Good Day,
I know how surprise this letter will come to you, But I would advice that you consider it as a request from a family in dare need of assistance. I am Mr. Thai Dube of Gwanda town in Zimbabwe. Your contact information came to me from your country's trade journal during my search for a reliable and God fearing person that can assist me and I quite believe on my own that you can be of great help in this regard even if I am not acquainted to you before. The business involves the transfer of US$8,000,000.00 (Eight Million United States Dollar) only into your account for safekeeping. This fund is inherited from my late father who was assassinated by the president’s ROBERT MUGABE aides in view of taking his lands and property during the crisis last year, which lead to the killing and banishing of foreign (white) farmers.
After the death of my late father (A day I can never forget), I was approached by our family lawyer who told me that my late father had filed a document with him which stipulates his "WILL”. In the "WILL" he specifically pointed and I quote, Son, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of US$8,000,000.00 (Eight Million United states Dollar) which I deposited with a Security Company in Johannesburg South Africa with all the documents filed by our lawyer. In case of my absence on earth caused by death only, you should solicit for a foreigner that can assist you to transfer the money out of there (South Africa) for investment purposes, I have saved this money to make the future of my family, that was immediately the government started eyeing my business and involvements with the white farmers, Please take good care of your mother and yourself; we shall meet to part no more. From the above, you will understand that our future depends on this money and as such I will be grateful if you can assist us in transferring this fund to your account overseas for our investments. For your assistance we have agreed to offer you 25% of the whole fund, 5% for any expenses that may be incurred while the remaining 70% will be kept for us under your care till our arrival in your country.
God bless you for your anticipated understanding and co-operation. Best regards Mr. Thai Dube.
