Subject: FROM;Mrs Lucelle Dube
Dear Friend,
With due respect, trust and humility, I use this medium to write this letter to you irrespective of the fact That you do not know me, but please do consider this letter as a request from a widow in dare need of Assistance.
Let me formally introduce myself. I am Mrs Lucelle Dube , the widow of late Sir Paul Dube, the renowned Zimbabwean Wine and Cattle Ranch farmer. I got you contact courtesy of a business journal from the Togo African Information Exchange in my earnest Search for a reliable and trustworthy individual/company who can assist me in this business.
During the war waged against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters and cohorts of President Robert Mugable to claim all the white owned farms in our country, my late husband belonged to one of the classes of farmers targeted by the ZANU-PF armed group, because he did not support their ideas and Policies. In the course of the revolution in the country, the ZANU-PF armed group attacked and invaded My husband farms, burning, destroying and eventually killing him.
After my husbands death last Year, I managed to escape the boundaries of Zimbabwe into Togo in west-Africa with my only surviving son, because our lives were threatened and Zimbabwe was no longer safe for us. We escaped safely into Togo in west Africa with my husband lifetime fortune of US$13,305(Thirteen million three hundred five thousand, US dollars ) cash bonds, important documents of property title and other valuables, which he instructed his son on before his death. The money and valuables were concealed and secured in two treasure boxes, and were transported to Togo through diplomatic means. The boxes are currently safely secured in the vaults of a private security and brokerage firm here in Togo.
Presently, I am residing temporarily with my son Peter Dube in Togo pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my behalf by my attorney for the Department of Home Affairs to grant us political asylum. At the moment, I am in a dilemma on how to move this money safely out of Togo for investments. Moreover due to Togo government stringent monetary policies/regulations and the sensitive and volatile political status of the region, it would be most Dangerous to attempt investments here as such act could jeopardize our chances.
In recognition of your personal executive powers and investment opportunities that abound in your country, I solicit for your assistance in moving this money into your bank account for safekeeping pending our future arrival for in your country for investments. I have resolved to compensate you adequately by offering a brokerage commission of 30% of the money. We have also earmarked 5% for pre-transfer expenses we may incur in the course of the transaction and guarantee that any other expenses During the transaction are subject to refund.
I have in mind to establish a good business and friendly relationship with you in the nearest future if you are able to assist us. You are therefore free to ask question{s} you may consider relevant.
If you are unable to assist please be kind to notify me so that I can look for a suitable alternative.Please accept my warm compliments, as I earnestly await your positive response quickly.
Best Regards,
Lucelle Dube (Mrs)
