in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through the South

Before the death of my Husband. He took me to republic of togo to deposit
the sum of US$15.6 Million (Fifteen Million Six Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) in a private Security Company, when He
foresees the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited as family valuables to avoid much demurrage
cost for the Security Company. This amount was meant for the
purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and also for the
establishment of a new farm in Swaziland. The land disputes started
when Zimbabwean President MR. ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new Land Act
reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few
black farmers.
This resulted to many killings by Zimbabwe war veterans and some
lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because
of this land reformed Act for which my husband was one of the
victims. It is on this background that My family and I,who are
currently staying in an Island called Badagry Island it shares the
same border with cotonu and nigeria.as refugees decided to transfer
my Husband?s money to a foreign country since the laws of Island
prohibits refugees from opening a bank account that can contain a
huge sum or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout
the territorial zones of the Badagry Island .

overseas bank account. For your efforts and assistance, I have agreed
to give you 25% of the total sum, while 5% is mapped out to
re-imburse all the expenses incurred in the course of this
transaction and 70% will be for my family investment in your country.
Note that this transaction is 100% clear and Risk-Free,as I have made
every necessary arrangements for a successful deal.The only thing I
solicit you is total assistance to transfer this money, complete
trust and assurance that my own part of money will be safe when
