Dear Friend,
This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail.
I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains so i decided to contact you through this medium .As you read this, I don't
want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die
someday.
My name is Sani Hamza, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been
diagnosed with prostate and esophageal Cancer that was discovered very
late due to my laxity in caring for my health. It has defiled all form
of medicine and right now, I have only about a few months to live
according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so
well,
as I never really cared for anyone not even myself but my business.
Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to
people and only focus on my business as that was the only thing I cared
for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to
life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I
believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that I know
my
time is near, I have willed and given most of my properties and assets
to my immediate and extended family members and as well as a few close
friends and Schools in the UAE. I have decided to give alms to charity
organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on
earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations
in the U.A.E, London and Ireland. Now that my health has deteriorated
so
badly, I cannot do this my self any more. I once asked members of my
family to close one of my accounts and donate the money, which I!
have there to charity organization in Bulgaria; they refused and kept
the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they
seem not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my
money which is the huge cash deposit that I have with Financial Firm
Abroad .I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched
it to charity organizations and let them know that it is I Sani Hamza
that is making this generous donation.
I am writing this from my laptop computer in my hospital bed where I
wait for my time to come. I pray that God uses you to support and
assist
me with good heart

God be with you(Masallam).
Sani Hamza

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until
the task is accomplished as I don’t want anything that will jeopardize
my last wish. and Also I
will be contacting with you by email as I don’t want anybody to know
because they are always around me.

What did I just say?

Here we go again. They write "foreign investment project", which sounds good. They then go on to say they want to embezzle their company out of money and need your assistance to do it.

On the one side they say; "We are honerable and trustworthy partners" and then "let's do an illegal deal with each other".

Despite the long winded story, they still only want your money! My advice? Don't touch it.

CHIEF. MARK EYADEMA
FINANCE/PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION DIRECTOR
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES
FALOMO OFFICE COMPLEX
LOME,REPUBLIC OF TOGO
I am writing you on the strength of our search for a foreign investment opportunity, partnership or individual, who can be trusted to oversee a foreign investment project.

I got your contact information from a former director of Togolaise Import and Export Trade Promotion Council (TIETPC) who assured me your capability and good reputation in investment project. Although, I did not disclose to him the face value of the transaction which I want to discuss with you.

We are the officials of the TOGOLAISE LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS (TLNG), an affiliate of Togolaise National Petroleum Cooperation (TNPC). After due deliberation with my colleagues in the ministry, I was therefore mandated as a matter of trust to contact you as a partner to whom we could transfer a reasonable amount for foreign investment project, hence the need for a foreign partner.

I have decided to seek for a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of this transaction described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and I hope you will maintain absolute secrecy because we are government officials.

Within my ministry where I work as a Director of Finance/Project Implementation, and with the co-operation of other top officials, we have in our possession an overdue payment bill which we want to transfer with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company or an individual to receive the said fund on our behalf, or a reliable foreign non-company account that will accommodate such fund. The amount $27.3M USD represents some percentage of the contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials purposely over inflated for our own use.

Although the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in an escrow account which we have in principle received an approval to remit to a foreign bank account that you will provide. Since the Togolaise Government is determined to pay every Foreign Contractor all debts owe so as to maintain good relationship with foreign and non Government Financial Agencies, we then decided to include our bill for approval with the cooperation of some officials from the appropriate federal payment agency.

We are seeking your assistance in providing a good company's account or any other bank account into which we can remit this money by acting as our main partner and trustee or acting as the original contractor. This we can do by swapping of account and changing of beneficiary and other forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the payment and approvals to be secured on your behalf.

This process being an internal arrangement with the department concern. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist in the transaction, we will share the money as thus: 20% of the total fund for you the account owner, 75% for us (the officials) and 5% to settle any expenses in the course of this transaction.

Please be informed that my colleagues and myself will be depending on your kind advise and directives as we wish to privately invest our share of the fund into a foreign products both in Togo and your country as you may advise in due course. So you will be expected to provide us with a background information concerning yourself and your company to enable us make an evaluation and conclude on which line of business to take.

