URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED
You may be surprise to receive this Email from me since you do not know me personally.
However, I would like to introduce myself. I am Mr.Frank Salihu, the son of Dr. SALIHU STEVENS who was murdered few months ago in Zimbabwe as a result of
land dispute.
Before the death of my father (Dr.SALIHU), he had taken me to AMSTERDAM to deposit the
sum of Ten Million United States dollars (US$10.000,000) in a security
company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money in question was
deposited in a box as Gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the security company. The
proposed amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and
establishment of new farms on Swaziland. As you may be aware this land problem came into
force when Zimbabwe president Mr. Robert Mugabe Introduced the Land Reformed Act of
which my father rich farmers and some black farmers where affected. This resulted to the
killing and Mob action by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society,
infact, a lot of people were killed because of this Land Reformed act of which my dad was one
of the victims.
It is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying in Amsterdam
decided to transfer my father=92s money to a foreign account. Since the Dutch law prohibit a
refugee (asylum seeker) to open any account or be involved in any financial transaction. As
the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign
account where the money could be transferred . I am faced with the dilemma of investing this
amount of money in Holland for the fear of going through the same experience in future since
both countries have similar history. Moreover, The Netherlands foreign exchange policy does not
allow such investment from asylum seekers. As a businessman, whom I have =
entrusted my future and my family in his hands, ! I must let you know that this transaction is risk
free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I need you to do for me is to make
arrangement and come to AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, so that we can open the non-resident account which will aid
us in transferring the
money into any account you will nominate overseas. This money I intend using for investment. I have
options to offer you, first you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your
account for the transaction, or you can go into partnership for a proper profitable investment of the
money in your country. Which ever option you choose, feel free to notify me. I have mapped out 5% of
this money for all expenses incurred in processing the transaction. If for some reasons you do not
prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% that is meant
for me, will be for the investment in your country. Please, contact me on the above Email,provide me with
your telephone number so we can discuss further and a chance for you to ask me any question you may
have in mind, while you maintain the absolute secrecy required in the transaction.i will give you my
telephone number if necesary.please kindly get back to me with your detail contacts.
Yours faithfully,
MR.FRANK SALIHU.
