Dear Sir,
I am Mrs.Jaffe Willams,a civil servant from Zimbabwe. My late husband, Mr. Albert Peter Williams was the co-owner of an Agricultural firm and his partnerhappens to be among the white farmers that the dictatorPresident of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe took over their farmlands and handed over to the blacks, despite
all the pleas from the International Communities, and members of the COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES. Most of the company's assets, animal farms and milk industry were seized and confiscated by thetyrant President.My late husband was a British citizen of frican descent and we both lived in the company's staff quartersbut our lives were threatened by agents of President Mugabe. Since then, my husband and I have been living in exile here in Dakar - Senegal. My husband died last August as a result of cardiac arrest. I am suffering from cancer of the breast myself and will be undergoing a major operation earlynext month, by Gods special grace.
Dear, there is a huge amount of money that I and my
husband before his death was able to send to a security and
finance company in Spain (Europe) through the help of the
International Red Cross staff, because President Mugabe,
placedorder for the closure of the accounts of all the
white farmers and no one was allowed to transfer more than
ten thousand dollars abroad but luckily enough, I and my
late husband along with some other farmers were assisted
through diplomatic means with the help of the International
Red Cross to send our money abroad forsafety. The total Sum is twenty two million USdollar(US$15.000.000.00), the money is part of our life savings and what my husband inherited from his late father,from whom we took over the family business.The money arrived safely in Spain-Europe.I would like to have your assistance in relocating and investing the money into any lucrative business you deem profitable. I am 51 years of age and my only son is still too young at 25, hence we need your cooperation to secure this deposit which is as it stands now, the only hope of our survival as I have already lost my husband,coupled with my sickness and the situation of insecurity.Life is no more the same with me after all the lot I have gone through.
All my hope now rests on you, and I sincerely believe
you will not disappoint me, I am expecting your immediate
reply, so that I will forward to you the contact of the
security & finance firm in Spain. Iwill equally give you a
letter of Authority, giving you the right to transfer this
money to your location for safety purposes while i prepare
to come over after my surgery.
I would be expecting to hearing from you.
Sincerely your's,
Mrs.Jaffe Willams
