Good day,
You will be surprised to read from me, but please consider this letter as a genuine request from a family in dire need of your humble assistance. Firstly, I must introduce myself. I am Kasmir Duru a citizen of Zimbabwe, but I am contacting you from Bangkok Thailand where I am now sickening political asylum. I got your contact from a business Directory in Bangkok Thailand chambers of commerce and Industry.
I am the son of John Duru, a wealthy farmers and senior politician with the opposition political party in my country, movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Our wicked President Robert Mugabe murdered my father, before I ran way from my country because I have become his next target to eliminate. My father was a fighter for justice and a moving force in the MDC,
a party wanting to end the several years of brutal Dictatorship government of President Robert Mugabe. You will read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting this web site: <http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html>
My father was accused of assisting the White farmers in fighting the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he was reported dead. The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body was never seen for proper autopsy, they buried him in the government cemetery. My father's associate Mr. Martin Olds a white farmer from Britain assisted me in fighting my father's death through the court and media.
The Government saw us as a big threat to them and decided to eliminate us. Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his house but fortunately, before they came looking for me, I received the news and I left the country through the border to South Africa to save my life, before my arrival here in Bangkok, Thailand.
Here is my reason for contacting you. My father deposited a huge sum of money in the total sum of US$9.6M (Nine Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) presently with Privet Security Company in Bangkok Thailand. My father kept this money in one trunk box in disguise as family treasures and could not bank them because of the situation in my country.
The government seized my father's farms and bank account before his arrest and murder. He told me everything concerning the funds while he was still in detention. This is why I need your assistance in securing the funds there in your country so that I can arrange on how to come over to your country for the investment of the fund, I am willing to offer you 25% of the US$9.6M (Nine Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)
for your assistance to provide an account where the funds will be transferred into and the remaining 75% is for my family for the investment. Please, let me know if you can assist me, so that I can give you more details on how we shall proceed. As I wait for your urgent response, Please treat this information as top secret.
Yours truly,
Kasmir Duru (For the Family)
