Dear Sir,
URGENT AND STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
How are you? I know you may be surprised to receive this letter, i am
a widow
requesting for an assistance . Firstly, I am MRS.MAGRETA T.LEPOTO the
wife of
Late
MR.DAMBA T.LEPOTO who was recently murdered in the land dispute in
Zimbabwe. I
got
your contact through the South African Trade and Business Information
services
and
I assure you that nobody knows about this transaction except me, my
two sons.
Before the death of my Husband. He took me to the London 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 from
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 z ones of the
Badagry Island .
Please, I need your assistance to transfer this fund to your trusted
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 transferred to your account.
Kindly,keep this business proposal highly confidential for security
reasons.if
you are interested in assisting me,send reply via the above email
address and
include your private phone and fax numbers. I will respond to you
immediately.
Looking forward to your urgent reply, God Bless.

MRS.MAGRETA T.LEPOTO (For The Family)
