Subject: Mrs Janet William (widow)
From Mrs. Janet William N0 1 Van Der Linder Road Bramly
Gwanda town, Zimbabwe.
Dear Sir ,
How are you and the rest of the family? I hope you are fine.
I can understand how surprise this letter will mean to you, but would advice that you consider it as a request from a family in dare need of assistance.
I am Mrs. Janet William of Gwanda town in Zimbabwe but i am currently here with my only son in Ivory Coast as (REFUGEE) asylum seeker.
I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance to transfer my cash of EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY (US$ 18.0000.000 MILLION) into your account for safekeeping. This fund is inherited from my late husband who was assassinated by the president's (ROBERT MUGABE'S) aides in view of taking his lands and property during the crisis, which lead to the killing and banishing of foreign (white) farmers.
After the death of my husband (A day I can never forget) I was approached by our family lawyer who told me that my late husband had filed a document with him which stipulates his 'WILL, In the 'WILL' he specifically pointed and I quote,"Darling, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of Eighteen Million United States Dollars (US$18.000.000 Million) which I deposited with a FINANCIAL FIRM in Ivory Coast with all the documents filed by my lawyer.
In case of my absence on earth caused by death only, you should solicit for a foreigner that can assist you to transfer the money out of there (Ivory Coast) for investment purposes. I have saved this money to make the future of my only son 'MICHEAL' and you my wife immediately the government started eyeing my business and involvements with the white farmers. Please take good care of MICHEAL and yourself; we shall meet to part no more.
From the above, you will understand that my future especially the future of my only son depends on this money, as such I will be grateful if you can assist me in transferring this fund to your account overseas for investments.
E-mail me back for more details, as i have been here to arrange the modalities of transferring this fund with some top Bank directors to avoid any hitch.
For your assistance i have agreed to offer you 20% of the whole fund, 5% for any expenses that may be incurred during the cause of this transaction,while the remaining 75% will be kept for me under your care till my arrival in your country for investments. Please while replying kindly attach your direct telephone and fax numbers for our easy communication.
God bless you for your anticipated understanding and co-operation.
Best Regards,
Mrs Janet William (widow) On behalf Of William family.
