were murdered in cold blood by the President Robert Mugabe Administration

After the death of my Father, we decided to move out of ZIMBABWE because our
lives were in danger because of the money that my father kept in his hidden
safe in our house. The amount contained in the safe is $13,000,000 (THIRTEEN
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). This money was meant for the purchase of new
machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms in
Swaziland. We moved to South Africa and deposited this money in a security
company in a box as valuables belonging to our foreign partner pending when
we see somebody that will assist us, for the safety of ours.

We are presently in Nigeria as Refugee (Asylum Seekers), thank God Almighty
for the President of Nigeria Olusegun Obansanjo who offered us this
opportunity.And the law of Nigeria does not permit us to operate or open any
bank account here in Nigeria or be involved in any financial transaction
with the bank. That is why we contacted you to assist us in this
transaction.

We are ready to give you 30% of the total amount for the inconveniences this

Indicating your interest as soon as possible, on receiving of your
acceptance, I shall be glad to give you more clarification on the modalities
needed for smooth successful completion of this transaction. I anticipate
