Subject: Very urgent from Mrs. Sylvia Philips.
Dearly Beloved,
It's my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I intend to establish in your country. Though I have not met with you before but I believe one has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life.
My name is Mrs. Sylvia Philips Mgbue, from Zimbabwe. My son and I escaped from our country at the heat of the political crisis in my country after losing my husband and daughter in the political war; as a result of the political instability going on in my country right now.
My Late husband Dr. Chynwa Philips Mgbue, was a great politician in Zimbabwe political arena. Because of my father's sincerity, He was killed on the 04th of April 2008 by unknown soldiers in our residential house. See news for more information about my late husband's death.
(http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/20/ap/africa/main4029612.shtml )
when this accident occurred at about "11:15 am on the 04th April 2008, my father did not died on the spot rather he was rushed to Harare Hospital by unknown soldiers and he managed to me through his assistance, and only managed to sneak a written message to me, explaining his condition
concerning a diplomatic box contenting the sum of US$21,320,000.00.(Twenty One Million, Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand United State Dollars) in a security company collecting centre in London.
He instructed us to leave Harare immediately for our safety, we relocated to Abidjan the capital city of Cote d'Ivoire for our safety and in respect of my consignment box in London, which I and my son wants you to assist us, by standing as our trustee, to help us receive this consignment on our
behalf. The box (Consignment) contains $21.320. Million U.S. Dollars that was deposited by my late husband for us,
However, I want you to know that Mr. Johnson Ascot who was suppose to receive this consignment in London, began to demand for 50% of the total sum after the death of my late husband, which I and my son did not agree on for any reason, that was why we have to stop the delivery to him immediately,
and search for another Beneficiary who can help us on this.
Let be honest with you, I have contacted some persons in respect of this transaction before now, to assist me in this very matter. But due to the fraudulent activities going on in the world through the internet today and otherwise, all the people I contacted felt I am not for real. That is why
I am writing you this mail with due sense of humanity and responsibility, and with the awareness that you will give it a sympathetic and mutual consideration.
I will give you 20% for the total fund involve for your assistance, because that was the former agreement my late husband have with our foreign partner Mr. Johnson Ascot before he later change his mind because of his greed that is why I and my son put a stop to the delivery to him, please if you
are willing to help me us, kindly reply us so that we can proceed immediately because of the time limits.
Thanks and kind regards.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Sylvia Philips Mgbue.
