Dear Sir/Madame
Complements of the day.Grace, Peace and love to you. I hope my letter does not
cause you too much embarrassment as I write to you in good faith. Please excuse
my intrusion into you business life.
My name is Morga Malume the elder son of Mr.Dennnis Moyo from the Republic of Zimbabwe. During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the
supporters of President Robert Mugabe,in his effort to chase all the white
farmers out of the country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their
farms to his party members and his followes.
My father was one of the most successful farmer in my country, but he did not
support the idea of dispossessing the white farmers of their land. Because of
this, his farm was invaded and burnt by government supporters. In the course of
the attack, my father was killed, and the invaders made away with a lot of items
from my Father’s farm. And our family house was utterly destroyed. My mother died
too out of heart attack. Before the death of my father, he drew my attention to
the sum of US$27 MILLION(Twenty-Seven Million Dollars only)Which he deposited with a Security Company in London when the crisis was coming up.
My sister and I decided to move out of Zimbabwe for our own security, because our
lives were in danger. We decided to move toEngland where my father deposited this money. Till date, the security company is not aware of the content of the
consignment because my father used his diplomatic immunity as at That time to deposit the consignment as important personal valuables.
I decided to have contact with overseas person/firm who will assist me to move
the money out of England. This becomes necessary because as political asylum
seekers, we are not allowed to own or operate a bank account. If you accept this
proposal, you shall receive 40% of the entire amount for assisting us to move
this money out, 55% of this amount shall be for us, and the remaining 5% shall be
mapped out for expenses incurred in the course of the transaction.
I want you to immediately confirm your interest in the project via my private email address morgamalume@katamail.com as soon as I get your response, I will give you
more details on how we can
proceed.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.
Morga Malume
