Sir/Madam,
With due respect, trust and humility I write this letter to you seeking
your assistance, though it is difficult since we have not met before.
I believed that you are capable and reliable in handling this urgent
international transaction of this sort. For clarity, I am MRS.suzzan
SMITH, the wife of COMRADE BORDER SMITH, the Zimbabwean former Minister
for youth & Gender Equality who is also a businessman and politician in the
Zimbabwean political arena.
My husband was the famous politician who stood firmly against President
Mugabes idea of continuos fight in Democratic Republic of Congo and my
husband also stood against seizure of white firms and the distribution of it
to
the blacks without compensation to the owners.
Because of my husband sincerity he was killed on the
14th April 2001 by a planned motor accident along Mashonaland in
Western Mashona province of Zimbabwe, the planners of the accident are
said to be dissidents soldiers occurred suspected to have the backing of the
government and president Mugabe.
Sir, when this accident occurred my husband did not die on the spot
rather he was rushed to Harare hospital by unknown soldiers and my husband
managed to sneak a written message to us, explaining his condition
concerning the
fund he deposited in oversees in my name which amount US$22.5M {Twenty
Two Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars} and other vital
documents which he kept in care of our family lawyer.
This fund was meant for his political campaign for the year 2002
election bid. Regarding the unfortunate incident, he instructed me to
leave the country for safety and i relocated to Australia immediately for my
safety.He further explained in his letter that the fund is in a
reliable and trustworthy bank in oversees who help to keep the fund safely.
Be
informed that the original documents of deposit are kept intact with our
family
lawyer and shall be given to you with the particulars of the bank for
confirmation.
Based on the country Law, which bears asylum seeker/refugee like us not
to operate a bank account that exceed US$2000 and the fear of money now
raising eyebrow here in Zimbabwean. I decided to write you with the notion
seeking your kind assistance to help me and claim the fund on my behalf from
the bank oversees as the beneficiary and help lodge the funds in your
nominated
bank account for safety purpose. I want to assure you also that this
transaction is 100% risk free as no other person knows about this fund
apart
from our family lawyer and I. Sir, as for your reward towards the assistance
i have agreed to give you 30% of the total fund. I planned to invest the
rest of the money in your
country under your guidance on a lucrative business. If you are willing to
help
me try as much as possible to reach me with this: email:
to enable us proceed in earnest towards concluding all transaction.
Please bear in mind that our lives depend on this fund and we do hope
that this money will be safe when finally transferred into your
account.Meanwhile, i shall come overthere as soon
as
you receive the fund into your account.
I look for ward to hearing from you soon.
