From: MR. ANDREN MARTIN <andrenmartin@myway.com>
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:00:46 +0400
Subject: SWIFT REPLY NEEDED
DEAR FRIEND,
Before you proceed reading my mail pls do go through this web page more
details http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html .
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don't know
me in person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am Andren M. ndovo, a
citizen of Zimbabwe, the son of late MR. MARTIN ndovo(A Farmer ) who was
murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE.
I got your contact through the England Information Exchange Online, and
then I decided to write you. My late father was among the few black
Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling
government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy
for Zimbabwean opposition party.
Before the death of my father, he deposited the sum of Ten Million US
Dollars ($10) with a security company during when he went to Europe to
purchase his farm machinery equipment, as if he foresaw the looming danger
in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as a gem / precious stone to avoid
seize and much demurrage from the security organization.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals
for the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President R. MUGABE introduced a new land Act,
which wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently
condemned the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampant killing and mob actions. I and my family who are
currently staying in France as a refugee asylum seeker, have decided to
transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it. You will
read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting. This web
site:
http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money as an asylum
because the financial law and Regulations of France do not permit us
financial rights to such huge sum of money. In view of this, I cannot invest
the fund myself. Moreover, Franch monetary policy/law does not allow such
investment by an asylum seeker or refugee.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature
of your business does not necessarily matter. So if you are willing to
assist us, I and my family have agreed to give you 20% of the total money,
40% will be for a joint business venture I will be doing with you and
another 40% will be for the family, which we shall also invest in your
country. Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed
assistance, endeavour to contact me through the above email address. I also
need your private telephone and fax numbers for quick communication.
Remember that this transaction is highly confidential. Expect your reply
soonest.
Best regards.
MR.Andren M. ndovo.
For the family
