for your humble assistance. Firstly, I must introduce
myself. I am luckson Nkomo. A Citizen of Zimbabwe, but I am contacting
you from Accra Ghana where I am now seeking political asylum. I got
your contact from a business Directory on the Internet.I am the
son of Mr.Sameul Nkomo, a wealthy farmer and senior politician with the
opposition political party in my country, Movement for Democratic
Change (MDC). Our wicked President Robert Mugabe murdered my father
some few years ago, I ran away from my country because I have
become his next target to be eliminated.My father was a fighter for
Justice and a moving force in The MDC, a party wanting to end the
several years of brutal Dictatorship government of President Robert
Mugabe. You will read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts
by visiting this web site: http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html My
father was accused of assisting the White farmers, back then in
fighting the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he was reported
dead. The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body was
never seen for proper autopsy, they buried him in the government
cemetery. My father's associate Mr. Martin Olds a White farmer from
Britain assisted me in fighting my father's death through the Court
and media.The Government saw us as a big treat to them and decided to
eliminate us. Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his House, but
fortunately, before they came looking for me, I received the

and valuables and could not bank them because of the situation in my
Country.The government seized my father's farms and banks account
before his arrest and Murder.He told me everything concerning the funds
while he was still in detention. please, I need your
assistance in transfering the fund to your Country, so that I can
arrange on how to come over to your country for the investment of the
fund, I am willing to offer you 30% of the US$20.5 Million For your

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at 419 BAITER
headquarters.
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary/commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
cheap gold dust/diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.
