ATTN: Sir/madam,
My name is Mrs. Felicia Jones, the wife of late Mr. Frank Jones, of
Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address I
got it from the net.
I am using this opportunity to express my predicaments to you during the
current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our
President ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our country,
he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to
His party members and their followers. My husband was one of the best
farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the president's
political ideology, the president's supporters invaded my husband's farm,
burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of the wounds sustained, he
became sick and died after two days. And after his death I became a widow
over night with my only Son (Mark) and one daughter (Lucy) we decided to
move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to LONDON UNITED KINGDON.
Before he died, he wrote his 'WILL' which reads: 'MY BELOVEED SON (Mark) I
WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF £13 MILLION POUNDS STERLING WHICH
I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN LONDON(UNITED KINGDOM) IN
CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY' you should solicit for
reliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of UNITED
KINGDOM for the family care and investment purposes I deposited the money in
your Name (Mark Jones)and it can be claimed by you with the help of a
foreign partner using the deposit code. Your mother has all the documents.
Take good care of your mother and your sister.
>From the above you will understand that the lives and future of my family
depends on this money as much as I will be very grateful if you can assist
us. We are now living in UNITED KINGDOM as POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the
financial Law of UNITED KINGDOM do not allow an ASYLUM SEEKER any financial
right to operate such huge amount of money .In view of this I cannot invest
this money in UNITED KINGDOM Hence I am asking you to assist us transfer
