Dear Friend,
Before you proceed reading my mail pls do go through this web page for
better understanding with full details :
http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don't know me
in person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR.SAMUEL OLDS, a
citizen of Zimbabwe, the son of late MR.MARTIN OLDS,Farmer who was murdered
in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE.
I got your contact through the Ghana Information Exchange Online,and then I
decided to write you. My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich
farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of
President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwean
opposition party.
Before the death of my father, he deposited the sum of Five Million US
Dollars ($5M) with a security company in Malaysia when he went to MALAYSIA
to purchase his farm machinery equipment, as if he foresaw the looming
danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as a gem / precious stone to
avoid seize and much demurrage from the security organization.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for
the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This
land problem arose when President MUGABE introduced a new land Act, which
wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently
condemned the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampant killing and mob actions. I and my family who are
currently staying in ACCRA GHANA as a refugee asylum seeker,have decided to
transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it. You will
read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting. This
website:http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in GHANA but
the financial law and Regulations of the Republic of GHANA, do not permit
us financial rights to such huge sum of mone y. In view of this, I cannot
invest the fund in GHANA. Moreover,the GHANA monetary policy/law does not
allow such investment by an asylum seeker or refugee.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature
of your business does not necessarily matter. So if you are willing to
assist us, I and my family have agreed to give you 20% of the total money,
40% will be for a joint business venture I will be doing with you and
another 40% will be for the family, which we shall also invest in your
country. Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed
assistance, endeavor to contact me through the above telephone or email
address. I also need your private telephone and fax numbers for quick
communication.
Expect your reply soonest.
Best regards.
Mr.Samuel Olds.
For the family.
