DEAREST ONE,
I know this mail may come to you as a surprise considering the fact that we have not had any formal acquaintance before and this medium (Internet)has been grossly abused but for the sake of God,your own children and humanity I would want you to give
this an immediate attention in view of the fact that the security of our lives and future are at stake .
I am SANDRA WILLIAMS am 23 years old from
ZIMBABWE but presently domiciled in Red Cross VALENCIA- SPAIN with my younger brother MADOX WILLIAMS JR. who is 21 years old. My father Mr MADOX KHUMALO WILLIAMS who before his untimely assassination by the ruthless government forces of Robert Mugabe was
a renowned Farmer in Bulawayo Town in Zimbabwe He was killed in our home town residential house at Bulawayo along side two of my other brothers, two house maids,because my father joined the international community in condemning and speaking out against t
his uncivilized and bizarre policy of Robert Mugabe's government. As a result of my father firm and upright position on this matter, a group of assailants suspected to be government sympathizers attacked and killed my father in cold blood in February las
t year . Fortunately for Me, my younger brother and mother, we were at our house in Harare the capital city were we reside as our mother decided that we stay with her while others go the weekend with my father. As we got the news of the tragedy. We immed
iately managed to ran into neighbouring country ( Johannesburg )in South Africa for refuge. But unfortunately. As fate would have it, we lost our dear mother (may her soul rest in peace) as a result of what the Doctor called cardiac arrest.
As we were coming into Johannesburg , we had some documents of a deposit of US$15.7m (Fifteen Million seven hundred thousand US$) deposited by my late father in a security and trust company here in Spain . According to my late mother our father had, sens
ing
the rising hostilities, sold some of his farm lands including those of some of his white farmer associates who had transferred ownership of their farm lands to my father to forestall the government acquiring them he intends to use this fund for his inter
national business .
Right now we are in Spain through the help of the red cross society and the catholic church in Johannesburg. We had located the security company where the money is deposited with the help of an attorney we were able to establish ownership in my name as t
he next of KIN. Please right now, with the bitter experiences we had in our country we can not go back because we don't have any body to stay with, Coupled with the incessant political upheavals and
hostilities in our country today and African sub regions, we desire seriously to leave here and live the rest of our life into a more peaceful and politically stable country like yours.
Following the misfortune that has befallen our future, We therefore wish that you can help us in the following regards:
1)To adopt us as your own children as we do not wish to go back to Africa.
2) To help us Manage and invest the money into a lucrative business when claimed from the finance and security company.
3) To assist us get a college admission to further our education as it was the wish of our parents before there death.
4) To assist us in getting residential permits for formal and comfortable stay in your country after the money must have been transferred into your care if you would not adopt us as your children.
Please I know that, this letter may sound strange and incredible to you, but the CNN and the BBC African bulletin always have it as their major news features and the United Nations News even till date.
Therefore for the sake of God and humanity give an immediate positive consideration and reply to me through my e-mail address or call me through my indicated phone above. We shall willingly agree to offer you any suitable percentage of the money you will
propose as your compensation for your assistance with regards to the above if you would not have us as your own children, as we don't intends to share any thing with our would be parents.
Please in view of our sensitive refugee status and as we are still
conscious of our father's enemies. I would like you to give this a highly confidential approach.
Best Regards.
Sandra Williams
