Subject: Mr.Ajoy Sonya.
Dear Friend,
Good day. I decided to contact you after I went
through my father’s file. Hence we confide in you. we
sincerely seek your assistance. I am Mr. Ajoy Sonya.
the only child of late Mr. Sonya Micheal. a big
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
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$6.4m] deposited in a Finance
Firm.
I want you to help me and put up claims on this
deposit, I would like you to have a look at
information pertaining this political crisis from
Internet on the following websites below.

guardians US$8 million. As to what we are exactly
seeking from you, we just need your unflinching
support and assurance that you will not disappoint or
let down the trust which we are about reposing on you.

of international transactions and investments. We
will offer you 25% of the fund for your assistance and
