I wish to bestow this mutual trust in you, which I believe you will not
ignore or betray my godly bestowed trust in you; I also apologize in advance
for any in convenience this letter may cause you.
My name is Stella Ford, the eldest daughter of Mr. Nzamanu Ford of
Zimbabwe. I know this might be a surprise to you about where i got
your,contact,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 invest it into a lucrative business.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of
our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party
members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all
their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father is one of the best farmers in our country 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.Before his death, my father had deposited with one
of the SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY in ACCRA, GHANA, the sum of US$5.5M
after the death of my father, we decided to move to the Republic of GHANA
where he had deposited the money in the finance Company as family valuables.
So I decided to contact overseas firm /individuals that will assist me to
move this money out of GHANA because as asylum seekers we are not allowed to
operate any bank account We have agreed to offer you 35% of the total sum
for your assistance, and the rest will be for my brother and I, to Invest in
your country. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details
and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please
send me your confidential telephone number for easy communication.
I have to re-assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and should
be treated with absolute confidentiality. I guarantee you that this fund is
not government fund, drug money, or from arms deals.I will detail you more
immediately I receive your acceptance response. I hope this is the
beginning of a prosperous relationship between us.
Thanks and God bless you and your family
