Dear Friend,
I know this letter will come as a surprise to you, but I would like you to
give it top consideration so as to help me and my family out from our
present economic predicament,which the entire family is facing this time
around. I am kingsley makeke the first son of Mr Richard Makeke a liberian
citizen who based in Zimbabwe and a farmer/gold marchant in Zimbabwe. My
father, Mr Richard makeke who was under the Zimbabwean police custody
awaiting trial for not quiting his farm as directed and instructed by the
Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe that the foriegn farmers in the country
should vacate their farmland and go back to their country. But my father due
to what he has invested in Zimbabwe and also on his farm refused quitting,
it is because of this that the president instructed the police to lock him
and all his properties are now seized by the Zimbabwean Government. he later
died in detention, All effort made by my fathers friend Mr.David Connecting,
the Zimbabwean Minister for Agriculture and my mother who is also a
Zimbabwean citizen to release my father was to no avail. My mother, Mrs.
Rebecca makeke knowing fully well that the case of my father is a serious
case revealed to me that my father Mr. Richard makeke deposited some money
in a particular BANK IN GHANA. She has given me all the necessary documents
concerening thIS transcation, and the money involved is fourty five million,
United States dollars (45.m USD). My mother said I should search for a
reliable foriegner to keep the money because of safety as instructed her by
my father Mr. Richard makeke. my family lawyer advised me that i should look
for a relaible and trustworthy person who will act as a NEXT OF KIN to the
funds in other for the funds to be transfered to his foriegn account. this
will make us collect the funds easyly and invest it for a profitable
business abroad. . we have also resolved to realise 25%o of the funds to
you, and 3% set asside for all expenses we may incure in the transfer
process. More information about this will be given to you as soon as I
receive your response to this email.
