Subject: Dear Friend,
Dear Friend, I hope that this email will find you in good health and sound
mind. As we progresses,it is relevant that I tell you more things about
myself and my family so that you will become acquainted with us.I am the
only child of late Mr John Mungofa Gwindi , a big time farmer from
Zimbabwe.Due to the political problems in Zimbabwe and as a result of
president Robert Mugabe's introduction of new 'land act reform' that is
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,in fact to his political party members and my late father
though black was a big time farmer and a strong member of an opposition
party that did not support Mr Mugabe's policies. President Robert Mugabe
then ordered the police under his pay row to invade my father's farm.They
killed my father and took away a lot of items from his farm and our house.
After his death ,the Reverend of our church handed over an envelop which
contains some documents with instructions from my father that I and my
mother should leave Zimbabwe in case anything happen to him.Also found in
the envelop was a deposit slip - confirming a cash deposit totaling ten
million United States dollars [US$10m] deposited in a security company here
in cote d`ivoire west africa. This violent and barbaric act by Mr Mugabe has
since led to the death of many innocent people.We were continually
threatened after my father died.We resisted for a while, but when the danger
became unbearable,we fled Zimbabwe with the help of my father's close friend
from England also a farmer who was living in Zimbabwe but left with his
family following this ugly development.We have tried to reach him through
the contact he gave us but so far to no avail.To ascertain the authenticity
of my claims,I would like you to have a look at information pertaining this
political crisis from Internet on the following websites below.

Actually, it took me a great courage before I was able to make up my mind to
write you this proposal because I considered this medium as not being the
most suitable especially as we have not met before but considering our
condition of stay here, this means became the only avaliable option.I would
like you to know that it is my family's desire that this transaction when
completed shall be of benefit to all the parties involved.We have affinity
for the improvement of the less privileged having passed through a lot of
difficulties associated with our exit from Zimbabwe to arrival here in
Abidjan for a temporary asylum and also to work towards retrival of this
deposit to your care for a joint investment in any business which will be of
benefit to every party concerned since this deposit is now the only thing
left for us out of all my late dad's possessions - having lost all to the
political crisis. It is my family's interest to invest through your
guardiance US$10 million.As to what we are exactly seeking from you,we just
need your unflinching support and assurance that you will not disappoint or
let down the trust which we are about reposing on you.This is going to be
our first experience in the fields of international transactions and
investments. Therefore,we shall rely solely on your advise and guidance as
you well know the business environment within your country. Also,we will
want you to understand that it will be our joy to set up a foundation in
memory of my late father which shall be for the assistance of the needy. As
you may like to know, it is our wish that 70% of this fund be invested with
you in the form of a joint investment while 10% shall be set aside for us
so as to help in our comfortable stay when we eventually relocate to your
country, 15% shall be for you for your assistances in receiving the fund on
our behalf and it's investment while 5% shall be set aside for any
expenses,if any in executing this transaction.Finally,if you accept to
assist us in this project,we will forever remain grateful to you On hearing
from you,you will be updated with next step.Till then, I await to read from
you very soon to enable us discuss further. Till then,do have a nice day.
Sincerely,
David Gwindi
