HELLO,
I WISH TO BEGIN BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION,
I AM JAMES UGOMA, THE FIRST SON OF THE LATE EGOH UGOMA, ONE OF THE FORMOST BLACK FARMERS IN ZIMBABWE RECENTLY MURDERED IN THE LAND DISPUTE IN MY COUNTRY.
BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, HE HAD TAKEN ME TO JOHANNESBURG IN SOUTH AFRICA, TO DEPOSIT THE SUM OF US$ 14.5MILLION (FOURTEEN POINT FIVE UNITED STATES DOLLARS) IN ONE  OF THE PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANIES, AS FAMILY VALUABLES, WHEN HE REALISED THE LOOMING DANGER IN ZIMBABWE.
THIS AMOUNT WAS MEANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF NEW MACHINERIES AND CHEMICALS FOR THE FARMS AND ALSO FOE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FARMS IN SWAZILAND.
THIS LAND DISPUTE STARTED WHEN PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE INTRODUCED A NEW  LAND REFORM WHICH HAS PARTICULARLY TARGETED AT THE RICH, WHITE FARMERS AND A FEW BLACK FARMERS WITH MY FATHER INCLUDED.
THIS RESULTED IN THE GRUESOME KILLING OF RICH FARMERS (MAINLY WHITES AND FEW BLACKS) AND THE UNLAWFULL POSSESION OF THEIR PROPERTIES BY MUGABE'S WAR VETERANS,UNDER THE DISGUISE OF FIGHTING FOR THE INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY.
IT IS AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND I FLED THE COUNTRY WITH MY FAMILY, TO THE EAST OF GERMANY WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING POLITICAL ASYLUM (REFUGEE).
I HAVE DECIDED TO SEEK FOREIGN ASSISTANCE, AS THE GERMAN LAWS PROHITBITS ASYLUM SEEKERS FROM OPARATING BANK ACCOUNTS OR INVOLVE IN FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF ANY KIND.HENCE THIS LETTER TO YOU.
ALL I NEED IS A TRUST WORTHY PERSON IN WHOSE CUSTODY I SHALL ENTRUST THE ABOVE SAID AMOUNT AND HELP ME WITH INVESTMENT OPPORTUNTIES.
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS, FIRSTLY, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE OR GO INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH ME FOR PROPER INVESTMENT OF THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY.
WE SHALL DISCUSS IN DETAILS WHEN YOU REPLY. I AWAIT YOUR REPLY, 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.I WISH YOU THE BEST IN LIFE (GENERALLY) AS I AWAIT FOR YOUR POSITIVE RESPONSE.YOU CAN REACH ME ON MY E-MAIL ADDRESS:[email-masked]
YOURS TRULY,
JAMES UGOMA.
