- My Dear Friend,You may be surprised to receive this letter from mesince you do not know me personally. I am Mrs doreen, the wife of Mrs.doreen who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got yourcontact on South African trade journal, and decided to write you. Before the death of my husband, he had taken me to Johannesburg during the world summit meeting held in South Africa in (2006) to deposit the sum of US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars), in one of the private security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company; this amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers This resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my husband was one of the victims, It is against this background that, I and my only child David who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my husband money to a foreign country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees from opening any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zones of South Africa, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred into without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything All I seek for is an honest person, whom I can entrust my future and that of my family; I must also let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. This money I intend to use for investment and growth in your country. I have two options for you firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might incur in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will remain for me and my familyIf you are really capable and willing to assist me please contact me immediately with my email address below For security reasons, i will appreciate if you can reply on the email address below doreenkobello@gmail.com Thanks for your mutual co-operation I expect your soonest response Best Regards Mrs.doreen
