Investment proposalFrom: Kelvin Old,
Dear Sir,
First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction and I pray that my decision to contact you will be given genuine approval. I wish to use this opportunity to introduce myself to you. I am Kelvin Olds from Zimbabwe. I write you to know my desires to invest in your country; I am the first son of Martin Olds, who was a vocal member of the farming community. During the recent war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our President, Robert Mugabe to claim all the white -owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.My father was murdered on 18 April 2000 in the family farmhouse at Nyamandhlovu, 500 kms (300 miles) south of Harare, by President, Robert Mugabe squatters who had turned up to occupied his farm the land.
Before his death he told to me about the box containing $18.5 million U.S Dollars to look after my self and my Mother and shouldn’t go to Zimbabwe for my safety. Why my father deposit the fund in the security company in Ghana is for safety with intention to buy farming Equipment. Presently, my mother, my sister and I are here in are in the UK refugee camp on political asylum. See more of the story at the site bellow: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/818766.stm
Therefore I want you to lecture me on how best we can invest this money in your country and buy a house when I come there. My father told me it is dangerous to invest this money in Africa to due to its bad economy and political instability facing Africa countries that is why I want to invest in abroad. For your foreign assistance my mother and I have agreed to offer you 15% of the total amount of the money. We have all the vital documents covering the deposit fund and the ownership which I can send to you through fax on request. NOTE: I have never disclosed this to any person apart from you, so you have to keep this matter very confidential. Send me your Private phone and fax numbers for more information.
Best Regards,Kelvin Olds.
