Subject: Hello aken ; FROM MR.PASCAL THABOH !!
From;Mr.Pascal Thaboh and Family,
Lome. Republic of Togo.
00228- 9178792.
Dear Friend,
Good day.This very request should come as a surprise to you.But it is because of the nature of what is happening to me and my family urged me to contact you, and I quite understand that this is not the best way to contact you because of the nature of my request and the attention it requires.
My name is Mr.Pascal Thaboh, the second son of Mr.Smith Thaboh, of Beithbridge Zimbabwe.At the height of the political crises in our country,in which the white farmers in our country were slained and ripped off their belongings by the supporters of our president,Mr.Robert G.Mugabe,in their efforts to reclaim all the white owned farms in our country,my father and my elder brother were brutally slained to a painful death on the 13th of November,2002, in their struggle to protect some white farmers who ran to take refuge in our house.My father,during his life on earth was a prominent business man who trades on diamond and gold from some foreign countries .He publicly opposes the crude policies and crime against humanity on the white farmers by Mr.Robert Mugabe and his followers,which they enforced media law restrictions to protect their wicked acts.That not being enough,the president and his followers after winning the last undemocratic elections decided to block and con
fiscate all accounts and assets of our black indigenes[that included my fathers assets and accounts] who opposed his policies and rendered support to these white farmers,along with the assets of these white farmers themselves.I therefore decided to move my mother and younger sister to the Republic of South Africa,where they presently stay without anything and without any source of livelyhood.
During my fathers life on earth,he had deposited the sum of Seven Million and Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars[$7.400.000.00], with a Finance Company in the Republic of Togo for a cash and carry Diamond and Gold business with some foreign business customers, which he never completed before he met his untimely death on that faithful day.In view of this and as the only surviving son of my father,and with the present clamp down,killing and confiscation of his assets as one of those who rendered support to the white farmers in our country.
I therefore humbly wish to inform you of my intentions to use your name and adress in making sure that this fund is lifted out of Africa finally to the Europe Ofiice of the Finance Company.And also seek for your honest and trustworthy assistance to help me clear and accommodate this money before it is dictated out and blocked by the present Mugabe's regime.I am at present here in Republic of Togo trying my best to finalise the smooth lift out of this Fund. I am also with the valid document covering this deposit.
Now this is what I actually want you to do for me;
1. I want you to be presented to the Finance Company as the person I contacted to assist my family for this purpose, with whose name and adress myself and my mother will legally recommend and forward to their office here in the Republic of Togo as the person that will clear and accomodate this money for my family .
2. To finally assist me in accommodating and managing this money in any lucrative business in your country for at least three years.
Please,I hope you will grant and view this very request with favour and much understanding of our situation now,and will be a very honest and reliable person to deal with.And also bearing in mind the confidential nature of this my request,I emphasize please that you keep every bit of it to yourself so as to protect my familys future and yourself rendering this help.
Thanking you in anticipation of your response.
Best Regards
Mr. Pascal Thaboh and family.
