Subject: FROM SOWOE GEORGE
Dear Partner,
It is with warm hearts that I offer my friendship, and my greetings,and
I hope this letter meets you in your best moods. It will be surprising to
you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally.
However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this business, which
I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity.My name is GEORGE
DOMINIC, the son of Dominic DUKAS, a rich farmer from Zimbabwe,murdered
inthe land dispute in my country. As led by my instinct, I decided to contact
you through the information of my research on the internet for an
upright and reputable individual.
The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed and honest assistancein
a business venture that is most pressing to me right now. Due to the land
and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe'sintroduction
of new Land Act Reforms wholely affecting the rich white farmers and the
few rich black farmers, all white farmers were asked to Surrender their
farms to the government for re-distribution and infact to his political
party members and my father though black was the treasurer ofthe JIBOUTI
FARMERS' ASSOCIATION, and a strong member of an opposition party that did
notsupport the president's idea. He then ordered his party members and the
policeunder his pay row to invade my father's farm and burn down everything
in the farm inlcuding livestock. They killed my father and took away a lot
of items from his farm.
After the death of my father, our family lawyer who is a close friend
of myfather handed us over "A WILL" documents with instructions from my
father that we should leave Zimbabwe immediately incase anything happened
tohim.The"WILL"documents has a certificate of deposit, confirming a cash
deposit totaling Eighteen Million five hundred thousand, United States Dollars.
{ U$18.5M } kept in custody for us in a security company in Europe.These
funds was packaged in two metal boxes and declared as personaleffects and
photographic materials so as to avoid detection by immigration/security
officals. it was to be used for the purchases of land, new machines and
chemicals for establishment of new farms in Botswana.Thisviolent and barbaric
act by Mugabe group has since led to the death of my beloved mother and
kid sister and other innocent citizens of my country.Ileft my country after
theburial of my father to South Africa to avoid being killed also by Mugabe's
loyalists.
I am currently staying in South Africa temporarily since this incident due
to lack of money. I need to transfer this money to an account in a country
Ican have peace of mind for good investment of this money in a viable venture,
this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner I can trust . I
am practically handicapped here and need your most urgent assistance in
retreiving the consignment from the security company.The safe-keeping of
this money is very important to me as that is all I have after the destruction
of all our valuables,homes and farming equipments in my country. This transaction
is genuine and should also be handled in the most confidential manner.
If you accept to assist me, all I needed from you, is to assist with
arrangements to claim the deposited sum from the security company in Europe,and
I will come over to your country for the investment of this money through
your advice and direction.For your assistance, I have two options for you.
Firstly, you can choose to have 20% of the total money as interest for helping
me sign off the money from the security company, or you can go into partnership
with me for the proper profitable investment of the
moneyin yourcountry. Whichever the option you chose, will be ccepted by
me since I have no option.I have also set aside 5% of this money for all
kinds of expensesthat may come our way in the process of this transaction,
and 5% for charity donation on conclusion of the business.This leaves 70%
of the total money for me for investment in any good business venture in
your country.But if you prefer to accept the 20% for your moral and financial
assistance then the balance will be left in the account in your country
for me after you have withdrawn your interest and all expenses settled.Please,
I want you to maintain absolute secrecy
and confidentiality in this business as you will agree with me that it should
be concluded soon.
I look forward to your quick reply while thanking you in advance as I anticipate
your confidential co-operation.I will need your private telephone and fax
numbers for easier and effective communication.
Yours sincerely,
Mr.GEORGE DOMINIC.
