Dear Friend,
In appreciation of your esteemed contact received through a reliable source and the choice of your country. I wish to introduce myself. My name is Mr. Micheal Ford, the son of Mr. Terry Ford of Zimbabwe.
During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the
supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers. You can view website:http://www.thefarmer.co.zw/main.htm or
http://www.dogsinthenews.com/issues/0203/articles/020319a.htm
My Father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the President political ideology, the president supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. Before this unpleasant incident, my mother and Terry had already visited South Africa to deposit the sum of Twenty five Million US Dollars (US$25,000,000.00) in a safe diplomatic vault in South Africa
This action was taken because Terry felt the growing tension on the
farm is. After the bloody incident, we all had to escape to London for the safety of our lives .Where we have been living since then as political refugee. I am seeking for a reliable foreigner who can assist us in moving this funds out for safe banking and profitable investment.Honestly i contacted you because I don't want to invest this funds in London due to my status here as a political refugee and moreover I don't want to take risk because this funds is all that I and my mother are depending on.
We are seriously looking for a trusted partner that will assist us with the convenient and legal transfer of the funds out of South Africa.
Your help will be appreciated with 25% of the total of the total fund while 5% of the total will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this transaction. And 75% will be for my family. we will be happy if you can be able to invest our share in your country under your supervision. I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our correspondence. Your immediate response will be highly welcome I hope to hear from you soon. Please include your phone and fax number in your response for better communication.
God bless you and your family.
Mr. Micheal Ford
For the family
