Subject: I need your urgent reply..
FROM:MRS ROSE LAMIN
ADD:270 PHROW PARK
GERMISTO GAUTENG.
ZIMBABWE.
Attn:Good Friend.
ASSISTANCE/INVESTMENT.
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial; as a matter of
urgentcy, i am desparately looking for a foriegn partner whom i can trust to
handle some investment or fund movement. I am MRS ROSE LAMIN wi! fe of late
MR.MARK LAMIN , who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and irrate black
people.
I am writing from Zimbabwe. I got your address from the internet through the
consultancy directory during my search for a reliable and honest person to
transactthis business with. I write to solicit for your special assistance
to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his
(ZANU-PF) ruling party- president Robert Mugabe. Because of land
and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly sponsored the war
veterans and some irrate party members to disposess the land being occupied
by white farmers. This action has led to the killing of some members of
opposition party including my husband(MARK Lamin) who did not support this
ill-fated action.
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited the sum of US$30m (Thirty million United States Dollars) in the
name of o! ur only son ' DAVID at a reputable security company in Ghana with
the intention of using it to open fertilizer manufacturing company among
other companies in our neighbouring country (Swaziland) after his university
education.
On the 29th of July, 2001, the war veterans and some supporters of
(ZANU-PF)ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him(my husband) to
death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son, DAVID LAMIN, but
he managed to escape to a neighbouring country,GHANA as a political asylum
seeker (refugee). But his position in GHANA does not
permit him to open an account or run any huge financial business. That is
why I want this fund to be transferred into your private account so that you
will assist him to invest it in your country.
Hence,if you agree to assist us, we will offer you 20% of the money for your
assistance, 10% will be for the possible expenses incurred in the process of
this transactio! n, while 70% will be for our family investment in your
country through your assistance. I need your urgent and confidential
response.
Best Regards,
MRS ROSE LAMIN.
FOR THE FAMILY
Upon your immediate response, I will immediately arrange and send to you all
the INFORMATIONS that will empower your smooth transaction with the security
company in GHANA and I will also send to you the agreement that will protect
both interest. And also further information about yourself is necessary for
i can not play on this.My alternate Email address is
roselamin_2005@hotmail.com) .