Note that it is important to maintain absolute confidentiality of this business because my colleagues and I are top Government Officials who have put in many years of meritorious service to our ministries and would not want to experience any kind of exposure that will jeopardize our image. I wish to assure you that this transaction is expected to take 14 working days for the fund to get into your nominated bank account.
send your reply to my private mail(markeyadema@netscape.net)for security reason.

Thanks as I patiently anticipate receiving your urgent response.

Faithfully yours,

CHIEF MARK EYADEMA

Anyone who believes this .....

Personally said, anyone doing business in Africa, either has a private army working for him or he must be crazy.

It's a paradox. On the one hand, a whole load of celebreties spend time and effort to raise cash and help for Africa and on the other you cannot trust any African, who calls himself a businessman.

Let me expand that a little. I am sure there are honerable people in Africa. The problem is, that anyone who goes to Africa on business or to work, usually gets taken for a ride at some time during their stay there. I have enough stories, even from friends, who say a white man, in their eyes, is rich. So they will pump you for a small ammount of money, and if you give it to them, their demands increase a thousand fold.

On top of this, it is hard to coroborate an African businessman or company as being trustworthy. This leaves only one course open. Don't do business with Africans. That's hard I know, but it's better than losing your money.

Your Monday Lunchtime Lottery E-Mail

A lot of these guys are trying to push this scam by using registered domain names. Usually there is no website to go with the domain name, such as this one.

There is, however, an e-mail server coupled to this domain. As such, it is not easily recognised as a fraud e-mail by people who's Internet knowledge is on a user level.

On the other hand, by using a domain name, the criminals open themselves to being recognised as a real person. If you want to know more about that, send me an e-mail.

Last be not least: This one uses the German SKL Lottery as a front


This is the first e-mail using the "Süddeutsche Klassenlotterie" as a front.

Anyone not familiar with this lottery company, would not know that this lottery does not work as this e-mail would suggest. This company does not have an international Lottery. So there are no offices in Great Britain or elsewhere.

The SKL also does not use an external company to make any payments to prize winners.

Sure these guys, don't know all this. That's why they are counting on a lot of people who also don't know how the German Lottery works.

Just look at the e-mail addresses


This is a typical inheritance mail. Apart from that, it is interesting to note where they have set up their e-mail addresses.

They obviously spend a lot of time looking for suitable freemail companies the world over. That's why the addresses don't often match up with the story they send.

In this case a brazilian e-mail address as sender for a nigerian lawyer, doesn't add up. The return address at corporateattorneys.com does fit this time.

BARRISTER Michael Oputa
PLOT 25 Works Layout,

LAGOS NIGERIA

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Friend,

I am Barrister Michael Oputa, an advocate and Solicitor. I am the
Personal Attorney to Mr. Fredrick Athar ,a foreigner who used to work with
European Development Company in Nigeria.On The 21st of April 2001,my
client,his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident
along Sagbama Express Road.All occupants of the vehicleun fortunately
lost their lives.Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy
to see if i can locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has
all the while proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful
attempts,I decided to trace his relatives (i.e surname) over the
Internet, to locate any memberof his family but of no avail,hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by
my client before it is confiscated or declared unserviceable by the
bank where this huge deposit were lodged.Particularly, the Bank where
the deceased had an account valued at about 22.3 million dollars has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased or have
the account confiscated within the next ten official working days.Since
i have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since you are still a foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $22.3 million USD can be paid to you and then you and me can
share the money,60% to me and 35% to you, while 5%should be for expenses or
tax as your government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us
see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me by my email:barristermikeoputa@corporateattorneys.com
Best regards,
Barrister Michael Oputa

I hardly stopped posting one before the next one comes in!

Believe me there are days, where these e-mails come in every couple of minutes or so. This is one of those days!

This one poses a couple of questions:

1.) I have never heard of an Omani with a Anglo-Saxon name, have you?
2.) If he wanted to donate his money to charity, he would just have to apoint a lawyer as trustee.
3.) This story reminds me of Scrooge in a Christmas Carol. Could it be that one of these people read the book?

Dear friend,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is Peter edwards I a merchant of Omani nationality but presently residing in Britain. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer . It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and
right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.

