Hello dear
My name is Stella Sigcau, the elder daughter of Mr. Zac sigcau of
Zimbabwe. I know this might be a surprise to you about where I got your
contact address.
I hereby wish to inform you about this, I got your esteem contact and
particulars out of desperate search for a business minded personality in
your country,
who will honestly assist my younger brother and I to realize our inherited
funds into his/her account and as well as invest it into a lucrative
business.
During the recent war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters
of our President, Robert Mugabe to claim all the white -owned farms to his
party members and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers to
surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father being one of the few rich and successful black farmers in our
country was also victimized because of his opposition to Mugabe's policies.
And because he did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded
my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and
made away with a lot of items in my father's farm.
This action was taken because my late father felt the growing tension on
the farm issue, but I guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought
their brutal and sudden death.
However with the benefit of hindsight, owing to the looming but
deteriorating crisis in my country, Zimbabwe,
my father, before his unfortunate death he deposited with one of the
Security Company in Accra Ghana the sum of US$ 14 Million (Fourteen Million
United States Dollars).
After the death of my father, my brother and I escaped to the Republic of
Ghana where he had deposited the money in the Security Company as a family
valuable property.
And we were permitted to reside here as Political Refugees. So Because of
our present and unpleasant status here we decided to contact an overseas
firm / individual that can assist us to move this money out Of Ghana
because, as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any financial
transaction of such amount within Ghana.
We have agreed to offer you 40% of the total sum for your assistance, and
the rest will be for my brother and I, to Invest in your country.
All we want you to do is to furnish us with your entire details including
your readiness to assist us achieve this transaction for investment purposes
in your country under your supervision.
Please further details on how to achieve this transaction. Also, send your
direct phone and fax numbers for further/easier communication.
I have to re-assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and should
be treated with absolute confidentiality.
All the vital documentation/certification that has to do with the origin of
the fund is with me for the security reasons.
And I will send them to you when we progress. And I guarantee you that this
fund is not government fund, drug money, or from arms deals.
I will detail you more immediately I receive your acceptance response.
i hope this is the beginning of a prosperous relationship between us.
Thanks and God bless you
Yours faithfully
Stella Sigcau.
