Dear Friend,
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may
offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and
writing through this channel. I got your contact from a database found in
the internet when I was searching for reliable foreigners who will assist
me invest this fund.
After series of prayers/fasting I was divinely directed to contact you among
other names found in the database. I believe that God has a way of helping
who is in a problem and nobody on earth was born without problem. Every problem
has a divine solution.
In a brief, I am Mrs. Hilda Mupesa, wife to Ndoga Mupesa of Chiweshe ward
in Muzarabani, Mashonaland Central province, who was allegedly killed in
cold blood on 5th April 2001 by alleged Zanu PF militias and war veterans
for supporting the (Mr. Morgan Tsvangirai) Movement for Democratic Change,
an opposition party to the tyranny government of President Mugabe.
Since after the death of my husband, my family has never had rest of mind
because of intimidation and harassment, with lots of negative reports emanating
from the present democratic government and press about my late husband. Our
bank accounts both local and abroad has been frozen by the government.
We are still under pressure from the security agents for more interrogation
about my husband?s assets and some vital documents.
My movement and that of my family are restricted and all our traveling documents
including international passports were seized by the government security
agent.
Before my husband death as if he saw what is going to happen to him, he
handed over to me some vital documents including the one of money he deposited
with private company in Europe as personal effects in disguise amount
$12.3 Million United states dollars.
The only person that knows about this matter is my late husband?s personal
attorney, whom I have personally confided on.
Considering the circumstances surrounding us now, we cannot claim the money
by our selves, to this effect we {me and the attorney} have concluded the
arrangement with the security Company in Europe to transfer the money to
your nominated account with the help of my late husband deposit officer who
is the only person that know the real contents of the deposited box to ensure
absolute safety and risk-free.
I contacted you on the following agreement;
1.To keep this transaction confidential it deserves due to my condition right
now.
2.To assist me invest my share of the fund into a viable business venture
as I have little or no knowledge on any good business to invest on.
3.You will be transparent, honesty and diligence and will not be greed to
divulge from the original percentage offered to you thereby requesting for
increase which might lead you to sit on the funds once it is under your custody,
or you try to blackmail me so you can take the money alone.
4.Your percentage for your assistance will be 30% while 65% will be for me
and my family including lawyer's compensation and 5% will be set aside to
defray any incidental charges we may incurs in the course of the transaction.
And you will be of assistance to help me defray demurrages the deposit has
already incurred after my husband initial deposit payment elapses while I
was waiting patiently for divine direction to who will handle this project
without fear of betrayal.
5. 65% will be banked for my family on trust, pending on when we would decide
on suitable business to invest in your country.
6. Your assistance in this transaction is 100% risk free but need utmost
secrecy and confidentiality due to my condition.
Note I will give you more information of this transaction upon the reciept
of your willingness to help me out.
God Bless
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Hilda Ndoga Mupesa.
