PROPOSAL FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
I was given your contact address by a friend that works with the chamber
of commerce and industry here in Burkina Faso and he assured me of your
credibily and that you may be in good position to assist me in this business.
I know you will be surprise to read from me, but please consider this letter
as a request from a family in dare need of assistance. Iam Dr.YUSUF TANKO
the only son of late Salif TANKO of Zimbabwe,presently residing in Burkina
Faso. On behalf of my widowed mother Mrs. Aicha TANKO,I decided to solicit
for your assistance to move the sum of $10.5million Dollars(Ten million,five
hundred thousand United States Dollars) inherited from my late father to
your country for an onward investment under your kind control. My father
was killed during the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe from the support
of our present HEAD OF STATES President ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white
owned farms to his NPF PARTY MEMBERS. He ordered all the white farmers to
surrender all their farms to his party members and followers. My father
was one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not support
Mugabes` ideas, Mugabes supporters invaded my fathers farms and burnt down
every thing in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of items
in my fathers farm. Before my fathers death, he had deposited
with one of the security and finance companies in Burkina Faso, Africa the
sum of US$10.5 million (Ten million five hundred thousand United States
Dollars). After the death of my father, we decided to move to the Burkina
Faso where he had deposited the money with Security Company as valuables.
We decided to contact an oversea firms and companies that can assist us
to move this money out of Burkina Faso, because as asylum seekers we are
not allowed to operate any bank account within Burkina Faso. We have agreed
to offer you 20% of total sum for your assistance, 5% has been mapped out
for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction
and 75%will be for me and my family to invest in your country. From the
above you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends
on this money.as such I will be very happy if you can assist
us, now all I want from you is to furnish me with your personal data ,telephone
and fax numbers for easy communication. Note that this transaction is 100%
risk free and absolutely confidential. Waiting for your urgent responds.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
Dr.YUSUF TANKO
