Hello Dear,
My name is RONALD KAITH, the elder son of Mr. DENNIS KAITH. of Zimbabwe.
I know this might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact
address. I got your address from the Internet during the time I was seeking
for a reliable person, who will honestly assist my younger sister and i
to realize our inherited funds into his/her account and as well as invest
it into a lucrative business.
During the recent war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of
our President, Robert Mugabe to claim all the white -owned farms to his
party members and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers to
surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father being one of the few rich and successful black farmers in our
country was also victimized because of his opposition to Mugabe's policies.
And because he did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded
my father’s farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and
made away with a lot of items in my father's farm. This action was taken
because my late father felt the growing tension on the farm issue, but I
guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought their brutal and sudden
death.
However with the benefit of hindsight, owing to the looming but
deteriorating crisis in my country, Zimbabwe, my father, before his
unfortunate death had deposited with one of the Security Company in Accra
Ghana in West Africa the sum of US$14 Million (Fortheen Million United
States Dollars).
After the death of my father, my sister and I escaped to the Republic of
Ghana where he had deposited the money in the Security Company as a family
valuable property. And we were permitted to reside here as Political
refugees. So Because of our present and unpleasant status here we decided to
contact an overseas firm / individual that can assist us to move this money
out Of Ghana because, as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any
financial transaction of such amount within Ghana.
We have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum for your assistance, and
the rest will be for my sister and I, to Invest in your country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your entire details including
your readiness to assist me achieve this transaction for investment purposes
in your country under your supervision. Please, reply me through my above
personal email address:ronald_kaith@hotmail.com for further details on how
to achieve this transaction. Also, send your direct phone and fax numbers
for further/easier communication.
I have to re-assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and should
be treated with absolute confidentiality. All the vital
documentation/certification that has to do with the origin of the fund is
with me for the security reasons. And I will send them to you when we
progress. And I guarantee you that this money is not government money, drug
money, or from arms deals.
I will detail you more immediately I receive your acceptance response.
I hope this is the beginning of a prosperous relationship between us.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
RONALD KAITH
