From: "Mrs.Rutendo Dorman" <dormanfamilymail@web2mail.com>
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 02:53:21 +0100
Subject: Greeting's from Mrs.Rutendo Dorman Family
Dear Friend,
It is with heart full of hope that I write to seek your help in the context
below.I am Mrs.Rutendo 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:
(dormanfamily@web2mail.com).
I look forward to your quick response.
Thanks and god bless you.
Yours truly,
Mrs.Rutendo dorman
(for the family).
