Subject: MY DEAR FRIEND
My Dear,
How are you and your family today? I hope that you are all okay? I found
information about you and decided to contact you for an important
assistance. I am Prince m Nkomo. a citizen of Zimbabwe,but i am contacting
from a neigboring West African country here in NIGERIA where i am now
sicking political assylum. I am the only son of Kenneth Nkomo, a wealthy
farmer and senior politician with the opposition political party in 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
hisnext target to eliminate. My father was a fighter for Justice and a
moving force in the MDC, a part wanting to end the several years of brutal
dictatorship government of President Robert Mugabe. You will read more
stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting this web
sites;http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html 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 NIGERIA 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 $13.6Million presently lodge with the security company in
holland,My father kept this money in 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 $13.6Million
for 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 and reply to
princenkomo99@yahoo.co.in
Regards,
Prince M Nkomo.
