Subject: Request for Your Kindly Assistance
Dear friend,
Request for Your Kindly Assistance
-----------------------------------
With due respect and sincere good will, I write you this letter, which I
pray must be given quick attention as you receive it. I am Hanish Turay (20
Years) Son of late Dr. Simon Turay, who was violently murdered in the Course
of land dispute.
My late father Dr. Simon Turay was a rich farmer Zimbabwean murdered in cold
blood by the agents of the present ruling government of President Robert
Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition
party controlled by the entire minority during the land dispute.
My father has before his death deposited most of his finances with a bank in
(Republic Of Ghana) the total sum of US$11.5m (Eleven million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars, he kept this fund in a bank because of the
political crises in our country; this money was embarked investing in Ghana
Coco Board where he was awarded a contract with his foreign partner in
Mexico for purchase of new machinery and chemical for farmers in Ghana and
the establishment of new offshore farms in Lesotho, Swaziland.
The land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land
act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks
vehemently condemned the "ModusOperandi"adopted by the government. This
resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and some
political thugs.
Subsequently, it is against this background that I and my family who are
currently residing in THE (REPUBLIC OF GHANA) at Homeless Refugee shelters
Prevention camp have decided to transfer my father money and have it
deposited into a foreign account.
As the eldest of my father. I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking
a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the
knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our family wealth
hence we were granted asylum in Ghana.
As a reliable and reputable person I entrust my future and that of my family
into your hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free
and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
For your assistance, we are offering you 25% of the total sum, 75% for my
family .We wish to invest our part of the money based on your advice.
Finally, all we need from you is assurance that you will not sit on this
money when it finally gets into your personal account in your country.
Waiting to hear from.
Best regards,
Hanish Turay.
