Subject: A LETER FORM MOHAMMED
DEAR ,
YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO RECEIVE THIS LETTER FROM ME,SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW ME PERSONALLY. THE PURPOSE OF MY INTRODUCTION IS THAT, I AM MOHAMMED THANI FIRST SON OF MOHAMMED MUSALLA, A CITIZEN OF ZIMBABWE WHO WAS MURDERED IN THE LAND DISPUTE IN ZIMBABWE.BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, MOHAMMED MUSALLA, HE HAD TOOK ME TO GHANA, WEST AFRICAN TO DEPOSIT THE SUM OF $15 000, 000.00 (FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS) IN A SECURITY COMPANY FOR SAFE KEEPING, AS IF HE FORE SAW THELOOMING DANGER IN ZIMBABWE THIS A MOUNT WAS MEANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW MACHINES AND CHEMICALS FOR THE FARMS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FARMS IN SWAZILAND.THIS LAND PROBLEM CAME WHEN ZIMBABWEAN PRESIDENT MR.ROBERT MUGABE INTRODUCED A NEW LAND ACT, WHICH WHOLLY AFFECTED THE RICH WHITE FARMERS AND SOME FEW BLACKS FARMERS. THIS RESULTED TO THE KILLING AND MOBILIASACTION OF THE SOCIETY. IN FACT, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS LAND REFORMED ACT FOR WHICH MY FATHER WAS ONE!
OF THE VICTIM.IT IS AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND, THAT I AND MY FAMILY WHO ARE CURRENTLY STAYING IN GHANA DECIDED TO TRANSFER MY FATHER'S MONEY TO FOREIGN ACCOUNT SINCE THE LAW OF GHANA PROHIBIT A REFUGEE (ASYLUM SEEKER) TO OPEN ANY BANK ACCOUNT OR TO BE INVOLVED IN ANY FINANCIAL TRANSACTION. AS THE ELDER SON OF MY FATHER, I AM SADDLED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SEEKING A GENUINE FOREIGN PARTNER WHO WILL HELP TO MOVE THIS MONEY FROM GHANA WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF MY GOVERNMENT WHO ARE BENT FROM TAKING EVERYTHING WE HAVE GOT. I AM FACED WITH THE DILEMMA OF INVESTING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IN GHANA FOR THE FEAR OF GOING THROUGH THE SAME EXPERIENCE IN FUTURE SINCE BOTH COUNTRIES HAVE SIMILAR POLITICAL HISTORY. MOREOVER, THE GHANA FOREIGN EXCHANGE POLICY DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH INVESTMENT AS A ASYLUM SEEKER.AS BUSINESSMAN, WHO I HAVE ENTRUSTED MY FUTURE AND OF MY FAMILY IN HIS HANDS, I MUST LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO!
NOTIFY YOU THAT WE HAVE DEICIDE TO GIVE YOU 15% OUT OF THE FUND.IF
YOU HOPE IN ASSISTING, DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME THROUGH THE ABOVE E-MAIL TO ME,
BEST REGARDS,
MOHAMMED THANI.
