Subject: THIS IS VIVIAN
Hello dear,
How are you today? It really gives me the pleasure to write you this pathetic and emotional heart bleeding mail which i know will come to you as a surprise even though we hardly know each other personally.
BUT I MUST CONFESS THAT I GOT YOUR CONTACT IN MY DESPERATE SEARCH IN THE NET TO FIND AN HONEST AND GOD FEARING PERSON INRRESPECTIVE OF RACE,RELIGION OR CULTURE WHO WILL HELP ME OUT OF MY PREDICAMENTE WITHOUT BIAS OR PREJUDICE.
Well to go straight to the point, I am MISS VIVIAN DIA 19 years old from the REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE and the only surviving child of late JOHNSON KABA who was untill his untimely death the director-general of housing departments of the ministry of works and housing in the REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE.
You see, my father ,my mother and my three (3) younger sisters all died in a ghastly car accident which collided with a petrol tanker which ignited a fire immediately the accident occured and they all burnt to ashes. I am sure you may have heard about it because the news was all over the place, infact across the entire continent as many media houses carried the news.
As a matter of fact,this great tragedy happened on their way to visit me on our visiting day in my boarding school where i was about completing my final year in the high school before i was thrown out of school last year due to my inability to pay my school fees and to buy some important text books since my father died along side with my entire family. Since then life has been very difficult and cumbersome for me to the extend it got to a point that i wanted to comit suicide.
But just four days ago as God may have it, a SECURITY AND FINANCE HOUSE based in europe called our house asking for my late father to ask his foreign partner to come forward for the claim of the over-due family value deposite which he my late father deposited with them( THE SECURITIES AND FINANCE HOUSE).
But in the actual sense my late father has no foreign partner because i could remember him telling me then one day in our living room as his FIRST DAUGHTER that he deposited a huge sum of money with a security and finance house IN EUROPE.He deposited $11.000.000.00 (ELEVEN MILLION USD) but the security company did not know the content of the box,my father deposited it as a family treasure.
Now I am saddled with the problems of getting a sincere, honest, trustworthy and God fearing person who will earnestly help me by standing as my late father's partner and claim these funds on my behalf as the sole beneficiary and will not cheat me or sit on the funds after claiming it but rather will invest it properly for me with his expertise in his country thereafter i will come over to meet you to have a new life. Please should you have a soft and kind heart to help me claim these funds on my behalf,do not hesitate to get back to me AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE with this my e-mail address (vivian_kaba@yahoo.co.uk) so that i can forward your particulars to the SECURITIES AND FINANCE COMPNAY as my late fathers foreign partner and then give you their own contact so that you can call to ask them what to do for the funds to be released to you as my late fathers foreign partner. I am currently in senegal in search of my uncle who works with AIR AFRIQUE, but w!
as told the airline he works for have closed down for many months now and no one knows his where abouts, i am staying in a rented room managing the little money with me.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU COME FORWARD TO HELP ME
Yours sincerely,
MISS VIVIAN DIA
