Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?I=20NEED=20YOUR=20HELP=20PLEASE?=
Dear Sir/Madam,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this
letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising for you to receive
this proposal from me since you do not know me personally.
However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction,which
I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity.
My name is John koroma the son of Koroma Steven, a farmer from Zimbabwe,
murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instinct, I decided
to contact you through LETTER as it is the only means I can contact anybody
since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons.
However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you.
The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in
a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in
Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of
new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few
rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father
foresaw the danger that is coming to Zimbabwe. Before he was murdered,
he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars to
Johannesburg, South Africa to deposit the sum of US$18.5 million(Eighteen
million, Five Hundred thousand US dollars), in a private security company.
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 Botswana.
I am currently staying in The Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum.
In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security
company from South Africa, has a branch here, and they have moved the deposit
from their office in Johannesburg to Amsterdam.
Since the law of The Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to
open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this
is why I am seeking your help as a reliable partner, If you accept to assist
me, 30% of the total sum of the fund will be yours.
All I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the
deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands,
as it has now been transferred from Johannesburg, South Africa to their
branch here. The company will be legally informed of you representing me.Please,
I want you to maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction.
I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance
as I anticipate your co-operation, I will like if you reply with my email
address which is johnkoroma02@netscape.net
Best regards
Mr John Koroma
