Subject: PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP AND YOUR ASSISTANCES.
Attn:Please,
I humbly wish to seek your assistance in a matter that is very important and needs utmost trust and confidence. I am MRS HANNA.H. AHMED,the wife of Late MR.CLEMENT AHMED,who was recently murdered in the land disputein Zimbabwe. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my husband, he had deposited the sum of US28 million (Twenty Eight million United States dollars),in one of the private security vault under the custody of diplomatic agent, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box declared as Family Jewelries and Antiquities as to avoid raising any eye brow from the authority.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers.And this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my husband Late Mr.Clement AHMED was one of the victims.
It is Against this background that I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to invest the aforementioned sum in viable businesses overseas since the law here in South Africa prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of South Africa.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money here in South Africa for fear of goiong through the same experience in future both countries have similar political history If you agree to act as a fund manager for me and my family, I shall release the sum of US$28 MILLION united states Dollars to you if you meet my requirements. The money is available in cash in a safe trunk deposited with a security company, and upon a favorable response from you, I shall let you know how you will receive it.
As it is, I am looking for a reliable partner who can help me safe-guide and invest this money very prudently in his company as advised by my mother. 25% of this money will be given to you while 10% will be set aside for miscellaneous expenses that we may incur during the process and an annual 10% of the after tax returns on investment for the first five years. Thereafter, the terms shall be varied. so, if you are capable and willing to participate in this transaction.
Also note that this transaction is 100% risk free, you may also be required to come to Dubai if need be on indication of your interest. Please confirm your interest on this transaction and hoping to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,
MRS.HANNA .H. AHMED
