During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of our president Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, all the white and black farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers.

Owing to the fact that the association did not support his idea and so the party members invaded my husband's farms and burnt everything in the farm, Killed my husband and made away with a lot of items in my husband's farm.
Before my husband died in the hospital he revealed to me of a trunk box containing (ELEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS) US$11.5M which he deposited in a Security/deposit house here in Zimbabwe.
Due to the numerous treats, which they pose on my children and I, we decided to move out of Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger to take refugee in Ghana.

So this is what prompted me to contact you for assistance to bring the trunk box out
from the Security company/deposit for onward transfer to your account in any
Designated interest of yours. We decided to solicit your help. So if you consider this
Proposal worth doing indicate your interest.
We have agreed to give you 30% of the total sum for helping us to move this money out to the country of your choice. And 5% will be mapped out for expenses both of us may incure during this transaction and 65% is for my family to be invested in your
Country.
