I found your contact from names directory when i was earnestly seeking for a reliable and capable foreign partner who can handle this transaction on our behalf. I am writing on behalf of Rober's family to inquire if you can assist my family undertake some capital investment in your country.I am Grace Robert, the only daughter of Late Mr.Robert Kenga, who was the chairman of the Farmer's co-operation in Zimbabwe. My Father was among the few black farmers that were murdered in cold blood by President Robert Mugabe Administration during the land dispute that occurred in Zimbabwe.Prior to my father's untimely death, having seen the rising hostilities of President Robert Mugabe's government in my country Zimbabwe, he deposited his life savings with a finance security company in Ghana. As a result of his death and uncontrollable crisis in my country Zimbabwe, I, together with my younger brother Michael, decided to seek asylum in Ghana where my father had deposited US$14.5 Million dollars.This money was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the establishment of new farms in Swaziland.Since our father is no longer alive to carry out his aims,We now want to use this money for investment in your country since we do not have anybody to assist us. Following the above, I am asking for your urgent assistance to transfer this money out of Ghana using very confidential and reliable means.However, this money was safely kept in a Security Company here in Accra Ghana before his death under disguise as precious items and nobody has any slight knowledge of what is inside the box deposited with the Security Company except the company. In other words, there is no risk involved and so do not hesitate to ask questions where necessary. All the documents covering the deposition of the money with the Security Company are intact with me.If you consider yourself honest, trustworthy and willing to assist us, please respond indicating your interest to enable me provide you with detailed information on how the transfer of this fund can be made to your account upon acceptance.I and my younger brother Michael,have agreed to offer you 15% of the total amount for the assistance and efforts you are going to put for the smooth and successfully transfer of the fund, also 5% will be for any incurred expenses.I look forward to hearing from you upon receipt of this mail.Best regard.Grace Robert.
