assistance after much prayers.I will be interested in doing business with
you, particularly in joint venture in your country on lucrative business.
This is how the fund comes, During the current war against the farmers in
Zimbabwe from the support of our president ROBERTO MUGABE to claim all the
white and black farms in our country, So he ordered all the white and black
famers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his
followers,and my father is one of the best farmers in our country, because
he did not support his idea and threat to the white farmers then his
supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm and
killed my father and confisicated all his investment,
After the death of my father,I decided to move out of Zimbabwe,because my
life is still in danger with the money, my father kept in his hidden safe in
my mother's house, Since he does not have any account with any bank due to
illiteracy but was successful in farm production.
The amount contained in the safe is US$ 21.5 (Twenty one Million Five
Hundred Thousand United Dollars).And I decided to move with the money
through deplomatic means and I am currently forced to Seek a political
asylum as a refugee.
This money was deposited in a box as a consignment labelled FAMILY TREASURE,
with the security Company.his frame of mind was informed as not to allow the
company management have the knowledge of the real content of the box for
obvious Security reason.Meanwhile, I was advice by a banker to seek for a
reliable foriegn partner oversea who is going to assist me in transferring
the fund into oversea account.Whose advise is the best possible way of
transferring this fund because of my political status,He said it will be
more safety pending when I get reliable some body that will assist recieve
the fund in his foreign bank account and at the same time give me light of
investment,based on business idea/knowledge you may have.However my aim of
contacting you is to help me look for a profitable investment overseas.
As a result of my present status and as a refugee, I will not be able to
conclude this transaction alone therefore.If you are interestead in helping
me out, try and contact me immediately with the above TELEPHONE NUMBER also
indicate your interest by REPLYING ME through the EMAIL ADDRESS above.I will
then furnish you with more details.I have mutually agreed to compensate you
with 20% which is your share for assistance, and 5% for any expenses that
may incure in the course of the transaction.Then the remaining 75% will be
for me and my family,Which you will help us invest in your country.
Be informed that this transaction need utmost trust and confidentiality and
will only take about 2-3 working days to be concluded,note also that this
transaction attract no risk on your side because all the modalities were
quite safe, Smooth successful transaction has been arranged by me and my
