TERESTED TO INVEST WITH YOU
You
may be suprise to receive this email , despite that we don't know each
other before, well am sorry the way I contacted you based on my
business proposal. Am Mr Patrick Thabo, the first son of=A0 Dr Morgan
Thabo=A0 the former secretary to Movement For Democratic Changes in
Republic Of Zimbabwe. My father was one of the=A0 major leader and a
political philanthropist in my country Zimbabwe that fought against
democratic changes with current tyrant President Robert Mugabe. My late
father was murdered in a cold blood by the militants royal to Mr Mugabe
in the early hour of 12 June 2007 because of his active participation
in the democratic changes in my country Zimbabwe .
Meanwhile
before the incident that lead to my his death ,he secretly told me and
handed over some document that he deposited the sum of US$8 MILLION (
Eight Million United States Dollars) in a private security company in
United Kingdom under the supervison of of his Lawyer in London., which
he kept for his next presidential run=A0 and for our future investment.
Unfortunately, after his death, I moved to Jakarta Indonesia to seek
political Asylum first pending when I find a reliable partner that can
assist me in the investment of the fund in any lucrative business in
the world.
I have no knowledge of investment before and cannot
invest the money here as the government of Indonesia will not allow me
to invest without a partner due to my residential status here as a
refugee.
Am therefore asking that you assist me in transferring the
money for a proper lucrative business in your country=A0 once we ageed to
work together, I will call our family lawyer to instruct the money to
be transferred immediately for the investment., and=A0 we shall negotiate
your percentage in the investment of the total fund.
I awaits your call.
Regards.
