January. 2007.
Dear Sir / Madam,
I know you will be surprise to read from me, but please consider this
letter as a request from a family in dares need of assistance. I am Mr. Allen Rolland , the only son of late Mr. Bernard Allen of Zimbabwe.
On behalf of my widowed mother Mrs. Glory Allen, I decided to solicit
for your assistance to move the sum of $9.5 million Dollars, inherited from
my late father to your country for an onward investment under your kind
control.
My father was killed during the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe
from the support of our present head of states President Robert Mugabe to
claim all the white owned farms to his NPF Party Members. He ordered all the
white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and
followers.
My father was the one of the best farms in our country and because he
did not support Mugabes` ideas, Mugabes supporters invaded my fathers farms
and burnt down every thing in the farm, killed my father and made away with
a lot of items in my fathers farm.
Before my father's death, he had deposited with one of the security and
finance companies in Libreville Gabon the sum of $9.5 million
Dollars. After the death of my father, I and my mother move to Libreville Gabon where my late dad had deposited the money with Security Company as
valuables.
Before my mother asked me to in search of a reputable person to assist us. We decided to contact an oversea firm or company that can assist us move this money out of Libreville Gabon, because my family is afraid of operating any bank account for now, since the present govt in my country is still after my father's remaining properties.
According to the families wish, we have agreed to offer you 25% of
total sum for your assistance, 5% has been mapped out for any expenses that may
be incurred in the course of this transaction and 65% will be for me and
my family to invest in your country.
From the above you will understand that the lives and future of my
family depends on this money, as such I will be very happy if you can assist
us.
Thank You.
Best regards,
Mr.Allen Rolland.
