Subject: urgent reply needed
HELLO.
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don't know me in person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MRS. JANE PETERSON , a citizen of Zimbabwe, the wife of late MR. NDLOVU PETERSON who was murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE.
I got your contact through the Thailand Information Exchange Online, and then I
decided to write you. My late husband was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of
President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party.
Before the death of my husband, he deposited the sum of Ten Million US Dollars ($10M) with a security company during when he went to Thailand to purchase his farm machinery equipment, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as a gem / precious stone to avoid seizure and much demurrage from the financial security organization.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President R. MUGABE introduced a new land Act, which wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampant killing and mob actions. I and my family who are
currently staying in Bangkok Thailand as a refugee asylum seeker, I have
decided to transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it. You
will read more story about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting. This
website:http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Thailand but
the financial law and Regulations of Thailand do not permit us financial rights to such huge sum of money. In view of this, I cannot invest the fund in Bangkok, Thailand. Moreover, the Thailand monetary policy/law does not allow such investment by an asylum seeker or refugee.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of
your business does not necessarily matter. So if you are willing to assist
us, I and my family have agreed to give you 20% of the total money, 40% will be for a joint business venture I will be doing with you and another 40% will be
for I and my family shall also invest in your country.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance,
endeavour to contact me through the above email address. I also
need your private telephone and fax numbers for quick communication. Remember that this transaction is highly confidential. Expect your reply soonest.
Best regards.
MRS JANE PETERSON
(FOR THE FAMILY)
