information about you and decided to contact you for an important
assistance. I am Susan Ige a citizen of Zimbabwe , but i am contacting from
a neibouring country here in IVORY CAOST where i am now sicking political
assylum.Iam the only daughter of kenneth Ige, a wealthy farmer and senior
politician with the opposition political party n my country, Movement for
Democratic Change [MDC. My father was murdered by our wicked president,
Robert Mugabe and I fled my country because I have become his next target to
eliminate.

wanting to end the several years of brutal dictatorship government of
President Robert Mugabe. You will read more stories about President Mugabe's

My father was accused of Treason and also assisting the White farmers in
fighting the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he was reported dead.
The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body was never seen
for proper autopsy, they buried him in the government cemetery. My father's
associate Mr. Martin Olds a White farmer from Britain assisted me in
fighting my father's death through the
Court and media; the government saw us as a big treat to them and decided to
eliminate us. Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his house, but
fortunately,
before they came looking for me, I received the news and I had to flee
through the border to South Africa to save my life. My arrival here in IVORY
COAST still remains like a miracle to me.Here, is my reasons for contacting
you,
I am having a huge sum of money in the total sum of $70.6Million presently
lodge with the security company in Abroad, My father kept this money in two
trunk boxes in
disguise as family treasures and could not bank them, because of the
situation in my country. My father's business, farms and banks account were
seized by the government before his arrest and murder.
He told me everything concerning the funds while he was still in detention
and I have made several arrangements concerning the shipment of the boxes
out of my country because we cannot invest it there. I was on the process
when I fled the country. I need your assistance in securing the funds there
in your country, so that I can arrange on how to come over to your country
to invest with the fund I am willing to offer you 30% of the $70.6Million or
your assistance.Please, let me know if you can assist me, so that I can give
you more details on how we shall proceed. As
I wait for your urgent response, please treat this information as top
secret.
Regards,
Susan Ige
