Subject: Hello From Mrs Sandra
Hello
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since
you do not know me personally. I am MRS.SANDRA DWANE the wife of MR.TONY DWANE, who was murdered in the
land dispute in Zimbabwe.
Before the death of my husband, he had notified me about the money $18m
(Eighteen Million United States Dollars) he deposited inSenegal Dakar with one of the private security companies,
as if he fore saw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as personal valuables for
a foreign partner to avoid much demurrage from the Security
Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new
machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a
new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came When
Zimbabwean President MR. ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new
Land Act reform, which wholly affected the rich white
farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted to
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 reformed Act for which my
husband was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, my children and I who
are currently staying in Senegal Dakar decided to transfer
my husband money to a foreign country since the law of
Senegal prohibits refugees from opening any bank account or
to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the
territorial zones of Senegal Dakar. I am now saddled with
the responsibility of seeking for a genuine foreigner who
can provide us with a reliable account where this money
could be transferred into .All I seek for is an honest
person, whom I can entrust with my future and That of my
family. I must also let you know that this transaction
demands absolute confidentiality. If you accept to assist
me and my family, all I want from you is to help us with an
account in your name, which will aid us in transferring the
money into any account, you Will nominate overseas.
This money we intend to use for investment and growth in
your country. For your efforts we are prepared to give to
you 20% of the total funds or you can go into partnership
with us for the proper profitable investment of the money
in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free
to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for
all kinds of expenses we might incur in the process of this
transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am
willing to give you the percentage proposed above.
If you are really capable and willing to assist us please
contact me immediately through this e-mail address sdwane@katamail.com
finally, please Treat this matter as
urgent as possible I am in dire need to leave this country
soonest with my family.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation!
Best Regards,
Mrs. Sandra Dwane.
