FROM Miss. Stella Sigcau.//////////
- FROM: MISS.STELLA SIGCAU GOOD DAY,It impresses me a lot to write you this letter, which I believe will meet you in a good condition of health. If supportLineBreakNewLine My name is Stella Sigcau, the elder daughter of Mr. Zac Sigcau of Zimbabwe. I know this might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I wish to inform you about this. Though I have not meet with you before but I believe, one has to risk in confidence in other to succeed in life.Iam looking for someone who will honestly assist my younger brother and I to realize our inherited funds into your account and as well as invest it into a lucrative business.During the recent war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our President, Robert Mugabe to claim all the white -owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.My father being one of the few rich and successful black farmers in our country was also victimized because of his opposition to Mugabe's policies. And because he did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of items in my father's farm. This action was taken because my late father felt the growing tension on the farm issue, but I guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought their brutal and sudden death.However with the benefit of hindsight, owing to the looming but deteriorating crisis in my country, Zimbabwe, my father, before his unfortunate death he deposited with one of the Security Company in Accra Ghana West Africa the sum of US$32. Million.After the death of my father, my brother and I escaped to the Republic of Ghana where he had deposited the money in the Security Company as a family valuable property. And we were permitted to reside here as Political Refugees. So Because of our present and unpleasant status here we decided to contact an overseas firm / individual that can assist us to move this money out Of Ghana because, as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any financial transaction of such amount within Ghana.We have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, and the rest will be for my brother and I, to Invest in your country.And I guarantee you that this fund is not government fund, drug money, or from arms deals. I will detail you more informations immediately I receive your acceptance response Yours faithfully Miss. Stella Sigcau.
