Subject: I have a proposal for you,
Dear Sir/Friend,
I have a proposal for you, this however is not mandatory nor will i in
any manner compel you to honour it against your will.
I am MrJosef Omom A Citizen of Zimbabwe, but I am contacting you from
GERMANY here in EUROPE where I am now seeking political asylum.
I am the only son of Mr. Kenneth Momo,a wealthy farmer and Senior
politician with the opposition political party in my country;Movement for
Democratic Change [MDC].
My father was murdered by our wicked President,Robert Mugabe and I fled
my country because I have become his next target for elimination.
My father was a fighter for Justice and a moving force in the MDC
party;a party wanting to end the several years of brutal Dictatorship of
President Robert Mugabe.

My father was accused of Treason and also assisting the White farmers
in fighting the government.
Few weeks after his arrest,he was reported dead.
The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body was never
seen for proper autopsy,they buried him in the government owned
cemetery.
My father's associate Mr. Martin Olds; a White farmer from Britain
assisted me in fighting my father's death through the Court and media.
The government saw us as a big treat to them and decided to eliminate
us.
Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his house,but fortunately,before
they came looking for me,i received the news and had to flee through
the border to South Africa to save my life.
My arrival here in GERMANY still remains like a miracle to me.
Here is my reasons for contacting you,I am having a huge Sum of money
total $13.6Million(USD)presently lodge with a Security company in
ABDIJAN,COTE D´IVOIRE.
My father kept this money in one trunk boxe in disguise as family
treasures and Could not bank them,because of the situation in my Country.
My father's business, farms and banks account were Seized by the
government before his arrest and murder.
He told me everything concerning the funds while he was still in
detention and I have made several arrangements concerning the shipment of the
box out of Cote D`Ivoire because we cannot invest it there.
I was on the process when i fled the country. I need your assistance in
securing the funds there in your Country,so that I can arrange on how
to come over to your country to invest the fund.
Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission? If you can sponsor this transfer.
Please,let me know if you can assist me,so that I can give you more
details on how we shall proceed. As i wait for your urgent response.
Please for security reasons reply to my email address as follows.
josefomom@yahoo.com please treat this information as top secret.
Regards,
Mr Josef Omom
