Email: dukasoscar006@netscape.net
I am contacting you as the need for me to have a foreign partner in your country has become necessary due to my plans to relocate and establish a private company in that region. Presently, the political instability in my country (Zimbabwe), does not encourage financial investment as the environment is not conducive for investment and most of all security is not guaranteed, just as reported by the International media.
I decided to contact you after some series through the International Export Promotion Council due to the land and political problems in my country Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reforms wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers. All white farmers were asked to surrender their farms to the government for re-distribution and in fact to his political party members and my father was the treasurer of the JIBOUTI FARMERS' ASSOCIATION, and a strong member of an opposition party that did not support the president's idea. He then ordered his party members and the police under his pay row to invade our farm and burn down everything in the farm including livestock. They killed my father and took away a lot of items from his farm.
After the death of my father, our family lawyer who was a close friend of my father handed me over "A WILL" documents with instructions from my father that I should leave Zimbabwe immediately incase anything happened to him. The "WILL “documents has a certificate of deposit, confirming a cash deposit totaling Eighteen Million five hundred thousand, United States Dollars. {US$18.5M} kept in custody of a security company in Abroad.
It was to be used for the purchases of land, new machines and chemicals for establishment of new farms in Botswana. This violent and barbaric act by Mugabe’s group has since led to the death of my beloved mother and kid sister and other innocent citizens of my country. I left my country after the burial of my father to London to avoid being killed also by Mugabe's loyalists. I am currently staying in London. I need to transfer this money to an account in your country where I can have peace of mind for good investment of this money in a viable venture, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner I can trust.
I look forward to your quick reply while thanking you in advance as I anticipate your confidential co-operation. I will need your private telephone and fax numbers for easier and effective communication and possibly having a meeting with you.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Dukas Oscar.
