Subject: MY DAER FRIEND.
Dear Friend.
Please do not be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not
know me personally, but for the purpose of introduction. I am MRS HELEN
BOYO. the WIFE of Mr BOYO, who was recently murdered in the land dispute in
Zimbabwe.i got your contact from a database found in internet while
searching for a reliable and honest person that will assist me claim my
consignment.i was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names
found in the internet database. after series of prayers and fasting for
god's direction.and I decided to write for assistance.
My late HUSBAND was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in
cold blood by the agents of the ruling Government of President Robert
Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition
party controlled by the whites. Before his death, he deposite the sum of
Eighteen Million, Five Hundred ThousandUnited States
Dollars(US$18.5Million), with the Security and Finance Company in EUROPE,as
if he forsaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as consignment to the security company to
avoid seizure,and also to avoid much demurrage from the security
company.This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and
chemicals for farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho,Europe,
and Swaziland. This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land Act, which wholly affected the rich white farmers and
some few blacks vehemently condemned the "Modus Operandi" adopted by the
Government,that resulted to rampant killings and mob actions by the war
veteran and some political thugs.Precisely, more than thirty-one(31) people
have been killed. Heads of Government from the West, especially Britain and
United States of America have voiced their condermnation of Mugabe's plan.
Subsequently, the South Africa Government Community (S.A.G.C) has
continuously supported Mugabe's new land refrom Act.It is aganist this
background that I and my family who are currently staying in one of the
peace keepingAfrica country,i have decided to transfer my HUSBAND'S money
into a foreign account.As the WIFE , I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genune foreign account where this money could be transfered
without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our
family wealth and the Government of the Africa country that i am
currently staying seem to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount in Africa country that
i am currently staying for fear of seizure and encountering the same
experience in future since both countries have almost the same history.
Moreso,the country Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow such investnment
since I am an asylum seeker.
As a WOMAN who I must entrust my future and that of my family on his
hands,I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk-free.
Therefore,if you accept us we are willing to offer you 20% Of the total sum
for your assistance,70% will be for my family's investnment in your
country while 10% will be used for all expenses that might be incurred
during the process of the transaction.
NB: All The Documents of claim and The secret codes (e.g Pin No., Secret
Access Code) for this funds are safely kept with my family lawyer which I
will also want him to be involve in this transaction and get all the
documents send to you via my instruction as soon asyou express desire to
help me.
Best regards
MRS HELEN BOYO
MY DEAR FRIEND
