Subject: Awaitin your honest reply
Hello dear,
With due respect,trust and humility, I decided to consult you towards this
transaction due to the need for a foreigner, or foreign beneficiary, and
with the faith I have in God, I believe that you will be trustworthy,
reliable and capable to assist me in transferring this fund into any safe
trust account of your choice anywhere in the world for investment purposes.
Mweanwhile, I am Joseph Nkuma, the only son of Late Mr.Nkuma Muzenda, who
was the "Chairman" of the farmer's co-operation in Zimbabwe. I got your
contact through a friend of my family adviser who works with the Ghana
Chamber of Commerce Department of World Trade and Industries, during my
search for reliable and competent foreigner to handle this confidential
financial transaction.
My Father was among the few blacks that were murdered in cold blood by the
President Robert Mugabe Administration during the land dispute that just
happened in Zimbabwe. After the death of my Father, my life becomes so much
in danger that I had to leave to Ghana.
Before the death of my father, he took me to Ghana to deposit the sum of
Twenty-Five Million United States Dollars (USD$ 25,000,000.00) cash , with a
private security and finance company in Ghana, as if he knew that danger was
looming in Zimbabwe. 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. He deposited the money in a metal boxes as valuable
belongings to our foreign partner for security reasons.
Presently, I am in Ghana as a Refugee (Asylum Seeker). Now because of the
initial name tag on the consignment as at the time of the deposit and also
the law of Ghana does not permit me ( Asylum seeker ) to operate or open any
bank account here in Ghana or be involved in any financial transaction with
the bank, that is why I am contacting you to come in as the foreign partner.
My family adviser and I, have agreed to compensate you with 30% of the total
fund While 5% will be out for any expenses that might be inccurred during
the process of this transaction, then the remaining 65% will be for my
investment there in your country as per your advice and instruction.
If you are interested in helping me out, kindly contact me through this
email: jnmuzenda@live.com, indicating your interest to help me, also I would
like you to furnish me with your personal details including your direct and
private telephone, fax and mobile numbers for easier communications.
Finally, be informed that this transaction is highly confidential and needs
utmost trust because the life and future of my family and I, depends on
these money.
Looking forward to receiving your urgent reply.
God bless you!
Yours Faithfully,
Joseph Nkuma Muzenda.
