Subject: LETTER FROM STELLA
FROM: Stella Sigcau,
Accra, Ghana.
21/4/2008
Hello dear,
My name is Stella Sigcau, the only daughter of Mr. Zac sigcau of Zimbabwe. I know this might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact. I got your address from names directory during when i was seeking for a reliable person, who will honestly assist me and my younger brother, Michael to realize our inherited funds into his/her account and as well as invest it into a lucrative business.
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, killing 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 his brutal and sudden death.
However, owing to the deteriorating crisis in my country, Zimbabwe, my father, before his unfortunate death had deposited with one of the Security Company in Accra Ghana in West Africa the sum of US$ 14 Million (Fortheen Million United States Dollars).
After the death of my father, i and my younger brother, Michael escaped to the Republic of Ghana where he had deposited the money in the Security Company as a family valuable property. And we were permitted to reside here as Political Refugees. Because of our present and unpleasant status here in the camp, we decided to contact you so as to assist us in moving this money out Of Ghana because, as an asylum seekers, we are not allowed to operate any financial transaction of such amount within Ghana.
We have agreed to offer you 20% for your assistance and 5% for the expenses, and the rest will be for me and my younger brother, Michael to Invest in your country.
All we want you to do is to stand as our next of kin/our father's foreign business partner so that this fund will be released to you for investment in your country under your supervision.
Please, reply for further details on how to achieve this transaction. Also, send your direct phone and fax numbers for further and easier communication.
I have to re-assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and should be treated with absolute confidentiality. All the vital documentation/certification that has to do with the origin of the fund is with me for security reasons. And I will send them to you when we progress. I guarantee you that this money is not government money, drug money, or from arms deals.
I will detail you more immediately I receive your acceptance response. You can reach me through my email address.
I hope this is the beginning of a prosperous relationship between us.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
Stella Sigcau.
