Subject: YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED



You may be surprise to receive this
letter from me,since you dont know me
personally,I am Daul Ramsley The son of Dr. Christopher Ramsley, Who was recently
killed in the land reform dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact as i was searching for a reliable and reputable person to handle
a very confidential business which involve the claiming and transfering of fund into
a foreign account
for safe keeping and further investment.


My father was among the few black Zimbabwean
opposition party rich farmers who were against
President Robert Mugabe's land reform policies against
the white farmers in Zimbabwe.For his alleged support and sympathy for
the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority farmers.
Before my father was killed,he was a successful farmer in support of his white colleagues .
He had taken to South Africa and deposited the sum of twelve million five
hundred thousand united state dollars
(US$12.5million) with a security/finance company as he forseen
the looming danger in zimbabwe.
This is to avoid it been confiscated by President Robert Mugabe and ruling party.
This money was allocated for the purchase of new machinery
and chemical product for Agro-allied farms and for establishment of new farms
in lesotho and swaziland.This land problems arose when President Robert mugabe
introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers.Some blacks
vehemently condemned the "modus operandi" adopted by the government. This result
to rampant killings and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs,
precisely more than three thousand
( 3,000) people have so far been killed.Heads
of government from the west, especially Britain and United States have voice
their condemnation of Mugabe's plans.

Currently,the money has been transfer to Europe via diplomatic process,
due to current escalation of the problem in Zimbabwe to avoid it been confiscated.
Hence,South Africa Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continously supported Mugabe's
new land act.This is the reason why we decided to transfer this fund to Europe and
flee out of the South Africa where we were living since this problem started
to another neighbouring country in Africa.I am faced with the dilemma of keeping
and investing of this money in whole of Africa for fear of encountering the same
experience in the future or confiscation of all that belong to my family by
these African leaders.Since all countries in
Africa have almost the same political tie.

Since i lost my mother as a result of heart problem back in africa
i decided to fly to europe where i am seeking a political asylum.Hence,
i am currently on excile in europe.as an asylum seeker and also because
of my age i will not be allowed to handle such an amount of money
here so that is why i am demanding from you is to be my representative/beneficiary
to make claim of this fund,which is currently deposited in the security company's custody in Europe.
I will also inform you that a transaction of this magnitude is risk free and or mutual benefit.
For your assistance of claiming and safeguarding the money,i am offering you 20% of the sum ,75% for me ,
while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may incurre during this transaction.
i wish to offer you 20% of annual turnover of any investment you wish to invest this
money when it finally gets into your propose account,for a period of ten consecutive years.

Finally, i will demand for assurance that you will not sit on the
money when it gets to your personal account or company's account,
If this proposal is accepted please confirm your interest by sending
me an email and providing your full name,address, tel and fax numbers to enable
me introduce you to the security company in Europe
where the money is currently deposited as my beneficiary/partner.


Thanks.
Daul Ramsley.
