INVITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP
After due deliberation with my family, I decided to contact you for your
assistance in standing as a beneficiary to the sum of US$20.5M (Twenty
Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only) I am MR. MATOBO RUMAMA by
name,
the elder son of MR.JANATHAN RUMAMA
RUMAMA from Zimbabwe.
This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. from
the
London internet directory on my search for a reliable person that will
assist me
with this transaction.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of
my
President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party
members
and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all farms to
his
party members and his followers.
Our wicked President, Robert Mugabe, murdered my father and I fled my
country
because I have become his next target to eliminate. My father was a fighter
for
Justice and a moving force in the MDC, a part wanting to end the several
years
of brutal dictatorship government of President Robert Mugabe.
my father was accused of Treason and also assisting the White farmers in
fighting the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he was reported dead.
The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body was never seen
for
proper autopsy, they buried him in the government cemetery. My father's
associate Mr. Martin Olds a White farmer from Britain assisted me in
fighting my
father's death through the Court and media; the government saw us as a big
treat
to them and decided to eliminate us.
Martin Olds was attacked and murdered in his house, but fortunately, before
they
came looking for me, I received the news and I had to flee to London to save
my
life. My arrival here in London still remains like a miracle to me. Here, is
my
reasons for contacting you I am having a huge Sum of money in the total sum
of
US$20.5M (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only)
presently Deposited with a security company, My father kept this money in
two
trunk boxes in disguise as family treasures and could not bank them, because
of
the situation in my country.
The government seized my father's business, farms and banks account before
his
arrest and murder. He told me everything concerning the funds while he was
still
in detention and I have made several arrangements concerning the shipment of
the
boxes out of the security company because we cannot invest it here.I was on
the
process when I fled the country.
I need your assistance in securing the funds from the security conpany, so
that
I can arrange on how to come over to your country to invest with this fund I
am
willing to offer you 30% of this $20.5Million for your assistance. Please,
let
me know if you can assist me, so that I can give you more details on the
security company. As I wait for your urgent response,
Regards,
MR. MATOBO RUMAMA
