Subject: Greeting's from Mrs.Rutendo Dorman Family
Dear Friend,
It is with heart full of hope that I write to seek your help in the context below.I am Mrs.Rutendo Dorman the wife of the late John Edward Dorman Who Was assassinated on 8th August 2002 in Harare.I have no doubt about your capacity and good will to assist me in receiving into your custody(for safety)the sum of $4.7 M (Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand dollars) Willed and deposited in my late husband's favour here in Europe.
During the Curent War against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the Support of our President ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our country,all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers,My husband who was one of the best farmers did not support his idea so the party members invaded my husband's farm and burnt everything in the farm and they killed my husband and made away with a lot of items in my husband's farm.
After my husband was killed,my children and I have no other option than to ran out of Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger.This money is currently deposited with a Finance and Security Company here in Europe.
Fortunately,our family lawyer had secretly protected the " personal will" of my husband and have strictly advised that the willed money be urgently moved into an overseas account of trusted foreign family friend without delay,for subsequent investment.
The government had earlier placed foreign transfer embargo on all our family members,seized all known local and international outfit of our business empire.The Situation has been so terrible that we are virtually living on the assistance of well wishers and few Sympathizers of my late husband. In view of this plight therefore,I expect you to be trust Worthy and kind enough to respond to this call to save my children and I from a hopeless future.
I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid effort in this regard With 20% of the total sum when finally received in your local bank account.
NB: Please treat as top secret, as we are here now as Refugee's/Asylum Seekers.Please contact my son through his email address below:

I look forward to your quick response.
Thanks and god bless you.
Yours truly,
Mrs.Rutendo dorman
(for the family).
