Subject: CONFIDENTIAL TRUST INVESTMENT UNDER YOUR CARE IN YOUR COUNTRY
Dear Sir/Madam,
am highly delighted about being in contact with you
following a good recommendation made about you by my
late husband before his death.
I am Mrs Josphine Quarshi of Zimbabwe, the wife, to
late minority right wing activist/environmentalist
and leader of the movemen for the survival
of white farmers in Zimbabwe.My husband Mr.John
Quarshi, who was killed
during the on going war against white farmers in
Zimbabwe .
It was the desire of our president Mr. Robert Mugabe
to claim all the land
owned by white farmers and redistribute them to his
party members and his
followers, Our president ordered all white farmers to
surrender all their
farms to his party members and followers.White farmers
who refused to do this were either maimed or
outrightly killed.
My Husband was one of hte biggest farmers in our
country and because he did not support president
Mugabe's ideas, president Mugabe's supporters invaded
my husband's farms and burnt down everything in the
farm, killed my husband, made away with a lot of
items in my husband's farm,and seized his
properties.
Before his death, my husband had deposited with one of
the new security company's in benin , the sum of US $12.5
million, (Twelve million five hundred thousand United
States dollars)Only.
Due to the hostilities, harassment and arrest being
visited on my family by the government of president
Robert Mugabe and his agents, I am therefore asking
for your kind understanding and assistance in the
transfer process
of this fund since the government of this country has
made it very unbearable for us to live here. The
fund as instructed by my husband in his
WILL shall be invested into meaningful and profitable
investments in your country. It has been resolved by
my family that the fund shall be disbursed
as follows:
5% for all local and international expenses incured by
both parties in the transfer process.
7% for the officials of the bank in benin assisting
in the transfer.
18% for you as compensation for your effort and other
assistance you may give in that regard.
70% for me and my family, which shall be released to
me as soon as i arrived your country with my
children after the money has been remitted into
your bank account.
However, for the remittance, it requires that you
should send the following:
1. Name and address of your bank
2. Account number to be used for the remittance
3. Your private tele, fax number and full address. As
a young widow, with three (3) children to look
after, you will need to give me sufficient assurance
and gurantee that you will not sit on the fund when
it is finally credited into your account.
I am sincerely optimistic that you will not betray
the trust and confidence which I was made to repose
in you considering the circumstnces in which my
husband was brutally killed. I await your earliest
reply .
Thanks and God bless you as you help us.
Best regard,
Mrs.Josphine Quarshi
