Subject: From Steve Olkusz Jr...........!!
Dear Sir
It is With warm heart that I offer my friendship and my greetings and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this message from me since you do not know me and have not met me in person, however my name is Steve Olkusz the first son of Paul Olkusz the most popular black farmer from Zimbabwe murdered in the land dispute in my country, I decided to contact you through email as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with the President Robert Mugabe's led government, for security and safety reasons.
However, I apologise if this is not acceptable to you, The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance which was as a result of the Pesident introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich farmers mainly white british and few black farmers and as his desire to hold on to power for life, my father for-saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe.
the President's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans in the society led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my country after my father was murdered. I rested for a while, but when the danger became unbearable having survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe to Netherland where I am currently staying as a political refugee.
However before my father was murdered, he withdrew all of his business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up his shares in major companies and deposited the sum of US$126 million (one twenty Six Million US dollars) in a private financial security company here in netherland. This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and security reasons and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Europe.
In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum is basically to be getting in touch with the financial firm here since they can deposit this fund to any account of my choice
Actually i wish to transfer this money to an account and invest part of it but unfortunately i was informed that the law of Netherland prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to operate an account or to be involved in any financial transaction so I decided then to seek for a genuine and reliable God fearing person whose account this money can be transfered savely into before leaving Netherland to meet you for re-transfering into an account I will set up upon my arrival to meet you there in your country.
The procedure however is to present you to the financial firm as my TRUSTEE so that you will be allowed to open an account on my behalf with a bank here where I will recommend them to deposit this fund for bank to bank transfer into your country's acoount.
Please I know that this assistance will cost you your time, so be rest assured that I have decided to offer you 20% of this fund for your good assistance and you can aswell go into full partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of this fund when transfered into your account.
Whichever the option you want, please do notify me in your reply as I want your absolute trust and dedicated corporation in this proposal.
I look forward to your reply and co-operatio using my private email at olkuszjrprivate@yahoo.co.in and please do provide me with your secured contact for sending messages and some confidential documents
Sincerely,
Steve Olkusz Jr.
