Hello Dear,
My name is RONALD KAITH, the elder son of Mr. DENNIS
KAITH. of Zimbabwe.
I know this might be a surprise to you about where I
got your contact
address. I got your address from the Internet during
the time I was seeking
for a reliable person, who will honestly assist my
younger sister and i
to realize our inherited funds into his/her account
and as well as invest
it into a lucrative business.
During the recent war against the farmers in Zimbabwe
from the supporters of
our President, Robert Mugabe to claim all the white
-owned farms to his
party members and his followers, he ordered all the
white farmers to
surrender all their farms to his party members and his
followers.
My father being one of the few rich and successful
black farmers in our
country was also victimized because of his opposition
to Mugabe's policies.
And because he did not support Mugabe's ideas,
Mugabe's supporters invaded
my father’s farm and burnt everything in the farm,
killing my father and
made away with a lot of items in my father's farm.
This action was taken
because my late father felt the growing tension on the
farm issue, but I
guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought
their brutal and sudden
death.
However with the benefit of hindsight, owing to the
looming but
deteriorating crisis in my country, Zimbabwe, my
father, before his
unfortunate death had deposited with one of the
Security Company in Accra
Ghana in West Africa the sum of US$14 Million
(Fortheen Million United
States Dollars).
After the death of my father, my sister and I escaped
to the Republic of
Ghana where he had deposited the money in the Security
Company as a family
valuable property. And we were permitted to reside
here as Political
refugees. So Because of our present and unpleasant
status here we decided to
contact an overseas firm / individual that can assist
us to move this money
out Of Ghana because, as asylum seekers we are not
allowed to operate any
financial transaction of such amount within Ghana.
We have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum for
your assistance, and
the rest will be for my sister and I, to Invest in
your country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your entire
details including
your readiness to assist me achieve this transaction
for investment purposes
in your country under your supervision, for further
details on how
to achieve this transaction. Also, send your direct
phone and fax numbers
for further/easier communication.
I have to re-assure you that this transaction is 100%
risk free and should
be treated with absolute confidentiality. All the
vital
documentation/certification that has to do with the
origin of the fund is
with me for the security reasons. And I will send them
to you when we
progress. And I guarantee you that this money is not
government money, drug
money, or from arms deals.
I will detail you more immediately I receive your
acceptance response.
I hope this is the beginning of a prosperous
relationship between us.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
RONALD KAITH
