Subject: ASSISTANCE NEEDED
*Dear Sir/Ma,*
**
I am *MR.STEVEN KANI *from Kenya the first Son of *MR UHURU KANI* who was
murdered early this year in the political dispute in Kenya by the agents of
the ruling government of President MWAI KIBAKI you must have heard his
alleged fight against political oponents.
My Father was among the few black Kenyan rich farmers murdered in cold blood
by the war veterans backed by the government. Before the death of my Father,
he deposited the sum of *US$15M (Fifteen Million United State Dollars)* With
one of the security company in Southern Africa, as if he knew the looming
danger in Kenya. The money was deposited as a gem and precious stones to
avoid much attraction & demurrage from the security firm. The money was
earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and
the establishment of new farms in Tanzania and Swaziland before the
regretted incident.
This resulted to rampart killing and Mob actions. My mother and I are
staying in South Africa now as Asylum seekers, which have not been
beneficial to us; I have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country
where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount
of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in
future since both countries have the same political policy and also law does
not permit us to investment hence we're refugees.
I must let you know that this business is *100%* risk free and the nature of
your business does not necessarily matter, you can help us if you wish. I
and my family have agreed to give you 2*5% *of the total *USD15M,* *5%* will
be mapped out for all expenses that maybe incurred during the transfer and 7
*0%* will be for me and my family's investment in your country. Therefore if
you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance, endeavor to
reply through my mums private mail Address:
stevenkani000@yahoo.com
* MR STEVEN KANI*
for more brief clarifications. I also need your private mobile, telephone
and fax numbers for easy communication. Remember; this is highly
confidential and the success of this business depends on how secret it is
kept. Expecting your reply soonest.
*Best regards, **
MR.STEVEN KANI (FOR THE FAMILY)*
