Greetins From Helen H. Kabango.
Attn. Brethren
Based on your profile i have gone through, i am happy to request for your
assistance and also to go into business partnership with you, i believe that
you will not betrayed my trust which i am going to lay on you.
Difficulties encountered in efforts to establish a business abroad necessitate
this search for someone to assist me in securing and investing the sum of
USD 5.6,000.000 (Five Point Six Million dollars)inherited from my father's
business reserve.
I am the heir of a Zimbabwean family, my father was an agriculturist. He
became rich from his old-aged investment in agriculture and later was victimized
by President Robert Mugabe's land reform policy. He was shot by unknown gunmen
for defending his land ownership and siding the minority white farmers, It
is sad to say that he passed away in a Hospital Paris on 12th.Febuary 2004.Though
his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded
by President Robert Mugabe.
Before his death, my father foresaw the insecurity of both our lives and
property then decided to deposit the above sum with a private finance and
property security firm in Ghana, a country in West Africa. This money has
become the only inherited property of our family since our home was burnt,and
the farmlands and machines seized yet the government and it's loyalists are
bent on making life difficult for us.
But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and
since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12th
2004 he called our family Attorney BARR. CEPHAS GALLEY, who accompanied
him to the hospital and told him that he has money runs into Millions of
United State Dollars in a security company in Republic Of GHANA, but the
security company didn't know the content because it was registered
as family valuables personal for security reasons. To summarise this traumatic
story, I have decided to offer 30% of the above sum to anyone who assists
me to secure this funds to overseas and help me to invest it into any
reliable venture.
if you would want to proceed under these terms,please reply for detailed
information. if you do not accept my offer,please in good fate treat with
utmost confidentiality . A quick reply with your name,telephone and fax
numbers for more confidential communication will be highly appreciated. I
am just a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. The
death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life and I am in a
sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards. Your suggestions
and ideas will be highly regarded.
Finally, permit me to ask you these few questions:- 1. Can I completely
trust you?
2. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you?
Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Miss Helen H. Kabango.