I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never
generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second chance to come
to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property
and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last
good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the Oman, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.

The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars 18,000,000 that I have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatche it to charity organizations.
I have set aside 20% for you and for your time. God be with you.please reply me via this email below peter_ed22@excite.com

Permit me to inform you of my desire to go into business with you. I got
your name and contact on the Internet during my search for a sincere partner. I prayed and to choose your name among others due to its nature of estimation and on recommendations given to me as someone honorable and worthy of confidence whom I can do business with. And, by the recommendation, I must not hesitate to confide myself to you for this simple and sincere business.

I am (Joseph Koroma), the only son of the late Makalala. Koroma that my
father was a very rich Businessman dealing on Gold Farmer equipments in Zimbabwe and also the exporter of gold to Europe and America, the economic capital of Zimbabwe, my father died in hospital of heart attack. My mother
also died when I was just a baby and since then it was my father who was
taking care of me until his death.

Before the death of my father, in January 2002, in private hospital, he
secretly called me to his bedside and told me that he had the sum of Eleven million, five hundred thousand United States American dollars (S$11,500,000) being in a two trunk boxes and he deposited it in a security company in Europe. That he used my name as that of his only son.

Then because of this political crisis that started here, it's why I seek a
foreign associate, I am presently in the Europe where I am seeking political asylum for the security of my life,

Dear friend, I honorably seek your aid in the following manner:

(1) To serve as the guardian of these funds since I am only 24

(2) To make arrangements for me to come to your country to continue my
education and for me to obtain residence papers in your country.

Besides this, sir, I am disposed to offer you 20% of the entire sum as
compensation for your effort to have helped me after the transfer succeeded of these funds in your account, and I will give you 5% for the other expenses.

Moreover, you indicate your options for helping me and I believe that this
transaction could be concluded as soon as you accept to help me. I urgently await your sure response.

E-mail:JosephKoroma@netscape.net
Thanks may God bless you.

Sincerely yours,

Joseph Koroma.

Dear Friend,

As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I
believe everyone will die someday. My name is Mr.Usman Faruque merchants in Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself) but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never Generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this, as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.

I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has
called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well asa few close friends.

I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.If you are interested in helping me kindly reach me on my private email address
usman2000@walla.com

God Bless You

Considering the fabulous fortune that he put together and the rapid fall he has experienced, there is plenty of room for speculation.

Cancer, Charity and God

This is one of those e-mails where they try and pack every kind of emotional button into the message.

It's clear they are targeting people who are religious in thought and deed.

There have been enough cases of christian (as well as Muslim) communities who have fallen for this type of message.

For me it is an expression of bad character. But then, who said these people have a character at all?

I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to the you for the good work of God,rather than allow my relatives to use my husband's hard earned funds ungodly.I have asked God to forgive me all my sins and i believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation,and i pray that i survive the operation.

I have decided to WILL/donate the sum of $1,500,000(One million five
hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and to
help the motherless,less privileged and also for the assistance of the
widows.

At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls, due to the fact that
my relatives are around me and i have been restricted by my doctor from taking telephone calls because i deserve all thee rest i can get.Presently,I have informed my lawyer about my decision in WILLING this fund to you.

I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Kindly Contact my lawyer through this email address

Two E-Mails, one name

A reader sent me the following e-mails today. One from Mr. Brown and the other Mr. Koffi.

They both refer to the deceased Mr. Andreas Schranner, who died in a plane crash. They both claim to have sums of money which belonged to Mr. Schranner. But that is about all they agree upon.

