dr.MARSHALL NKOMO, 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 republic 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
(maxwellgil@katamail.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.Please do not fail to call on telephone: +221 6641899.
