I got your esteem contact and particulars out of desperate search for a business minded personality in your country, who will honestly assist my younger brother and I to realize our inherited funds into his/her account and as well as to invest it into a lucrative business in your country.
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 being one of the few rich and successful black farmers in our country was also victimized because of his opposition to Mugabe's policies. And because he did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of items in my father's farm. This action was taken because my late father felt the growing tension on the farm issue, but I guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought their brutal and sudden death.
However with the assistance of observation, owing to the frightening but worsening crisis in my country, Zimbabwe, my father, before his untimely death deposited with one of the Security Company in Accra Ghana the sum of US$ 14 Million (Fourteen Million United States Dollars), with the sole aim of acquiring and buying some dredging equipments in setting up of a dredging firm with his partner. With his death and all his assets seized at home and accounts frozen, the family is now in a very difficult situation.
After the death of my father, my brother and I escaped to the Republic of Ghana where he had deposited the funds in one of Security Company as a family valuable property. And we were permitted to reside here as Political Refugees. So Because of our present and unpleasant condition here we decided to contact an overseas firm / individual that can assist us to move this funds out Of Ghana because, as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any financial transaction of such amount within Ghana, and also to assist in providing me and my brother a permanent residential permit in your country after the funds must have been transferred to your account.
We have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum of funds for your assistance, and the rest will be for my brother and I, to Invest in your country.
All I want you to do is to provide me with your full details including your readiness to assist me achieve this transaction for investment purposes in your country under your supervision. Please further details on how to achieve this transaction. Also, send your direct phone and fax numbers for further/easier communication.
