Subject: From Mr and Mrs Mputa
Good Day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since we have not met each other before but i believe God's Way is different from that of Human Beings,I am Mr Mputa Peters,one of the foreign Farmers in Zimbabwe. I was furnished of your profile from a proffesional database found in the internet.My trauma started when Zimbabwean president,Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new land reform act, which wholly affected the rich white and black farmers. This results to killing,Rapes and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.In their bid to forcefully chase us out of the country after i led the farmers to protest the action,the next night,my house was invaded with cutlasses and sharp objects.I was battered with matchets,Robbed of monies and beated to coma even my wife was raped by the Invaders.
In the height of this crises,i took my family to Accra - Ghana where i had deposited monies with a private security company amounting to $10Million Dollars meant for my mechanised farming equipments before the crises erupted.While depositing the monies as i forsaw the looming dangers the government policies posed to foreign farmers,I declared the deposit contents as Family Treasure to the security Company in Disguise for security reason.I hoped to come and withdraw this my last hope of money to take my family out of this Africa before we met our faith.As We arrived Accra-Ghana and proceeded to the Refugee Camp to declare Assylum as our travelling documents were destroyed to avoid any trace since Mr.Mugabe has penciled me and my family members down to kill.We were subjected to HIV/AID test as the criteria for entry into Refugee Camp.When the result came out,we were tested positive as a result of the rape meted to my wife by the invaders.I cried profusely as we were not al
lowed into the Camp again rather we were taken to the Aids Victims Rehabilitation Unit.I decided to contact you when the chief medical director told me and my wife that our days are numbered and the stigma as an Aids Victims nearly propel me to commit sucide but there is no object around us.I therefore decided to make the heir while the sun shine by contacting you as a foreigner whose identity will not raise any eyebrow to kindly contact my only son Mr.Daniel Mputa whom i have given all the documents of the deposit to keep untill i find someone who will stand as the beneficiary of the deposit since i declare the deposit status as "OPEN BENEFICIARY" and daniel as the next of Kin.Alot of people have been killed because of this land-reform act.You can hook up to CNN news every day for what is happening in that wicked country by the the tyrant Mugabe or visit the following sites for reference:www.mdczimbabwe.org ,http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africaF918781.stm,http://news.bbc.co. uk/1/hi/wor ld/africa/715001.stm,http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa /1063785.stm .I Contacted you among other contacts found in the database owed to the divine conviction after series of prayers and fasting that you are going to be sincere and honest to my family.As an investor whom I will entrust my Children's future in his or her hands ,I must let you know that this
business is completely 100% risk-free. What you are required to do is to come down to Accra-Ghana where both of you will go to the security company to receive the deposit and proceed to the bank to lodge the fund for onward transfer into your designated account abroad.Note: I contacted you on the following agreement/Reasons;
1.To keep this transaction secret and confidential due to our condition rightnow.
2.To safeguard the fund in your account and take my son and his little sister to your country where they will be under your care and finish their Education before you will release their share of the fund to them.Guide them on where they will invest their share to avoid wrong investment as this is their only hope in life to survive.
3.To present yourself as the beneficiary of the deposit so that the deposit can be released to you.
4. You will be transparent, honesty and diligence and will not be greed to divulge from the original percentage offered to you thereby requesting for increase which might lead you to sit on the funds once
it is under your custody, or you try to blackmail them so you can take the money alone.
5.Your percentage for your assistance will be 30% while 65% will be for my family and 5% will be set aside to defray any incidental charges that may be incurred in the course of the transaction.
Due to my present predicament now,i have instructed my son to use 10% of their share to set up AIDS VICTIMS Welfare Center where patients will be well treated and loved to be able to stay longer and campaign against rapes.please make sure he do this for me in future.
Incase you will not be interested to handle this matter,kindly inform me to enable me look for another person.Delete this message and never expose it to the third party due to the sensitivity of this letter.Incase i did not reply you again then understand that i have dropped death then you will mail my son your response to my son's private email:mailtodan@mail2dan.com to detail you and forward the documents to you if need be.Once i am dead please pray for my soul and take all Aid Victims as your brothers and sisters as some of them became victims by rape.If you wish to contact my son through phone.here is his number : +233 244-468026
