Default Investment opportunity

I'm sure many have received something like this. Suppose they ever get a taker?? Oh, and I'll bet there is one of the stolen ZL1s in the barn

Quote:

I have a new email address!

You can now email me at: (deleted to protect the stupid)
FROM JOSEPH SMITH

HARARE FARMS, ZIMBABWE

EMAILdeleted)

Dear Friend, Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have not met, permit me however to introduce myself; I am Joseph Smith, a white Zimbabwean Farmer, currently in hiding in Zimbabwe. I

used to work in three tobacco farms in Chipinge, and I was also part owner of these farms which were owned by my late father. I am contacting you as the need to for me to have a foreign partner in your ! country has become necessary due to my plans to relocate to that country so that I can purchase some land and start farming all over

again, as the present political instability in Zimbabwe, does not encourage financial investment as the environment is no longer conducive for farming investment and most of all,security is not guaranteed, just as

reported by international media.

This problem started when the Zimbabwean government under the leadership of President Robert Mugabe announced a decree on May 31st 2000 to seize more than 849 white-owned farms. During this period, as reported

by international media and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers(including my father) were killed; the government is not stopping at this, as the government has already asked all white-farmers to give up

their farms to black farmers or risk going to prison. So far, more than 1,400 white owned farms have been

invaded and confiscated, as well as ! claiming the properties of the farmers. Also, about 133 white farmers arrested for defying the orders to leave their farms under the controversial land reform program of the government. Having lived in this country Zimbabwe for years, I have no other country to go to, therefore, I decided to contact you, for your assistance, so that I can divert my interest in Zimbabwe to a more stable country as yours.

Also, I must re-iterate the importance of having a citizen of your country to front for me, since i intend to purchase some land for farming,

I do not know much about your land-ownership laws, I thought it wise to seek the help of a foreigner to act as proxy for me. For this purpose, I have put in a security deposit all monies from the sale of my farming equipment(including tractors etc) and also all financial profits. All these are a total of US$18.5million. I will upon receiving

your consent prepare every document to enable you receive this money on my behalf, pending my arrival to meet with you in your cou! ntry so that we can both make further arrangements with regards to the purchase of land. For your

assistance to me, you will be entitled to a commission of 15% of the total sum that you will be receiving on my behalf for the above purpose. If you are interested and willing to assist me, you should please forward to

me via my confidential email address: [email protected], (TAKE NOTE OF THIS PLEASE!!), the following information so that I can reach you:


1. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS

2. YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER,

3. VALID ID OF YOURSELF,


I am waiting urgently for your response, while also requesting that you treat this matter in strict privacy. Cheers and God bless. I will give you more details when i hear from you. You can click on the link below to get a better understanding my situation and why i need to move out my money:

Dearly Beloved in Christ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,Having known the truth, I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God´s mercy and glory upon my life.I am Mrs Luisa Raymond the wife of Mr George Raymond, my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco in Kenya for twenty years before he died in the year 2001.

We were married for twenty-seven years without a child. My Husband died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians.

Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband wabs alive he deposited the sum of US $10.5M.
(Ten million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a Bank in Europe. Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to sign for the release of this money or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.

Presently, I'm in a hospital in Kenya where I have been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer.
I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks to live.
It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity organizations any where in the World.
Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to help me Stand and collect the Funds from the Bank.

I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.
Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of Attorney who is in Europe as he will be the one to assist you in laying claims for this funds.

Please send all emails to : [email protected]

Yours in Christ,
Luisa Raymond.

Before I proceed, may I humbly introduce myself to your good self, My Name is Mr.Kabir Bello, an Iraqi refugee,my Father was until recently, one of the personal aid to the president of Iraq who was formerly overthrown out of power during the War in My Country which took many life .
Prior to this last serious crisis that is still ravaging in my country, which recently led to misfortune of our government and my late Father's position as the personal aid to the president, we were able to come over here in Thailand with my mother for investment ,we inherited the sum of US$16 Million. The funds were originally gotten from my late Father's proceeds. My late father was able to safe guard the fund with a very good diplomatic contact from my Country to a Financial Firm which make us to come here to plan our life.
But all is about life and death I witnessed another tragedy which could have taken my own life in Thailand here but I feel this is not the time, It started on 26th of December here in Phuket another disaster occurred here named( TSUNAMI) which as well took the life of my mother and up till now her body are yet to to be found, I am the only surviving person in my Family now.
I have decided to contact you because I am interested in investing in your country . Please kindly guide and assist me in making the right investment as every thing regarding technical and logistics details is worked out and ascertained to our respective satisfaction. In view of your participation, I am ready to give you a good negotiable percentage for your assistance, or better still commit it into viable Joint venture projects, be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the funds belong to me as the only surviving son. As soon as I get your consent, I will quickly move this fund to your country for investment .
However, upon your acceptance to work as my partner, you can contact me with my private telephone number or e-mail for more details.
I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success here after, please include you private contact telephone number and private e-mail when replying.
Yours Sincerely.
Mr.Kabir Bello.

I usually reply to their emails with something like...
"I appreciate your offer and after review I believe this to be a fraud so I have forwarded your email to the FBI and the Department of Justice."
I have not recieved one of these stupid emails in the last 6 months...
