Dear sir,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal idea. I sincerely ask for forgiveness for i know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but this are my reasons of contacting you.
My name is Mr.Johnson Misumbi.I am a native of Zimbabwe.My father was formerly one of the advisers to the President of Zimbabwe,Robert Mugabe.During the preperation of this new election that the president won,he entrusted the sum of US$38.9Million in my fathers care for a deposit in one of the banks in Africa as he will use it to run his campaign and payment of his security guards in this coming election.
Before the compaign started,President Mugabe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC),Mr Morgan Tsvangirai visisted my father's office to seek for peace on the upcoming election and adviced for a change as to better the lives of an average citizen of Zimbabwe.
When Mr.President heared about the visit,he then beleived that my father have joined the opposition party and order for his arrest.He was shot by unknown gun men which we beleived that was the president arrengment.They rushed him to hospital and before he gave up,he told me that he deposited the sum of Thirty-Eight Million,Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only in one of the banks here in Africa and he gave me all the documents related to the deposit.He adviced that i should look for a genuine and trustworthy person who will assist me in transfering this fund out to his own account in overseas.He also let me know that i should also look for an investor so that he can help me for certain investments.He warned me not to let anybody from my family or country know about this to avoid been questioned by my people.
I am now seeking for your asssistance to help me in claiming this fund into your account and help me in some areas of investment so that i can take care of my mother and my younger ones.Can you help to invest part of the money in your country or abroad?Do you have any inestment idea?
Currently,I and my family ran out of Zimbabwe to REPUBLIC OF BENIN for our dear lives as my country is no more save for us to stay.
If you have any doubt about this,you can open BBC.COM about Africa,you will still see some news about the president and his killings just to succeed himself again which he has finally done.Read this from the bbc.com website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7480444.stm
If you are interested to claim this money,we will discuss about your own percentage and other information will be made known to you including the name of the deposited bank.
My assurance is that there is no risk whatsoever involved in this transaction.
I wait for your urgnet response through this private email address:johnsonm1@live.com
Thanks,
MR.JOHNSON MISUMBI
