Subject: From Francis Ford,Business Proposal,
Dear Sir, This letter may come as a surprise because we have not met nor had any previous correspondences but was borne out of my sincere burning desire to establish a business/mutual relationship with you. I got your contact during my research and l hope I will not regret ever approaching you because this present world is filled of dishonesty and mistrust.
My name is Francis Ford, the only son of Mr. Terry Simpson Ford who was murdered by the agents of President Robert Mugabe due to his opposition to the oppressive and exploitative Land reforms Act. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with events and fragile political situation in Zimbabwe but I know it has formed consistent head lines in the CNN, BBC news bulletins. You can further read about the death my late father via
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/zimbabwe/article/0,2763,669960,00.html) the pressure from the government forced me and my family out of Zimbabwe into exile in South Africa, where we have been living under political asylum for a few years now. Sadly, my mother died of cancer some months ago. Prior to her death, she handed me over a certified documents meant for Deposit, which my father made with the Private Security Company. The deposit, which is worth $16,000.000.00(Sixteen Million United States Dollars), was deposited before the out break of war. He deposit in his name with the hope of relocating his family to the neighboring Country (Tanzania) but was murdered when the conflict intensified as a result of his opposition to the oppressive and despotic government of Robert Mugabe.I have contacted the Security Company to confirm the deposit and established an ownership link as next of kin. With respect to the certified document handed over to me by my mother after the death of my father and followed by her death and the continued hostility in my country Zimbabwe, I have decided to remain here for now and solicit for the assistance of an honest and trustworthy person who will assist me in the business re-investment of the said money.
I cannot do this due to my present social status as a refugee here and my total ignorance of the business world. You will be given 30% of the said money and a share holder base in the investment if secured. If you are honest, trustworthy, capable of investing this sum of money, contact me to give you all the details you need to know about this immediately. For my safety, you must maintain absolute confidentiality to ensure success. Please, indicate your personal Tel/Fax numbers when replying this mail. I will let you view my late father's Depositary Certificate when I receive your sincerely mail. My warm regard, Francis Ford,.(fensa@inmail24.com)alternative E-mail:
