Subject: Please I need your help
Dear Friend,
I am Mr. Thai Dube, from Gwanda town in Zimbabwe, I quite believe on my own that you can be of great help in this regard.
The business involves the transfer of US$1,300, 000.00 (ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR) only into your account for save keeping, this fund is inherited from my late father who was assassinated by the president's (ROBERT MUGABE) aides in view of taking his Lands and property during the crisis early last year, which lead to the killing and banishing of foreign (white) farmers. After the death of my late father last year, I was approached by our family lawyer who told me that my late father had filed a document with him which stipulates his "WILL.
From the above, you would understand that my future depends on this money and as such I will be grateful if you can assist me in transferring this fund to your account overseas for my investments, for your assistance I have agreed to offer you 30% of the total fund.
And, I will come to your country for my investment over there because I can not go back to my country Zimbabwe for security reasons my mother will come over to meet me in your country as soon as possible.
Please Call me for more clarification.
Here are my details:
Name: Mr. Thai Dube.
