Subject: I need Your Hunble Asistance plz.
With due respect,trust and humility I write this letter to you seeking
your help and assistance though it s difficult since we have not met
before.I believe that you are capable and reliabl in handling this urgent
international transaction of this sort. I miss,am pateince osho johson,
the Wife of comrade Johnson Osho. the Zimbabwean former Minister
for Youth & Gender Equality who is also a businessman and politician, in the
Zimbabwean political arena. My husband was the famous politician who stood firm,
against President Mugabe's idea of continuous seizure of White farms and the
distribution of it to the blacks without compensation to the owners.
Because of my husband's stand in this issue, he was killed on the 14th
April 2001 by a planned motor accident along Mashonaland in Western
Mashona province of Zimbabwe,the planners of the accident are said
to be dissidents soldiers suspected to have the backing of the
government and President Mugabe.sir, when this accident occurred at
about 10:15 am Zimbabwean time my husband did not die on the spot rather he
was rushed to Harare hospital by some members of the opposition group.
Sensing that if my husband dies we shall be the next target, my mother
in her sick condition managed under special arrangements by some UDM
members(the opposition group) managed to sneak us out of Zimbabwe to DAKAR SENEGAL
where we are to seek asylum. It was at this stage that my
husband confided in me that he has family valuables , before he died, had released
certain documents to his Anthoney.One of these documents is the main reason i am
writing this letter to you, and it concerns a deposit of one diplomatic box.
my husband concealed with one of the private security company here in dakar
containing US$3.5M (three five hundred million,united states dollars) declared as
family valuables, and other vital documents which was meant for his political campaign in the past
election march 2002.We are now we are in DAKAR SENEGAL with the original
documents of deposit intact,and because of the existing law, which prevents
asylum seekers / refugee like us to operate an account that exceeds
US$1000.00 and at the same time,there is no way we can comfortably transfer this
money abroad for safe keeping and investment without assistance from someone
overseas,I decided to write to you seek for your help for this money
to be transferred into your private bank account as all
arrangements for a hitch free transfer have been fully taken care of.
I want to a ssure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free as
no other person knows this box apart from my younger childrien.
.... Sir, as for your reward kind assistance we have resolved to
give you 20% of the total amount, 5% will be set aside for any expenses
that might be incurred in the course of this transaction. We planned to
invest the rest of the money in your country under your guidance. If you are
willing to help us, try as much as possible to reach me with the above
number for more briefing, and also, to enable us proceed in earnest
towards concluding the transfer. However you will be kind enough to
give me your private number, I will be glad to call you.
Sir, bear in mind that our lives depend on this fund and we do hope
that this money will be safe when finally transferred into your account. I
do hope to establish a rewarding and good relationship with you and your
family after this transaction.
Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.
Thanks for your co-operation and God bless.
Best regards,
patience Osho.
