Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
I hope that this email will find you in good health and sound mind. As we progresses,it is relevant that I tell you more things about myself and my family so that you will become acquainted with us.I am the only child of late Mr.David Gomani, a big time farmer from Zimbabwe.Due to the political problems in Zimbabwe and as a result of president Robert Mugabe's introduction of new 'land act reform' that is wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, all white farmers were asked to surrender their farms to the government for re-distribution,in fact to his political party members and my late father though black was a big time farmer and a strong member of an opposition party that did not support Mr Mugabe's policies.
President Robert Mugabe then ordered the police under his pay row to invade my father's farm.They killed my father and took away a lot of items from his farm and our house. After his death ,the Reverend of our church handed over an envelop which contains some documents with instructions from my father that I and my mother should leave Zimbabwe in case anything happen to him.Also found in the envelop was a deposit slip - confirming a cash deposit totaling ten million United States dollars [US$67m] deposited in a security company here in cote d`ivoire west africa.
This violent and barbaric act by Mr Mugabe has since led to the death of many innocent people.We were continually threatened after my father died.We resisted for a while, but when the danger became unbearable,we fled Zimbabwe with the help of my father's close friend from England also a farmer who was living in Zimbabwe but left with his family following this ugly development.We have tried to reach him through the contact he gave us but so far to no avail.To ascertain the authenticity of my claims,I would like you to have a look at information pertaining this political crisis from Internet on the following websites below.
