Hello dear,
My name is Stella Sigcau, the only daughter of Mr. Zac sigcau of Zimbabwe.
I know this might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact. I
got your address from names directory during when i was seeking for a
reliable person, who will honestly assist me and my younger brother, Michael
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, killing 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 his brutal and sudden
death.
However, owing to the deteriorating crisis in my country, Zimbabwe, my
father, before his unfortunate death had deposited with one of the Security
Company in Accra Ghana in West Africa the sum of US$11 Million (Eleven
Million United States Dollars).
After the death of my father, i and my younger brother, Michael 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. Because of our present and unpleasant status here in
the camp, we decided to contact you so as to assist us in moving this money
out Of Ghana because, as an asylum seekers, we are not allowed to operate
any financial transaction of such amount within Ghana.
We have agreed to offer you a negotiable amount for your assistance and the
rest will be for me and my younger brother, Michael to Invest in your
country. All we want you to do is to stand as our next of kin/our father's
foreign business partner so that this fund will be released to you for
investment in your country under your supervision.
Please, reply for further details on how to achieve this transaction.
Also, send your direct phone numbers for further and easier communications.
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 security reasons. And I will send them to you when we progress.
I guarantee you that this money is not government money, drug money, or from
arms deals.
I will detail you more immediately I receive your acceptance response. You
can reach me through my email address.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
Stella Sigcau.
