HELLO DEAR FRIEND,
I AM WRITING THIS WITH GREETINGS AND DUE RESPECT, BELIEVING THAT GOD ALMIGHTY WILL TOUCH YOUR HEART FOR YOU TO GIVE MY REQUEST PROPER AND URGENT ATTENTION. THERE MAYBE ABSOLUTE DOUBT IN YOUR MIND ABOUT THE GENUITY AND SINCERITY OF THIS CONTENT, COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT SO MANY MISCREANTS HAVE TAKEN POSSESSION OF THE INTERNET TO FACILITATE THEIR NEFARIOUS DEEDS, THEREBYMAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR GENUINE AND SINCERE PEOPLE NOT GIVEN PROPER ATTENTION, EVEN TO THE CRYING OF INNOCENT ONES AND LESS PRIVILEGEIN THE SOCIETY. PROVERB SAYS THAT LITTLE UNDERSTANDING IS AS RESULTOF LITTLE INFORMATION THEREFORE; I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEARER TO YOURUNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH INTERNET SCAMAS YOU MAY THINK.
I AM MRS. PEACE MUABOH, WIFE OF LATE DR. PROMISEMUABOH. A SOCIALIST, ACTIVIST AND FORMER COMMISSIONER FOR FINANCE OF MASHONALAND STATE, ZIMBABWE. MY HUSBAND WAS ADOPTED ON SUNDAY FEBRUARY13TH, 2005 IN HARARE ZIMBABWE, BY UNKNOWN GROUP OF MEN. EFFORTS HAVEBEEN MADE TO TRACE HIS WARE ABOUT, WHETHER ALIVE OR DEAD, BUT ALL IN VAIN. SINCE MY HUSBAND WAS ADOPTED, MY TWO KIDS AND I HAS BEEN GOIN GTHROUGH SEVERAL HARASSMENT, ARREST AND UNNECESSARY INTERROGATIONS IN THEHANDS OF GOVERNMENT SECURITY AGENTS. THE WAY AND MANNER IN WHICH THOSE SECURITY AGENTS OPERATES, I HAVE NO DOUBT TO BELIEVE THAT MY HUSBAND'S ADOPTION OR POSSIBLY KILLED MAY BE MASTERMINDED FROM THE PRESIDENCY, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND AND OTHERS WERE AGAINST PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE'S LAND POLICY.
THESE SECURITY AGENTS HAVE SEALED MOST OF MY HUSBAND’s PROPERTIES UP. WE ARE NO LONGER FREE AND SAVE IN OUR COUNTRY.I CAN NO LONGER MOVE FREELY IN THE CITY NOR TO SEND MY TWO KIDS TO SCHOOL, BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF OUR SAFETY. BEFORE THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MY HUSBAND, HE MADE A DEPOSIT OF ABOUT TWENTY SIX MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$26,000,000.00) IN A COMMERCIAL BANK AND IN FAVOR OF MY FIRST AND ONLY SON MASTER PROMISE MUABOH JR. MY HUSBAND MADE HIS STATEMENT CATEGORICALLY TO THE COMMERCIAL BANK AND TO OUR LAWYER THAT MY SON MASTER PROMISE MUABOH JR. WILL TAKE POSSESSION OF THE DEPOSIT FROM THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN YEARS, WHICH WOULD BE FROM DECEMBER MONTH, 2008.
HOWEVER, THERE IS US$6.2M WHICH MY LATE HUSBAND DEPOSITED WITHA FINANCE HOUSE OUT OF OUR COUNTRY IN MY FAVOR, HENCE MY CONTACT TO YOU.NOW, I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU WILL KINDLY ASSIST ME TO RECEIVE THE US$6.2M FROM THE FINANCE HOUSE AND TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING ARRANGEMENTS FOR ME ANDMY TWO KIDS IN YOUR COUNTRY:
1. TO BUY A HOUSE FOR US IN YOURCOUNTRY.
2. TO HELP US TO FACILITATE OUR RE-LOCATION TO YOUR COUNTRY.AND TO GUARD ME TO INVEST THE LITTLE AMOUNT THAT MAY REMAIN WHEN WE COMEOVER TO YOUR COUNTRY. THIS WILL HELP ME TO GIVE MY KIDS PROPER EDUCATION AND UP BRINGING.
PLEASE IF IT PLEASES YOU, I WILL APPRECIATE THAT. AFTER THE REMITTANCE OF THE FUND INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, WE WILL RELOCATE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS. I WILL OFFER YOU 20% OFTHE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE FUND. ANY TAX (S) THAT MAY BE DEMANDED BY ANY AUTHORITY OR YOUR GOVERNMENT IN RESPECT OF THIS TRANSFER MUST BE DEDUCTED FROM THE REMAINING AMOUNT OF MY OWN FUND. PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL APPRECIATE TO HANDLE THIS MATTER WITH YOU ALONE ON HIGH CONFIDENTIAL LEVEL TO AVOID ANY THIRD PARTY AND UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO MY FAMILY, AS SUCH MAY BRING SERIOUS PROBLEM AND FURTHER HARASSMENT TO MY FAMILY.
I AM EXPECTING TO HEARING FROM YOU AND TO RECEIVE YOUR COMPLETE ADDRESS, YOUR TELEPHONE/FAX NUMBERS STRICTLY VIA THIS EMAIL ADDRESS: PMOSHE505@LATINMAIL.COM. AS SOON AS WE FINALLY AGREED TO PROCEED ON THIS MATTER, I WILL SEND LETTER OF AUTHORITY TO THE FINANCE HOUSE, AUTHORIZING THEM TO RELEASE AND REMIT THE FUND INTO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT DELAY. NOTE, THAT THIS BUSINESS HAS NORISK OR ANY LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF WHATSOEVER. AS YOU HELP ME OF THIS SITUATION, SO SHALL THE ALMIGHTY GOD MEET YOU AT THE POINT OF YOUR NEED.
I LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVE YOUR QUESTION IN ORDER TO CLARIFY ISSUE AS IT MAY BE BOTHERING YOUR MIND.
