[JAMES UGOMA.]

DEAR SIR/MADAM,
WITH WARM HEART I OFFER MY FRIENDSHIP,AND MY GREETINGS,AND I HOPE THIS LETTER MEETS YOU IN GOOD TIME.IT WILL BE SURPRISING TO YOU TO RECEIVE THIS PROPOSAL FROM ME SINCE YOU DO NOT KNOW ME PERSONALLY.
HOWEVER,I AM SINCERELY SEEKING YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION,
WHICH I PROPOSE WITH HIGH MORAL RESPECT.MY NAME IS JAMES UGOMA,THE FIRST SON OF MABOSA UGOMA,OF THE MOST POPULAR BLACK FARMER FROM ZIMBABWE,MURDERED IN THE LAND DISPUTE IN MY COUNTRY.
AS LED BY MY INSTICT,MY MOTHER AND I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU THROUGH E-MAIL, AFTER SEARCHING FOR CONTACTS VIA THE INTERNET, AS IT IS THE ONLY MEANS I CAN CONTACT ANYBODY SINCE I AM CUTTING OFF TIES WITH ZIMBABWE FOR SECURITY AND SAFETY REASONS.
HOWEVER I APOLOGIZE IF THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO YOU.THE PURPOSE OF THIS LETTER IS TO SEEK YOUR MOST NEEDED ASSISTANCE IN A BUSINESS VENTURE.
DUE TO THE LAND AND POLITICAL PROBLEMS IN ZIMBABWE, AS A RESULT OF PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE`S INTRODUCTION OF NEW LAND ACT REFORM WHOLLY AFFECTING THE RICH WHITE FARMERS AND THE FEW RICH BLACK FARMERS, AND HIS DESIRE TO HOLD ON TO POWER FOR LIFE, MY FATHER FOR SAW THE DAMAGE THAT CAME IN ZIMBABWE.BEFORE HE WAS MURDERDED,HE WITHDREW ALL OF OUR BUSINESS FOREIGN ACCOUNTS IN DOLLARS AND SOLD UP OUR SHARES IN MAJOR COMPANIES. WE THEN WENT TO SOUTH AFRICA TO DEPOSIT THE SUM US$14.5 MILLION ( FOURTHEEN POINT FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS), IN A PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY.
THIS MONEY WAS DEPOSITED WITH THIS PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY REASONS,AND WAS TO ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FARMS IN EUROPE.
PRESIDENT MUGABE'S SUPPORT FOR VIOLENT ZIMBABWEAN WAR VETERANS AND SOME LUNATICS IN THE SOCIETY,LET TO THE MURDER OF MY BELOVED FATHER AND OTHER INNOCENT LIVES.I WAS COTINUALLY THREATENED TO ABANDON MY INHERITANCE FROM MY FATHER AFTER HE WAS MURDERED.I RESISTED FOR A WHILE,BUT WHEN THE DANGER BECAME UNBEARABLE,AND I SURVIVED TWO MURDERED ATTEMPTS,I FLEW ZIMBABWE.
  I AM CURRENTLY STAYING IN THE EAST OF GERMANY WHERE I AM SEEKING POLITICAL ASYLUM.INFACT MY DECISION TO COME HERE TO SEEK ASYLUM,IS BECAUSE THE SECURITY COMPANY FROM SOUTH-AFRICA,HAS IT'S HEADQUATER HERE IN EUROPE,AND THEY HAVE MOVED THE DEPOSIT FROM THEIR OFFICE IN JOHANNESBURG DOWN HEREIN EUROPE.I NEED YOU TO ASSIST IN RECEIVING THIS CONSIGNMENT FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY.SINCE THE LAW IN GERMANY PROHIBITS A REFUGEE (ASYLUM SEEKER)TO BE INVOLVED IN SUCH TRANSACTION AND MY MOTHER ADVICED THAT IT WILL BE BETTWER FOR OUR FOREIGN PARTNER TO HELP RECEIVE THIS FUND TO AVOID ANY EYE BROWN BEING RAISED BY ROBERT MUGABE,THIS IS WHY I AM SEEKING A GENUINE AND RELIABLE PARTNER,WHO WILL ASSIST IN RECEIVING THE FUND.AND ALSO INVESTING IT WISELY IN A PROFITABLE VENTURE.
    YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DECISION TAKEN BY ME ENTRUSTS MY FUTURE IN YOUR HAND,AS A RESULT OF THE SAFE KEEPING OF THIS MONEY.IF YOU ACCEPT TO ASSIST ME,ALL I WANT YOU TO DO FOR ME,IS TO ASSIST WITH ARRANGEMENTS TO CLAIM THE DEPOSIT FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY FROM THEIR OFFICE HERE IN EUROPE,THE COMPANY WILL BE LEGALLY INFOMED OF YOU REPRSENTING MY FAMILY.
FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE,I HAVE TWO OPTIONS FOR YOU.FIRSTLY YOU CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE 10% OF THE MONEY FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE,AND HELPING MY FAMILY INVESTING THIS FUNDS,OR YOU CAN GO INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH ME FOR THE PROPER PROFITABLE INVESTMENT OF THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY.
WHICHEVER THE OPTION YOU WANT,PLEASE TO NOTIFY ME IN YOUR REPLY.I HAVE ALSO SET ASIDE 1% OF THIS MONEY FOR ALL KIND OF EXPENSES THAT COME OUR WAY IN THE PROCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION,AND 4% OF THE TOTAL SUM WILL GO FOR CHARITY DONATION.
IF YOU PREFER TO ACCEPT THE 10% FOR ASSISTING IN REPRESENTING MY FAMILY TO RECEIVE THIS FUNDS,THEN 85% WILL BE LEFT FOR MY FAMILY.
