Dear Friend,
Having gotten your contact through the intrenet while searching for a reliable
and honest business man or Woman who could be of an investment help,I decided
to
contact you
because of my client who is interested in investing the sum of $6,400.000.00(six
million and four hundred thousand united states dollars) in a viable and
profitable venture that you will recommend to him in your area for a long
and lasting joint business relationship.

The fund is inheritted from his late father,a zimbabwean white farmer, who
was assasinated few years ago in the Zimbabwean white farmers crisis,caused
by the dictator,President Mugabe .The fund is now available and deposited
in a secuirty company here in london upon the arrival of the young man.The
money will be released through you into the project after you have shown
proven interests and commitment in response to this proposal. This young
man will require your direction in this regard pending when he finishes
his studies.He will need every good guidance possible from established business
like yours while counting on your honesty and intergrity for the mutual
benefit and progress of the boy.
You can contact me by phone and/or email for further details as i am in
london right now.
Warm regards,
Dr Daffour Klerk.
