Subject: GET BACK TO ME
Mrs. Aparna Bangura Hamenya
Blk. 2681, HLM II,
Cotonou- Benin.
Hello dear,
Compliments of the season. I am Mrs. Aparna Bangura Hamenya, a civil servant
from Zimbabwe. I got your contact from Chamber and Commerce office as I was
searching for someone who will help me out of my present predicament,
My late husband, Mr. Raymond Gatorgay Hamenya was the co-owner of an
Agricultural firm and his partner happens to be among the white farmers that
the dictator President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe took over their farmlands
and handed over to the blacks, despite all the pleas from the International
Community,and members of the commonwealth country's Most of the company's
assets,animal farms and milk industry were seized and confiscated by the
tyrant President.
My late husband was a British citizen of African descent and we both lived
in the company's staff quarters but our lives were threatened by agents of
President Mugabe. Since then, my husband and I have been living in exile in
Cotonou- - Benin . My husband died last August as a result of cardiac
arrest.
A substential amount of money was deposited in the finance house by my
husband before his death through the help of the International Red Cross
staff, because President Mugabe, placed order for the closure of the
accounts of all the white farmers and no one is allowed to transfer more
than ten thousand dollars abroad but luckily enough, I and my late husband
along with some other farmers were assisted through diplomatic means with
the help of the International Red Cross to send our money abroad.
The total Sum is 10.5Million dollars(US$10.500.000.),
The money is part of our savings and what my husband inherited from his late
father, from whom we took over the family business. All the documents to
the deposition of the money are with me and with the finance firm also for
Security reasons. I would like you to assist me to relocate the money to
your country into any account of your choice or keep it for me in your safe
custody until I am able to come to your country after my operation soon. I
would like to invest the money into any lucrative business, you deem
profitable and your assistance is highly needed in the areas of investment
feasibility studies.
Hence I need your cooperation to secure this deposit which is as it stands
now, the only hope of my survival as I have already lost my husband, coupled
with my sickness and the situation of insecurity. Life is no more the same
with me after all the lot I have gone through.Moreover, I wouldn't mind
paying you any amount you will charge me up to 20% of the total money for
your assistance in relocating and keeping the money for me as well as
helping me to carry out proper investment. You keep 80% for me pending
execution of the investment.
As a sick person, it will be difficult to handle this alone, hence I need
your immense help, coupled with your distinguished business acumen and track
record. Please, I would like you to come to my assistance, I am a lonely
widow and in utter confusion and distress.
This business is solely between two of us and should there be any need for a
third party, I will contact one of the Red Cross staff with whom I have
established some trust. I am scared that if any one gets to know about this,
he might take advantage of my helpless situation. to diverte this fund or
seat on the money without helping me to manageit as planed,so please if your
willing to help kindly contact me through my email above.
Sincerely your's,
Mrs. Aparna Bangura Hamenya
