DEAR SIR/MADAM,
URGENT ASSISTANCE
YOU MAY BE SURPRISE TO RECEIVE THIS LETTER FROM ME SINCE YOU DO NOT
KNOW ME PERSONALLY. THE PURPOSE OF MY INTRODUCTION IS THAT I AM MR.
LAMF WILLIMAS THE FIRST SON OF DR. MANDO WILLIAMS, WHO WAS RECENTLY
MURDERED IN THE LAND DISPUTE IN ZIMBABWE. I WAS FURNISH WITH VIABLE
INFORMATION FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTRE HERE IN AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
AND DECIDED TO WRITE YOU.
BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, HE HAD TAKEN ME TO JOHANNESBURG TO
DEPOSITE THE SUM OF-FIFTEEN. FIVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS
(US$15.500.000.00) IN A SECURITY COMPANY THAT MOVE THIS MONEY DIPLOMATICALY
TO THE NETHERLANDS, AS IF HE FORESAW THE LOOMING DANGER IN ZIMBABWE. THIS
MONEY WAS DEPOSITED IN A BOX AS DIPLOMATIC ITEMS OF HIGH VALUE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF TRANSPORTATION AND TO AVOID MUCH DEMURAGE FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY.
THIS AMOUNT WAS MEANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW MACHINES AND CHEMICALS FOR
FARMS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FARM IN SWAZILAND.THIS LAND PROBLEM CAME WHEN
ZIMBABWE PRESIDENT MR. ROBERT MUGABE, INTRODUCED A NEW LAND RESOLUTION THAT
WHOLLY AFFECTED RICH FARMERS MAINLY WHITE AND SOME FEW BLACK FARMERS. THIS
RESULTED TO THE KILLING AND MOB ACTION BY ZIMBABWE WAR VETERANS AND SOME
LUNATICS IN THE SOCIETY.INFACT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS
LAND REFORMED PROGRAM WHICH
MY FATHER WAS ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
IT IS AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND THAT I AM CURRENTLY STAYING IN
AMSTERDAM AS A REFUGEE AND TO SEEK FOR A TRUST WORTHY INDIVIDUAL/FIRM TO
ADVICE ME IN MAKING THE RIGHTFULL INVESTMENT AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE FOREIGN
ACCOUNT (S) WHERE THE FUNDS WILL BE LODGE INTO. SINCE THE LAW OF THE
NETHERLANDS PROHIBIT A REFUGEE (ASYLUM SEEKER) TO OPEN ACCOUNT OR TO BE
INVOLVED IN ANY FINANCIAL TRANSACTION. AS THE ELDEST SON OF MY FATHER, I AM
SADDLED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SEEKING A GENUINE FOREIGN ACCOUNT WHERE
THIS MONEY COULD BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF MY GOVERNMENT WHO
ARE BENT ON TAKING EVERYTHING WE HAVE GOT. I AM FACED WITH THE DILEMA OF
INVESTING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY BECAUSE THE NETHERLANDS
FOREIGN EXCHANGE POLICY DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH INVESTMENT FROM ASYLUM SEEKERS.
AS REGARDS YOUR COMMISSION/REMUNERATION, I AND MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY
HAVE DECIDED TO OFFER YOU 25% OF THE TOTAL SUM IMMIDIATELY AFTER WE
CLEARED THE CONSIGNMENT FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY VAULT AND ALSO SET ASIDE
5% FOR ALL YOUR EXPENSES (E. I TELEPHONE BILLS, TRAVELLING EXPENSES, HOTEL
BILLS AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES).
NOTE: I SHALL COMMIT HALF OF MY SHARE OF THE TOTAL SUM INTO A JOINT
VENTURE PROJECT PREFERABLY IN THE PURCHASE OF REAL ESTATE OR OTHER
PROFITABLE BUSINESS VENTURE. BE ASSURED THAT YOU STAND NO RISK OF ANY KIND.
AS SOON AS I GET YOUR CONSENT, I WILL FURNISH YOU WITH THE DETAILS AND
CONTACT OF THE SECURITY COMPANY AND A FACE-TO-FACE MEETING WILL BE
ARRANGE IN ORDER TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER.
PLEASE. CONTACT ME WITH THE ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBER OR E-MAIL
ADDRESS, WHILE I IMPLORE YOU TO MAINTAIN THE ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY
REQUIRED IN THIS TRANSACTION.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
MR. LAMF WILLIAMS.
