Before my Father's death as if he saw what is going to happen in his life,he handed over to his Lawyer who stays in the Dubai City in United Arab Emirates(UAE) in the Middle East all the documents of money he deposited with a private security company attatched to South-African embassy in Zimbabwe,as personal effect in disguise amounting to US$28 (Twenty Eight Million US dollars).This fund is still in the (Security Company) in South-African where I am presently waiting to relocate after the successful transfer of the fund.
I want you to assist me to move this fund out from South-African for my Life investment in your country with the follwing agreement if suitable to you and if not let me know for endorsement.
1)To keep this transaction confidential as my father did not disclose this to his relation who might have thought otherwise on the fund regardless of my being the Next of Kin to the money.
2)To assist me invest my share of the fund into a viable business venture and take care of me financially from it until I finish my education.
3)To assist me and travel with you immediately this fund is out to where you wish for the sharing of the fund according to the agreed percentages and invest my share.
4)To present yourself as the bonafide owner of the fund so that there will be no trace of the movement of the fund from Africa to Dubai here as all the arrangement to make the changes with the security company has been arranged
5)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 try to sit on the funds once it is under your custody,or you try to blackmail me so you can take the money alone.
