I know we all get inundated with this garbage but it always makes me laugh. Now I know if I am ever traveling to Nigeria, I have a place to stay. If nothing else, I've learned a new word, "demurrage". Cheers, -----Original Message----- From: tapi [mailto:tapi@private] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 3:55 AM To: tapi@private Subject: CRIME A FRIEND IN NEED. From: Tapio Makele. Plot 1103, Lekki Phase II, Victoria Island. Dear friend, A FRIEND IN NEED. Please don't be surprised to receive this letter from me since we do not know each other before now. I am TAPIO MAKELE, the first son of TATE MAKELE , a farmer in ZIMBABWE who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he took me to the Netherlands to deposit the sum of US15.5 million (Fifteen million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars only) in one of the private security companies. This was done when he noticed the looming danger in Zimbabwe on land policies. The money was deposited in a two-box consignment declared to contain GEM STONES to avoid much demurrage from Security Company. The company does not know the actual contents of the two-box consignment as it was not disclosed to them for security reasons. This amount was meant for the purchase of new Agricultural machineries and chemicals for our Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform that wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers alike. This resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, all my family members fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives. We are currently taking refuge in the Nigeria where we sort political asylum. At this point, we decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable foreign account. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine partner that could assist me without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have gotten. As a businessman, I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands. I must let you know that this transaction is free from risk. If you accept to assist us, do please contact our Lawyer in Nigeria with this e-mail address to finalize all the arrangement with the security company for the delivery of the consignment to you. MARTINS SUL ADAMU M. S. ADAMU & Co. 19B, KINGSWAY ROAD, IKOYI, LAGOS, NIGERIA. E-mail: martinsb@private He would conclude all arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment (funds) already in their custody in the Netherlands to you. He would also give you more details on the modalities of sharing of the funds and the subsequent investment to be made in your country with our share. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Yours Faithfully, Tapio Makele. (for the family). ---------------- Powered by telstra.com
