Subject: Private Letter
FROM: MS.JUDITH FASSINOU
ADDRESS: 121 PK , AVENUE,
ETOUR , G.S.A.
Dear Lovely,
URGENT AND STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
How are you? I know you may be surprised to receive this letter, please consider this letter as a request from a me. Firstly, I am Ms.Judith Fassinou the Daughter of Late Mr.Fassinou K.Damba who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact through the Benin Trade and Business Information services and I assure you that nobody knows about this transaction except my two Brother's and me. Before the death of my Father. He took me to Benin Republic to deposit the sum of US$12.5 Million (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a private Security Company, when He foresees the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited as family valuables to avoid much demurrage cost from the Security Company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and also for the establishment of a new farm in Swaziland. The land disputes started when Zimbabwe President MR. ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new Land Act/ reform, which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted to many killings by Zimbabwe war veterans and some unscrupulous elements in the society.
In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my Fathe was one of the victims. It is on this background that my family and I, who are currently staying in Cotonou Benin Republic as refugees decided to transfer my Fathe's money to a foreign country since the laws of Benin prohibits refugees from opening any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territory of Cotonou Benin.
Please, I need your financial assistance to retreive this fund from security company and transfer your trusted overseas bank account. For your efforts and assistance, I have agreed to give you 30% of the total sum, while 5% is mapped out to re-imburse all the expenses you will incur in the course of this transaction and 65% will be for my family's investment in your country.
Please note that this transaction is 100% Trouble free and Risk-Free on both sides, as I have made arrangements for a successful deal. As such, the only thing I ask from you is total assistance to transfer this money, complete trust and assurance that my own part of money will be safe when transferred to your account.
Kindly, keep this business proposal highly confidential for security reasons. If you are interested in assisting me, call or send email to me through my above email address and include your private and fax numbers for easy communications.
Thanking you in anticipation to your co-operation.
Looking forward to your urgent reply, God Bless.
Sincerely yours,
Ms.Judith Fassinou (For The Family)
