Dear Friend
Greetings!
This letter is strictly personal, intimate and confidential. Forgive this unusual manner of contacting you, but this particular letter is of exceptional and of very private nature.
There is no way for me to know whether I will be properly understood, but it is my duty to write and reachout to you. For I know that you are the only one my instinct focuses on to handle this project effectively without making us regret.
Having obtained your contact from the Internet and coupled with my instinct after my prayers, I decided to contact and solicit your mutual assistance at all cost.
I am Thompson Archibald Duke, the son of Archibald Duke, one of the popular black farmer in Zimbabwe. we ran to Ivory Coast after the land dispute in my country. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the
killingand mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.because of land and farmland crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to
disposed the land being occupied by the white farmers.
This action has led to killing of some members of opposition party, In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was under treat and we had to run down to ivory coast where my father bought 2500 acres of land where we grow maize and tobacco with cocoa and my father was granted pioneer status by the government of Ivory Coast.The most unfortunate incident of my life came to me on the 12th of October, 2005 when my father and mother with mytwo kid sisters were burnt alive by the Ivorean west Rebels accusing my father of supporting the Government side. there was nothing left in the house as everything burnt to ashes.
The government of Ivory Coast could not do anything for me about this and since then the country has been underkillings of strangers by the Government and Rebel Soldiers.
I have been alone in this whole wide world without my loving parents and two kid sisters and will never forget this day until my death. May their gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
Before the death of my father, he had told me about the fixed deposit sum of US8.6 million (Eight million, Six Hundred thousand United States dollars), in Banque Commerciale Du Burkina Faso, as he foresaw the looming danger in Ivory Coast.
This amount was meant for the purchase of newmachines and chemicals for relocation to Swaziland and establishment of new farms in Swaziland before his sudden death.
I am now faced with the dilemma of claiming this amount of money out of Banque Commerciale Du Burkina as the bank said that i cannot put claims on the money as it was deposited for my father's foreign partner,so the requirements for me to procure and put claim to the money is too difficult for me.
A banker advised me to get someone who can claim this money for me, by fronting him as my father’s foreign associate.
It is therefore upon this fact that I decided to make this appeal to you, to further assist me claim my father’s money out of Banque Commerciale Du Burkina Faso as my Father’s foreign business associate hence I have no other place to run to, as I have now withdrawn from furthering my school due to hardship and I am presently in Burkina Faso based on this issue and it has not been so easy with me.
I keep everything to myself and confidential as you don’t know who is who.
I seek your international help because that is were my instinct leads me to for a peace of mind. Henceforth , I solicit your assistance in concluding this mission so that i can complete my education in your country.
As soon as the money gets to your account, I will need you to help me secure visa to your country and help me further my education and invest this money wisely.
I would reward you handsomely out of this amount for your gracious and noble assistance.
Kindly get back to me at the receipt of this mail and on time too, if you are ready to help me out of this situation.
I am therefore, expecting your urgent response, as soon as you receive my message.
Yours faithfully,Thompson Duke.