Dear Sir,

The inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence, I am making this proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a resourceperson to help me realize this project. I Anthony Brown, esq. a solicitor and investment consultant based in COTONOU, ,BENIN REPUBLIC

I was attending a business luncheon in Berlin, Germany and I got introduced to the renowned German businessman and property mogul, Mr.Andreas Schranner (of the blessed memory).He engaged my services as attorney and investment consultant and my primary assignment was to spearhead his investment forays in BENIN REPUBLIC, Three months later I invited him to COTONOU and under my professional guidance and based on my advice he made a fixed deposit of $15.7m at a financial institution .This deposit was for 2years and upon maturity I made effort to contact my client, I could not reach him or any member of his family. I was forced to travel to Germany and there I got the tragic news that on July 25 2000, my client Mr. Andreas schranner, his wife Maria, their daughter Eich and husband Christian and their two children perished in the air France Concorde new York bound flight; Please Click on the below site and find out what happened to the family

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

I have made efforts to locate any member of his family since then with strong biological links to my late client without success. The search to find a close relation is one that has consumed time and resources. The institution is asking me to either present a next of kin to late Mr. Andreas Schranner or forfeit the deposit.

My proposal is to package, present you as next of kin to late Mr. Andreas Schranner and process the fixed deposit and transfer custody to you for our mutual benefit. My capacity as solicitor/investment consultant to my late client gives me the discretion to package and transfer the deposit to you. I will give you 40% for your effort, 60% for me it will amount to injustice if I do not take this decisive step to secure this deposit, and invest it. The late schranner was also a friend in addition to our business relationship. I will wait for your reaction and response and then together we can jumpstart this project and nurture it to reality.

You can send your reply to this email address only: barristerbrown01@zwallet.com

I await your respond

Anthony Brown.


from Mr. Koffi, 19-07-05

Dearest: Friend,

My Name is Mr.Andre Koffi a credit officer with the one of the leading Bank (Finance Trust House) here in Cotonou Republic Du Benin. In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of (USD 32 m) in an account that belongs to one of our foreigncustomer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.

stm Since i got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Five years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Indigen cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foriegn account , 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business,another 5% to help the less previlage and to assist the charity organisations here in Africa and abroad while the rest 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated .

Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application .

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Andre Koffi

Prince is his name

This is a typical example of using the name of a known personality, such as "Antonio Dembo" to give the story a background based on fact. 2002 the death of General Dembo was widely reported on the Internet, so it is easy to research it and confirm the story. Here's a couple of examples:

Dear.

I am prince Dembo,Son of late General Antonio Dembo the former Vice president of UNITA rebels in Angola.My father was the Chairman of Angolan Petroleum Monitoring Committee (APMC) 1992 to 2002. Sadly, he died after an injury sustained during the ambush on The UNITA rebel on 27th February 2002 where the President of UNITA,Dr. Jonas Savimbi was killed. As you might have known,
Petroleum is the major revenue source in Angola (Southern Africa). My father made a lot of money through the job but could not invest the money immediately to avoid probe by the military government. He was able to save the sum of$45m(fourty five Million United States Dollars). He deposited this sum with a security firm in Johannesburg in South Africa.The documents used in these depositions,together with the key of the safe,are with my mother.In my father's will, he instructed that this money must be invested overseas with the help of a foreigner who is reliable and trustworthy. So as to avoid probe by the federal government of Angola, since he was a general in the warm torn Angola, and could not have amassed such wealth legally. My mother and I have agreed to give 25% of the total sum to you while 70% will be for us then, the remaining 3% will be used to offset the billsincurred in the Course of the transfer while 2% will be for charity.The most important thing is to assist us to relocate to your country to live.However you are advised to reply me immediately and when I receive all your favorable reply you will be given all necessary details and documents and also send me your phone and fax number for easy
communications.

Another Lottery Scam Contender

This one is good. They say up front that you have to pay 928,10 Euros for "processing and legal documentation charges"!

That way the get around having to explain that a fee is required.

This means they are getting much better at this. They are reducing their effort and making this whole scam much easier to follow through.

You could say, "they are maximising their profit margins!".

Yibokoko has an over-inflated contract

Here we go again. The story is old but the message is new.

Yibokoko, like other fraud artists, is using a new phrase "over-inflated". This means that too much money was set aside for the contract and there is a sum of money which is left over after the payment was settled.

Now I have said this before, but I have to say it agian.

"There is no legal company who would not have a financial controlling
system in place, to prevent too much money from being left over after
a contract payment!"

If the contracter sends a final invoice for less than the contract ammount, the rest does not remain in limbo until an enterprising employee can arrange to transfer the money out of the country for himself.

