REQUEST FOR URGENT
ASSISTANCE/INVESTMENT.
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial; as a matter of
urgentcy, i am desparately
looking for a foriegn partner whom i can trust to handle some investment or
fund movement. I am
MRS.BLESSING KAMUU wife of late MR.MICHAEL KAMUU , who was murdered by the
Zimbabwean veterans and irrate black people.
I am writing from Zimbabwe. I got your address from the internet through the
consultancy directory during my search for a reliable and honest person to
transact this business with. I write to solicit for your special assistance
to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his
(ZANU-PF) ruling party- president Robert Mugabe.
Because of land andfarm land crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly
sponsored the war veterans and some irrate partymembers to disposess the
land being occupied by white farmers. This action has led to the killing of
some members of opposition party including my husband(MICHAEL Ndlovu), who
did do not support this ill-fated action.
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited the sum of US$10.4m (Ten million four hundered Thousand United
States Dollars)in the name of our only son 'FRANK at a reputable security
company in SOUTH AFRICA with the intention of using it to open fertilizer
manufacturing company among other companies in our neighbouring country
(Swaziland)after his university education.
On the 29th of July, 2001, the war veterans and some supporters of
(ZANU-PF)ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him(my husband) to
death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son, FRANK KAMUU, but
he managed to escape to a neighbouring country, South Africa as a political
asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does not permit
him to open an account or run any huge financial business. That is why I
want this fund to be transferred into your private account so that you will
assist him to invest it in your country.
Hence,if you agree to assist us, we will offer you 20% of the money for your
assistance, 10% will be for the possible expenses incurred in the process of
this transaction, while 70% will be for our family
investment in your country through your assistance. I need your urgent and
confidential response.
Best regards,
Linda Ndlovu(MRS.)
FOR THE FAMILY
Upon your immediate response, I will immediately arrange and send to you all
the INFORMATIONS that will empower your smooth transaction with the security
company in SOUTH AFRICA and I will also send to you the agreement that will
