From: "rwoods" <rwoods@terra.com.mx>
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2006 10:26:49 -0600
Subject: hello
Hello,
This letter might come as a surprise to you. I got your email contact address with the help of yahoo search engine, as this is the only possible means for me to make fast contact.
Before I go further permit me to introduce my humble self, I am Roseline the eldest son of Late Dr. Smith Omar of Zimbabwe.
I am contacting you On behalf of my family and with faith in my heart that you will be willing to help us.
My father was one of the biggest farmers in our country and during the war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from President Robert Mugabe and his supporters to claim some farms for his party members and followers he ordered all farmers in the capital region to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers, my father being one of the prominent farmers in our country strongly opposed Mugabe's ideas and so with Mugabe's instruction his supporters invaded his farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my Father, leaving several other farm workers half dead as they luthed our farm.
Before his death, my Father had deposited with one Security Company, the sum of USD.7.3 Seven Million, three hundred thousand (United States dollars).
This was money he planned to use in buying new machinery and to set up a new farm in Swaziland. Due to the continued harassment and treat by Mugabe's men to kill me after the death of my father, for security reasons, I decided to escape to seek asylum in Benin Republic.
Presently, I am already in the asylum camp in Benin Republic. However, as the eldest person in the family I decided to contact a Trustworthy person who can help us claim this money, as our status does not permit us to handle this.
The fund has been in the security company in Europe just for safe keeping although the security company were not aware of the content of the case because it was conveyed as personal valuable goods, I have all documents with me as of when it was deposited in a Security Vault for safe keeping.
Till I hear from you, take care my friend.
Sincerely,
Roseline.
