Subject: KINDLY ASSIST US.
Good day,
I know this letter will come as a surprise to you, but I would like you to give it consideration so as to help me and my family out from our present economic
predicament, which the entire family is facing this time around.
I am Rebecca Hills the first daughter of Mr. Allan Hills a British citizen who based in Zimbabwe and also a farmer in Zimbabwe. My father, Mr. Allan Hills who is now, under the Zimbabwean police custody is awaiting trial for not quieting his farm as directed
and instructed by the Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe that the white farmers in the country should vacate their farmland and go back to their country. But my father due to what he has invested in Zimbabwe and also on his farm refused quitting, it is because of this that the president instructed the police to lock
him and all his properties are now seized by the Zimbabwean Government. All effort made by my father's friend Mr. David Connelly, the Zimbabwean Minister for
Agriculture and my mother who is also a Zimbabwean citizen to release my father was to no avail.
My mother, Mrs. Recheal Hills knowing fully well the case of my father is a serious case revealed to me that my father Mr. Allan Hills deposited some money in a particular Security Company in United Arab Emirate. He did the deposit with a metal box and declared it family jewelries, so the security company never knows the content as money. The name of the security company will be given to you as soon we get your responds. She has given me all the necessary documents concerning
the deposited box and the money involved is Eleven million, Seven Hundred Thousand United States dollars (11.7m USD). My mother said I should search for a reliable foreigner who will help us to keep the money because of safety as instructed her by my father Mr. Allan Hills.
Its due to this that my mother advised me to look for a foreigner that will help us accommodate this money with good faith. Please know that due to
the nature of this transaction, I Rebecca Hills is now in Dubai to help for the successful transfer of the money. More information about this will be given to
you as soon as I receive your positive response towards this proposal.
Your urgent reply is needed towards this transaction through my mother confidential email address <mailto:Rechealhills_mother@yahoo.com.>Rechealhills_mother@yahoo.com. <mailto:Rechealhills_mother@yahoo.com.>
Best regards.
Rebecca Hills.
(on behalf of Hills family)
