Subject: urgent needed
Dear sir,
I am Mis.ALIMA YAYA,a civil servant from Zimbabwe. My late husband, Mr. Albert YAYA, was the co-owner of an Agricultural firm and his partner happens to be among the white farmers that the dictator President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe took over their farmlands and handed over to the blacks, despite all the pleas from the International Communities, and members of the COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES. Most of the company's
assets, animal farms and milk industry were seized and confiscated by the
tyrant President. My late husband was a British citizen of African descent and we both lived in the company's staff quarters but our lives were threatened by agents of President Mugabe. Since then, my husband and I have been living in exile here in Dakar - Senegal. My husband died last August as a result of cardiac arrest. I am suffering from cancer of the breast myself and will be undergoing a major operation early next month, by Gods special grace. Dear, there is a huge amount of money that I and my husband before his
death was able to send to a security and finance company in Spain(Europe) through the help of the International Red Cross staff, because President Mugabe, placedorder for the closure of the accounts of all the white farmers and no one was allowed to transfer more than ten thousand dollars abroad but luckily enough, I and my late husband along with some other farmers were assisted through diplomatic means with the help of the International Red Cross to send our money abroad for safety. The total Sum is fifteen million US dollar(US$15.000.000.00), the money is part of our life savings and what my
husband inherited from his late father,from whom we took over the family business. The money arrived safely in Spain-Europe.I would like to have your assistance in relocating and investing the money into any lucrative business you deem profitable. I am 51 years of age and my only son is
still too young at 25, hence we need your cooperation to secure this deposit which is as it stands now, the only hope of our survival as I have already lost my husband,coupled with my sickness and the situation of insecurity.Life is no more the same with me after all the lot I have gone through. All my hope now rests on you, and I sincerely believe you will not disappoint me, I am expecting your immediate reply, so that I will forward to you the contact of the security & finance firm in Spain. Iwill equally give you a letter of Authority, giving you the right to transfer this money to your location for safety purposes while i prepare to come over after my surgery. I would be expecting to hearing from you. Sincerely your's,
Mis.ALIMA YAYA
