Subject: FEEL ME
HELLO,
With due respect trust and humility, I write to you
irrespective of the fact you do not know me,but please
do consider this letter as a request from a brother and
family in dire need of assistance. I am Mr Dave
Fara, the ousted Zimbabwian farmer of fara farms in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact courtesy of a business journal from
the Nigerian Information exchange in my earnest search
for a reliable and trustworthy individual or company
that can assist my family in this business.
During the war waged against the farmers in Zimbabwe
by the supporters and cohorts of President Robert
Mugabe, to claim all the white/blacks owned farmer in
our country, My farm was among the farm targeted by the ZANU_PF armed
group, because he did not support the ideas and
policies. In the cause of the revolution in the
country, the ZANU_PF armed group attacked and invaded
my farm land, burning, destroying and eventual
killing of my staffs and two year old kid.
I managed to escaped the boundaries of Zimbabwe into the
neighboring Nigeria with my two surviving sons because our lives
where threatened and Zimbabwe was no longer safe for us.
We escaped safely into Nigeria with my
lifetime savings and auction money realised from the sale of my farm assets
totalling about US$5Million ( Five Million United
State Dollars) cash, important documents of property
tittle and other valuables which we concealed and
secured in two treasure boxes and transported to
Lagos,Nigeria through diplomatic means. The
consignment box treasure safely lodged and secured
into the vaults of a reputable security company and brokerage
firm here in Lagos,Nigeria.In recognition of your
person and investment opportunities
that abound in your country.Since i came to Nigeria i have tried investing
with little cash at hand but the people and business terrain here are not
helping matters,i have been strapped of my cash in two investments here.
I solicit for your assistance in moving my family’s
money into your care for safekeeping pending our
future arrival for investment. The family has resolved
to compensate you adequately by offering a brokerage
commission of 20% of the money.If you are unable to
assist please be kind to notify me so that we can look for
suitable alternative.
Please accept my warm complements, as i earnestly await
your response.
Respectfully,
Mr Dave Fara.
