Subject: Assistance Needed
Dear Sir,
Difficulties encountered in efforts to establish a business abroad
necessitate this search for someone to assist me in securing and investing
the sum of USD48.9,000.000 (forty Eigth Million,nine hundrend thousand
USdollars)inherited from my father's business reserve.
I am the heir of a Zimbabwean family, my father was an agriculturist. He
became rich from his old-aged investment in agriculture and later was
victimized by President Robert Mugabe's land reform policy. He was
assassinated by unknown gunmen for defending his land ownership and siding
the minority white farmers.Before his death, my father foresaw the
insecurity of both our lives and property then decided to deposit the above
sum with a private finance and security firm in Ghana. This money has become
the only inherited property of our family since our home was burnt,and the
farmlands and machines seized yet the government and it's loyalists are
bent on making life difficult for us.
To summarise this traumatic story, my mother and I have decided to offer 25%
of the above sum to anyone who assists us to secure this funds overseas or
35% share for possible help on investing in any reliable venture. if you
would want to proceed under these terms,please reply for detailed
information. if you do not accept my offer,please in good fate treat with
utmost confidentiality. A quick reply with your name,telephone and fax
numbers for more confidential communication will be highly appreciated.
Yours Sincerely ,
Frank Kagoro.
