Subject: Dear Friend
Dear Friend,
www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/africa/03/18/zimbabwe.farmer
I am Miss Peggy Ford the the only child of the late Terry Ford, a farmer in Zimbabwe.
I am contacting you for assistance due to the recent problems
that my family is facing in Zimbabwe.After the last general elections in
my country when the incumbent President Mr. Robert Mugabe won he adopted a very aggressive land reform programme. During this period of the Land Reform Act of which many rich White farmers were killed, our farmland was attacked, looted and burnt down by
militants sponsored by the dictator President Robert Mugabe and in the process my father was killed.
Before his death, he had traveled abroad to deposit the sum of $23,000,000.00 (Twenty Three Million United States Dollars) with a security/finance company, as he foresaw the Looming dangers in Zimbabwe.
The amount was meant for the purchase of new machineries and Chemicals proposed for new farms in Zimbabwe. This cash was kept with the Security Company for fear of seizure by the Government, as President Mugabe had declared war on white farmers. We have
been unable to travel Abroad due to the recent problems in our country Zimbabwe, I cannot secure a visa. It is due to this situation that we have decided to contact you for assistance to make claims of this fund from the security firm Abroad on behalf
of my family. As well as helping in the investment of this fund hence I do not have any investment knowledge.
As soon as you claim this fund you will transfer it into your account, deduct your share and secure our share until we come over to your country. For your assistance you will be entitled to 10% of the total fund.
Note that you will assist me invest my share of this funds in a profitable
business in your country with your supervision. Please get back to me immediately so we can proceed.
Regards and God Bless.
Miss Peggy Ford
