Good day Friend,
How are you hope you and your family I hope you are all fine? Don’t be
embarrased how I got your email address, I got it while I was browsing the
internet.
I will be 20 years old this semptember and My Names are Miss. Dolly
Michaels, daughter and only child Of late Mr. Chico Michaels .
I am about to discuss a business proposal with you, something that I have
not discuss with anyone excluding my lawyer. My father was a big time farmer
in Botswana, he uses most of Botswana lands for farming. The Government in
Botswana gave him those lands for farming and he will pay back
when he have the money, it was like a loan.
He became very successful In the farming business and he paid the Government
back their money.Later Some top officials In the Government wanted him to
Join them carry out a dubious deal against the Government but he refuse,so
they plan to kill him and claim all his wealth he has
suffered for in Botswana. During the current crises against the farmers of
Botswana by the supporters of Senator Robert Gatun to claim the farms in
our country, he ordered all the farmers to surrender their farms to his
party members and their followers.
My father did not support the Senator political ideology, the Senator's
supporters invaded my fathers farm burnt down everything, killed him and
confiscated all his investments. But before they killed him he saw It coming
and transfer most of his fund to a Bank Abroad. He died in the hospital, But
before he died he gave me the contact Information to the Security company
which the fund was deposited.
The same people who killed my father were looking for I and my mum who is
still very traumatised, reason because we knew were my father funds were
lying. But we ran outside of Botswana to cape verde Island for safety.
My lawyer have tried to contact the Bank Abroad on my request to collect the
funds and they told him that I need a foreign beneficiary outside Africa
because of Security reasons. And I don’t have anyone outside Africa that
will stand for me as a beneficiary. According to the the reciept of the
ducument The funds Deposited is Fourteen million united state dollas ($14M).
My lawyer told me to look for a beneficiary. That is my problem now, My mum
is too sick to even talk and I am afraid to loose her as she is the only
ralation I have now on earth, so I have the taken the dicision to negociate
your commission With My lawyer.I want this done Immidiately so I
can further my education and take care of my Mum.
If you are interested in asisting me I will appreciate It a lot. Immidiatly
I hear from you I will forward every necessary Information required.
Thank you and God Bless you.
Miss Dolly Michaels.
For The Family.
