Subject: Dearest One
Good Day,
With warm hearts I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally.
However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind
and as a person of integrity.
My name is Miss Luice, the Daugther of Mr.and Mrs A. Issa Muhammed, a farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instinct, I decided to contact you through email, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for now. I apologize if this is not acceptable to you.
The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers. Actually all white farmers were asked to surrender their farms to the government for re-distribution and infact to his political party members and my father though black was the treasury of
the farmers association and a strong member of an opposition party that did not support the president's idea.
Thereafter he then ordered his party members and the police under his pay row to invade my father's farm
and burn down everything in the farm. They killed my father and took away a lot of items from his farm.
After the death of my father, our local pastor and a close friend of my father handed us over his will documents with instructions from my father that we should leave Zimbabwe incase anything happen to him, confirming a cash deposit totaling Fifteen million five hundred thousand united state dollars. [15.5m] Kept in custody for us in a security company unknown to the company that the content is money hence it was deposited as personal belongings. This money was deposited with this Private Security Company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Botswana.
This violent and barbaric act by Mugabe has since led to the death of my beloved mother and kid sister and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resisted for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts,
I fled Zimbabwe with the help of my father's close friend Mr. John Casahans from Australia also a farmer who was leaving in Zimbabwe with us but left with his family following this ugly development I have tried to reach him but all to no avail. I am currently staying in the Ivory Coast in west africa where I am seeking political asylum.
Therefore I need to you to help me claim this consignment and invest part of the money. Since the law of Ivory Coast prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction, this is why I am seeking a
genuine and reliable partner, whose account this money can be transferred, hence this proposal to you.
You have to understand that this decision taken by me is a very big and brave one, and it entrusts my future in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the private security company's office in (EUROPE)
Please, I want you to maintain absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.
Sincerely Yours,
Luice Issa
