Subject: YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THIS INVESTMENT TRANSACTION
My name is Mr. Steven Kabbal, the son of Mr. Terry Kabbal of Zimbabwe.
It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address; I got it
from the net. Don't be worried because I am contacting you in good
faith.
During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the
supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned
farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender
their farms to his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he
did not support the President political ideology, the president
supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt down everything, killed
him and confiscated all his investments.
After the death of my father, my mother and I with my younger sister
decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives. We took
along with us the money my father kept in the safe in my mother's house
which amounted to the sum of US$22M (TWENTY TWO MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS) to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) where we have deposited it as
personal valuables in a private Security Company for safekeeping.
Because of our present status (living without residential permit), my
mother and I are seriously looking forward to having an overseas partner
that will assist us with the convenient and legal transfer of the funds
out of Dubai ( United Arab Emirates).
If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money
to your country, we will offer you 20% of the total fund, and 5% of the
total will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this
transaction. 75% will be for my family to invest in your country under
your supervision.
For detailed information, you can contact me direct
I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our correspondence.
Your immediate response will be highly welcomed and upon your reply ,please
furnish me with your full contacts address and telephone numbers for
easy communication.
Best Regards,
MR.Steven Kabbal.
(for the family)