Petrochemical companies, especially, are know for their financial controlling. So a transfer of this kind .... JUST DOES NOT HAPPEN!

To: yibokoko@albawaba.com

Dear Sir,

I am an Administrative Staff of Eleme Refining & Petrochemical Co. Ltd and I represent a group that is interested in engaging your service as Investment Manager and humanitarian purposes of a large volume of fund.

The intended business is thus; there was an over-inflated contract that was executed for the Department for Petroleum Resources (DPR) worth $32 million which has been lying fallow since the original contractor has been paid leaving the over-inflated amount which was done by this group I am representing. They are in charge of the accounts and finance section including the auditing department and have perfected all documents to back up the payment as to avoid any trace whatsoever which makes the transaction 100% risk free.

The issue of the kind of service I request from you would be that I need your assistance in receiving the amount of $32m and thereafter you invest it for a period of 2 years.

Secondly, you would be entitled to 25% of the total fund in question as the fund manager while 5% will be set aside for any sundry expenses incurred by both parties in the course of this transaction.

Meanwhile, I believe that you would be able to handle this project. Trustworthiness and confidentially should be our watch word so as to
protect their highly exalted positions without denting their image and
person in this regard. I really need your assurance and I want you to
give me your maximum co-operation as far as this project is concerned.

I have a wife with seven children, four girls, three boys and I want to ensure that their future is secured financially with this project; therefore, you can understand my position towards this issue. It will be appreciated if you could tell me more about yourself.

Also, a working agreement paper would be drafted to this effect and signed by both parties before the processing of the payment via the relevant authorities and subsequent effecting of the payment into the account coordinate that you would provide for this purpose.

If this proposal is acceptable to you, please get back to me, so that we can work out the procedure for the execution of this transaction.

Please reach me strictly via my e-mail: yibokoko@albawaba.com together
with your direct telephone number for easy communication.

Yours Sincerely,

Yibokoko Fiberesima

Hello,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday.
My name is ABUBAKAR JAIDI. I a merchant of Omani nationality and i have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .
It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not even myself)but my business. Though I am very rich, I was never
generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way.
Please kindly reply this mail so i can explain to you better

Fresh in, just a few seconds ago ...

Reading the countless Zimbabwe e-mails there is one point which is not
immediately apparant when reading them.

Quote "This land dispute started when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land reform, which was particularly targeted at the rich white farmers and a few black farmers (my father included)."

Is it not strange that you only receive e-mails from the black next of kin and not the white? That leads to all sorts of speculation, doesn't it?

Subject: IMPORTANT. (13-Jul-2005 13:13)
From: davnkoli@zwallet.com
To: xxx@xxx.xxx

Dear friend,
I wish to begin by way of introduction. I am David Nkoli, the first and only surviving son of late Samson Nkoli one of the foremost and rich black farmers in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country.
Before the death of my father, he had given me the certificate of deposite he used to deposit the sum of US$30.5 million (Thirty Million Five Hundred United State Dollars) in one of the private fudiciary companies in the United Kingdom,as family valuables, when he realized the looming dangers in Zimbabwe.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machineries and chemicals for the farms and also for the establishment of new farms in land.
This land dispute started when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land reform,
which was particularly targeted at the rich white farmers and a few black farmers (my father included).
This resulted in the gruesome killing of rich farmers (mainly whites) and the unlawful possession of their properties by Mugabe's war veterans, under the disguise of fighting for the interest of the country. It is against this background that I fled the country with my family, to where we are currently seeking asylum.
I have decided to seek foreign assistance, as the law here prohibits asylum seekers from operating bank accounts or involve in financial transaction of any kind, hence this letter to you. All I need is your trustworthiness to be able to entrust the above said amount and help me with investment opportunities. My family's survival depends on this money as we have virtually lost all our assets.
There are two options, firstly, you can choose to accept 15% of the total amount for your assistance or go into partnership for the proper investment of the money in your country.
We shall discuss in detail the modalities involved when I hear from you.
I await your reply through the above media, while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required to ensure a safe and hitch free transaction.
I shall furnish you with more details on request.
Yours truly,
David Nkoli.
