Thank you for your attention, I must apologize
firstly for contacting you
by Email because I had no other option, I am
prepared to offer you a
substantial amount of money for you to assist my
family in investing some
money in your country, my late husband, Mr.
Gibson Ncube is the owner of this money, I am
contacting you with a great
sense of loss having just finished a customary 2
year period of mourning
for my late husband, Mr. Gibson Ncube,a black
Zimbabwean farmer who was
attacked in his farm in the year 2
002 by the War veterans who took over the farm of
my late husband, on the
night of this attack, I had managed to flee with my
son and daughter from
the farm because my husband was tipped off that his
farm was being
targeted to be attacked due to his posi
tion as Administrative secretary of the
Matabeleland Movement for
Democratic Change(MDC), the main opposition party
in my country Zimbabwe,I
lost my husband in october 2002, four months after
the attack because he
was hospitalized and passed away from his
injuries .I am contacting you with my son, Pascal,
who is 32 years old. I
am equally gravely sick with Breast Cancer and
require your honest
assistance as I am preparing to return to Zimbabwe
to continually seek
medical treatment. My husband had managed
to sell off his equipment in his farm and was
preparing to re-locate to
neighboring Botswana where he was negotiating
another piece of land to set
up another farm, due to the tip-off he had received
about his farm being
up for seizure, he had managed to
take the proceeds of sale of his equipment into
South-Africa where he had
deposited the box containing this money in a Vault
of a safe storage
facility, it was only on his deathbed that he
disclosed this information
to me and informed me that upon his
passing away, I was to arrange to go to
South-Africa with specific
instructions which is one of the reasons why I have
contacted you because
the instructions require your services as an
overseas business to
conclude, please do not be surprised at this c
orrespondence because my ill health has required me
to seek your services
urgently because I do not know how much longer I
can live .If this
correspondence touches your conscience, please feel
free to contact me so
I can give you more information through
my son as I am making arrangements to travel to
Zimbabwe anytime from now,
my son will be in a good position to give you
further details. This money
can be put to better use in a business that can
generate profit in your
county and I will be prepared to
donate some potion of my family’s share of this
money to a charitable
organization for breast cancer sufferers ,the funds
are not of illegal
origin, it is not being traced or investigated, it
is not stolen money, it
is money that my husband made from se
lling his farm properties and I assure you there is
no risk involved for
you, your assistance will guarantee you at least
US$500,000 , please do
not ignore this correspondence and I await your
urgent reply by Email,
thank you once more.
Sincerely yours,
Rosemary Ncube(Mrs).
