J'ai une nouvelle adresse mailVous pouvez maintenant m'écrire à : hameedabdul01@yahoo.fr
Dearest Beloved,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising for you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity.
My name is Abdul Hameed, ( SO ) Mr. Abdul Latif Mirza, a Pakistan farmer based in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I decided to contact you through email, after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons. However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you.
The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, 4,500 white commercial farmers have had much of their land confiscated without compensation leaving just 500 white farmers in Zimbabwe. and his desire to hold on to power for life, my father forsaw the danger that came in Zimbabwe.
Before he was murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and sold up our shares in major companies. We then transfered to Abidjan, Ivory Coast the sum of US$ 4.5 million (Four million, Five Hundred Thousand US dollars), since it was hard to tranfer this money directly to Pakistan due to fear of having our money being siezed by the United State Government due to the terrorist network going on in most Muslim countries today.
President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and after I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe.
I am currently staying now in Abidjan where I am seeking political asylum.
In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because of this money that my father lodged in a Commercial Bank here. I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of this money.
I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can be transferred, hence this proposal to you. You have to understand that this decision taken by me entrusts my future in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money.
For your assistance, I have (2)two options for you. (Firstly) You can choose to have 10% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the money to be transfer to your country. (Secondly) You can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country in a 90% / 10% shares bases.
Whichever the option you want, please try to notify me in your reply. Please, I want you to maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.
Sincerely,
FROM Abdul Hameed.
