Subject: Looking Forward To Hearing From You
Attention: Sir/Madam,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal, which I believe would be of great interest to you. I got your contact via email search while on a research for a reliable person for partnership investment overseas. Believing you could be sincere and trustworthy with transparent intentions and capable of handling this transaction to the best of your knowledge in assisting me in Claiming the sum of (USD $6.9 MILLION) in the custody of a security company in United Kingdom.
I am contacting you with the greatest delight and personal respect. I am Mrs. Suria Ahmad, the daughter of late Chief Ahmad Suleyman who was murdered two months ago after the election by the forces loyal to President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe due to his support to the opposition MDC party and working against the presidents land use Act that has led to the lost of several lives of foreign (white) farmers. For a clearer picture of my story please log on http://www.newzimbabwe.com/ OR http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/1780206.stm
During the current crisis against the opposition MDC (Movement for Democratic Change) due to their firm stand for the current election ballot to be counted, some farmers who have been a great supporters of the MDC were raided, killed and some maimed by supporters loyal to president Robert Mugabe, all in the vein to silence them and also to claim all their lands. He had ordered all the foreign (white) farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their Zanu PF followers. My father was one of the highly influential and mechanized farmers in the country who have never supported his land use act and policies and had to resign from his party for this reasons. Before his resignation from the Zanu PF, He was a distributor of the government's fertilizers. Knowing that he did not support the president's political ideology any more, the president's supporters invaded his farm, burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investmen!
ts.
Before the death , he deposited the sum of ($6.9 Million) United States Dollars with a Security & Finance Company, as he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as gem of precious stones to avoid much questioning and risk from the Security Company and considering also that the president of South Africa-Thabo Mbeki is secretly behind our dictator president. This money was actually meant for the purchase of new farm machineries and chemicals to improve our farming and supplies.
For your assistance in this regard; it will interest you to know that we will be willing to offer 20% of the total sums as a reward for helping us actualize this transfer. It is equally important to state here that considering the nature of this matter, we will require that it be handled most discreetly (Confidential). I must let you know that this business is 100% risk-free. Kindly contact me on this receipt of this letter for execution details and other necessary discussion.
I remain yours sincerely,
Suria Ahmad
