My Dear,
How are you and your family today? I hope that you are all
okay? I found information about you and decided to contact
you for an important assistance. I am Prince m nkomo. a
citizen of Zimbabwe,but i am contacting from a neiboring
country
here in IVORY CAOST where i am now sicking political
assylum.
I am the only son of Kenneth Nkomo, a wealthy farmer and
senior politician with the opposition political party in
my country, Movement for Democratic Change [MDC]. My father
was murdered by our wicked President, Robert Mugabe and I
fled my
country because I have become hisnext target to eliminate.
My father was a fighter for Justice and a moving force in
the MDC, a part wanting to end the several years of brutal
dictatorship government of President Robert Mugabe. You
will read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts
by
visiting this web
sites;http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html My
father
was accused of Treason and also assisting the White farmers
in fighting the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he
was reported dead.
The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body
was never seen for proper autopsy, they buried him in
the government cemetery. My father's associate Mr. Martin
Olds a White farmer from Britain assisted me in fighting
my father's death through the Court and media; the
government saw us as a big treat to them and decided to
eliminate us. Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his
house, but fortunately, before they came looking for me, I
received the news and I had to flee through the border to
South Africa to save my life. My arrival here in IVORY
COAST still remains like a miracle to me.
Here, is my reasons for contacting you, I am having a huge
sum of money in the total sum of $13.6Million presently
lodge with
the security company in holland,My father kept this money in
in two trunk boxes in disguise as family treasures and
could not bank them,because of the situation in my
country. My father's business, farms and banks account were
seized by the government before his arrest and
murder.
He told me everything concerning the funds while he was
still in detention and I have made several arrangements
concerning the shipment of the boxes out of my country
because we cannot invest it there. I was on the process when
I fled
the country. I need your assistance in securing the funds
there in
your country, so that I can arrange on how to come overto
your
country to invest with the fund I am willing to offer you
30% of
the $13.6Million for your assistance.
Please, let me know if you can assist me, so that I can
give you more details on how we shall proceed. As I wait for
your
urgent response, please treat this information as top secret
and
reply to my confidiencail account :pmnkomo@xasamail.com.
Regards,
Prince m nkomo.
