Hellow dear,
It's a pleasure reaching you through this means,my name is Steven Brown the only son of Dr Acthor Brown of zimbabwe. I got your contact address during my search on the net to solicit for a reliable and God fearing person. who can assist me. particularly in joint venture in your Country on lucrative business.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of our President ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the farms in our Country, so he ordered all the farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers. My father is one of the best farmers in our Country.
My father did not support his idea because of that, his supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt every thing in the farm and killed my father and confiscated all his investment.After the death of my father, I decided to move out of Zimbabwe because my was in danger.My father kept large amount of money in his hidden safe, since he does not have any account with any bank due to illiteracy but was successful in farming business.
The amount contained in the safe is US$16 Million United States Dollars), and I decided to move with the money through diplomatic means and I am currently forced to seek a political asylum as refugee here in Dublin the Republic of Ireland.
Meanwhile I was advised by my mother to find a reliable person who will set up a non-resident account with the same financial institution and have the fund transfered to his account overseas.
I cannot invest here or even allowed to touch the fund due to my political status. I cannot conclude this transaction alone. If you are

I need utmost trust and confidentiality and I want this to be concluded as soon as possible. It is also risk free, hence all the modalities is safe, smooth successful transaction has been arranged by me and my mother.I will ask my lawyer in africa to preparing all the documents in this business.
I also look forward to establish a good relationship with you.
