Subject: URGENT ATTENTION
Dear Friend,
It is with heart full of hope that I write to seek
your help in the context below.I am Mrs.Saviour Dorman
the wife of the late John Edward Dorman Who Was
assassinated on 8th August 2002 in Harare.I have no
doubt about your capacity and good will to assist me
in receiving into your custody(for safety)the sum of
$4.7 M (Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand dollars)
Willed and deposited in my late husband's favour here
in Europe.
During the Curent War against farmers in Zimbabwe and
from the Support of our President ROBERT MUGABE to
claim all the white owned farms in our country,all the
white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to
his party members and his followers,My husband who was
one of the best farmers did not support his idea so
the party members invaded my husband's farm and burnt
everything in the farm and they killed my husband and
made away with a lot of items in my husband's farm.
After my husband was killed,my children and I have no
other option than to ran out of Zimbabwe because our
lives were in danger.This money is currently deposited
with a Finance and Security Company here in Europe.
Fortunately,our family lawyer had secretly protected
the " personal will" of my husband and have strictly
advised that the willed money be urgently moved into
an overseas account of trusted foreign family friend
without delay,for subsequent investment.
The government had earlier placed foreign transfer
embargo on all our family members,seized all known
local and international outfit of our business
empire.The Situation has been so terrible that we are
virtually living on the assistance of well wishers and
few Sympathizers of my late husband. In view of this
plight therefore,I expect you to be trust Worthy and
kind enough to respond to this call to save my
children and I from a hopeless future.
I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid
effort in this regard With 20% of the total sum when
finally received in your local bank account.
NB: Please treat as top secret, as we are here now as
Refugee's/Asylum Seekers.Please contact my son through
his email address below:
(nelson62conga@aim.com).
I look forward to your quick response.
Thanks and god bless you.
Yours truly,
Mrs.Saviour dorman
(for the family).
