Attention,
Don't be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don't know me in person. For the purpose of introduction I am Engr. mike mour, from Zimbabwe the son of Late Mr. John mour, who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe by the agents of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for the opposition MDC PARTY led by the minority white farmers.
My father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the war veterans backed by the government. Before the death of my father, he went to South Africa to deposit the sum of US$12.8Million (Twelve Million Eight Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) With one of the security company in Johannesburg South Africa, as if he knew the looming danger in ZIMBABWE.
The money was deposited as Gold and Diamond worth US$12.8Million, to avoid much dumurrage from the security firm. The money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This Land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act, Which wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the Modus operandi adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampart killing and Mob actions. My mother,Mrs elizabeth mour. and I and my two kid sisters are now staying in Johannesburg South . We have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it. we are having a problem of investing this amount of money in South Africa for the fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have the same political policy/law which, does not allow investment hence we are seeking for an asylum or refugee here. I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
So if you are willing to assist us, my mother and I have agreed to give you 20% of the total money 75% will be for my family to invest in your country through your assistance, the remaining 5% will be mapped out to be used in paying back whatever expenses encountered by both parties during the cause of transfering this fund to your account(For The Family in your country. Therefore if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance, endeavor to reply through my mail. I also need your private telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Remember that this is highly confidential and success of this business depends on how secret it is kept. Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards
Engr. Mike mour
{for the family}
