Subject: BUSINESS PARTNER NEEDED.
My Dearest Valerie Scherrer,
Best Compliments of the season.
My name is Frank Zumah,the only surviving son of late Mr.Edward Zumah. who
until his cruel brutal murder by the assasins which the president of
Zimbabwe uses now is a prominent farmer well known in my country
Zimbabwe.His brutal murder emanated because of political reasons.
Before his untimely death by murder,he was one of the prominent men in
Zimbabwe that stood against the continous rule of president Robert Mugabe
because of high handedness and anarchy style of governance which is very
visible and much pronounced in Zimbabwe now which has even prompted many
prominent men in Zimbabwe to leave the country for their dear life.
President Robert Mugabe has been ruling my country since independence in
1980 and for the past eight years now things has not been the same for an
average Zimbabwean again.Because of the stiff and strong oppositions which
are daily mounted by most prominent men in my country which my late father
is one among them before he was murdered,he the president resorted in using
his hench men and assasins to lay siege on the number of people opposing his
continous rule.
It was in the course of this that he as well use his henchmen and powers he
weld in my coutry now to dispose all prominent men opposing him of all their
properties and belongings including their farms.My late father being a
prominent wealthy farmer was among those displaced in this process and even
got killed in the process together with the entire family.My surviving this
incursion was that I was in South Africa during the period my late father
and the entire household were brutally murdered by the men working for
President Robert Mugabe.
However before the death of my late father, he had told me that he left a
fortune in a Security Company here in South Africa which he kept for future
investment.He told me everything about the deposited money eight days before
his cruel murder as if he knew what fate had in future for him.The total
amount is USD25.5M.
It is this money that I wish to move out from the bank here in South Africa
as the only surviving son of my late father for proper investment for my
future sustainance hence my contacting you for your candid assistance by
providing me with a very good and reliable bank account for the transfer of
the fund where both of us will then use it for joint venture investment
project in your country which I believe is more safe unlike my country
Zimbabwe right now.
If however you do not wish for a joint venture project, you can as well tell
me how much percentage you may wish to take out of the total amount for the
assistance you provided in the course of the fund transfer into the bank
account you provided.My stay here in South Africa right now is temporary and
not even safe for me because of the closeness of my country Zimbabwe and
South Africa,hence my intentions to move this fund out from here and my
safety too.
Bear in mind that this appeal to you is purely a private affair between you
and me and as such should not be divulged to any third party till we finally
conclude it and I come over your country to meet you for the joint venture
project/sharing the money.
I will give you more details you might require or need to know upon my
recieving your immediate favourable response.
Thanks for your understanding and your candid assistance.
Best Regards,
Frank Zumah.
