Subject: FROM MADAM RUBECA UGOMO
Dear ,
Please don't be offended or surprised to receive this
mail which is sent without you prior permission since
we do not know each other before now but we will meet
soon because of my situation.. I got your contact
through network online hence decided to write you
becausec of my desperate situation.
I am MADAM Rubeca, the wife of late TATE Ugomo ,
a farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land
dispute in my country.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President
Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform that
wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few
black farmers alike. This resulted to the killings
and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some
lunatics in the society during political electioins in
my country. In fact a lot of people were killed
because of this Land reform Act for which my husband
was one of the victims.
Before the death of my husband, he made a secret but
undisclosed deposit with a security Firm outside
Zimbabwe. He was a leading and successful Government
Contractor who was blessed. This was done when he
noticed the looming danger in Zimbabwe on land
policies. This amount was meant for the purchase of
new Agricultural machineries and chemicals for our
Farms establishment in Swaziland.
The consignment[3 sealed trunk boxes] was declared to
contain Gem Stones and Family Valuables shipped on
diplomatic cover to avoid customs detecting the actual
contents. The actual content is 46.5.M millions in
$100 bills. It is against this background that all my
family members fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives.
We are currently taking refuge outside my country
where we sought political asylum.
Uptill now there is no peace or safety in my country
and the family have decided to have the boxes
containing the funds moved out to a safer country by
the Security deposit Agency so that the funds can be
banked and invested in some profit yielding venture or
business.I must let you know that this transaction is
free from risk because I have all the necessary
documents. But we muist treat the issue with
relative secrecy and confidentiality in the interest
of my family for other reasons good reasons.
If you accept to assist to invest part of the funds,
do please contact our Lawyer, BARR DAVID NELSON at:
his mail bardavidnelson@myway.com for details.
of what is to be done to finalize all the arrangements
with the security company for the delivery of the
consignment to you after reaching a workable agreement
with you. He would conclude all arrangements with
you to clear the consignment[in which the funds are
secretly packed ).He would also explain our desire to
sharing of the funds on 70%/30% basis and, the
subsequent investment to be made in your country with
our share as you may advise.
Regards,
MADAM RUBECA. UGOMO
