Dear sir/Madam,
Do not be surprised about this letter to you as I got your contact . My name is Godstime Nkomo the last born of late Joshua Nkomo the former
Vice President of Zimbabwe and Former President of Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU). However, I was studying in a boarding high school when I had to forcefully return for my father's burial. After the burial, my father's lawyer notified the family about his Will in their chamber. While going through the will, I discovered that my father used his position as the Former Vice President to acquire and make a deposition of US$ 23 M {Twenty-three Million United
States dollars} in a special Security Company in Amsterdam Holland with my name. I immediately had to travel to Europe to ascertain the
authenticity of the Deposit, which I have verified, and to seek asylum as a result of the interest of President Mugabe over my father assets. In Europe a financial Expert advised me on the best way to safe
guard and realize usefully this funds without any problems from the Dutch authorities.
This was to involve a foreigner, who will come down here to
Holland, open a non-resident Bank account where the money will be deposited for onward transfer to any nominated account overseas as my refugee status limit's my opportunities here. This is why I am making this contact with you now. You are to come down to Holland and assist me in getting the money out to your beautiful country where I and my
family can make further investment of the money and where I can live a better life and have a bettereducation as this is my life long dream. Here in Holland, The labor law act of Holland and my politically exiled life from President Mugabe and Zimbabwean Authorities has eliminated any chances of my owning an account freely.
