Hello Dear,
We need your help. I know you will be surprised to receive this mail. I am
Addim Williams. The son of late Lucas Williams who died five years ago as a
result of the revolt and campaign of calamity visited on white farmers in
Zimbabwe. Though a black man but because of his upright stand that the
government forcefully took over of farms from the investors all in the name
of land reforms was absurd and inhuman, he was viewed as an enemy and
eventually murdered.
Ever since then, my mother and I has been in Zambia on asylum because of the
government in Zimbabwe has been hunting us. Before my father's death, he had
deposited the sum of Twelve million American dollars with a security company
in Ghana with the sole aim of acquiring some dredging equipments in setting
up of a dredging firm with his partner. With his death and all his assets
seized at home and accounts frozen, the family is now in a very difficult
situation.
Based on that, we are soliciting your assistance to help us retrieve our
consignment in USA as my family trustee. The amount involve is Twelve
Million united states dollars ($12Million).
This consignment has been in the United States since 12th October 2006. The
consignment was shipped to the USA to be claimed by my father's partner
alone and it got to our notice through the director of the security company
that the consignment has been moved to the United States by the request of
my late father's partner Mr. Kevin Moore. Actually, my late father's partner
has assess to information regarding the deposit made by father so he took
advantage of that to instruct the company to send the consignment across to
him in the USA.
We cannot trust my father’s partner because since the death of my father he
never cared for us even my sick mother, only interested in our money and for
you to believe he wanted the money to himself, he did not inform us that he
was taking the consignment to the United States. This is the situation we
found ourselves and that is why we have contacted you to help us stand as
our family trustee to claim this consignment over there in your country and
help us to come over there and start a new life.
We came to Ghana after we got the news from the director of the company.
Now, we have stopped the release of the consignment to him. The consignment
is still in the USA and we want a trustworthy person like you to help us
claim our consignment.We are ready to compensate you with 20% of the money
for your help us as we are in a very tight situation. We are ready to make
you the manager of our investment in the USA.
We will be glad if you respond to this call soonest. Please send your
response through this email address. You can contact us through this number
00233285061885 so that my mother and I can speak with you. Please send us
your international passport and your physical address.
We await your urgent reply.
Regards,
Addim Williams
For the family
