The strange thing about this tale is that Moyo, says he is from Zimbabwe, yet he is a refugee in Ghana. Normally refugees from Zimbabwe go to South Africa or Botswana.

In my view, this fellow is not a Zimbabwean. He’s is just using the crazy political situation in Zimbabwe to make up a “poor boy” story.

Sir,

My names is Moyo Mudada. I am 19 years old,the only surviving son of my father, Mr Wilfred Mudada,a native of Harere Zimbabwe.You may be wondering why I choose to contact you,I am contacting you in absolute confidence,primarily seeking for your assistance to help me clear my late father two consignment boxes with family valuables amounting to Eleven million US dollars,here in Accra Ghana, which my father deposited with a Security Company.

My father was one of the leaders of a member opposition Movement for Democratic Change of Zimbabwe. During the crises there in my country between my father political party and that of Mugabe,My father was shot,and before they could take him to hospital he died.I have to travel to Ghana to take refugee.

Now i am in the Ghana Refugee Camp,suffering without any material, moral or financial assistance,not even a relation to live with.My only hope of surviver now lies on the two consignment boxes that are with the Security Company.

The Security Company would not allow me recover my father consignment boxes,except that i get a foreign beneficiary,which my father had earlier agreed with
them.That is why,i am looking for a trust worthy partner.

I am soliciting your assistance to help me clear and receive the two consignment boxes from the Security Company. So that you can take 30% of the the total amount for helping me to clear the boxes,and you will help me invest the remaining 70%,and also prepare documents to take me to your country,so that i can achieve my educational dreams. All the legal documents,which the boxes were deposited are right here with me. I was sent on an errand to buy broom for sweeping, and i decide to go into a business centre to mail you.

Sir,i hope to hear from you through my thesame email moyomudada@hotmail.com

Thank you and God bless you.
Moyo Mudada

I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with the inheritance procedures.

That sounds extremely logical. Does that mean you can confirm the birth of the deceased or the beginning of his death?

No matter, most people won’t understand what he means.

On a funnier note: does anybody know what he means by “Have A Green Day”?

Using 10.6 million Pounds Sterling as bait, this fellow first says he is withholding the name of the person who left the money. He then goes on to say I “bear the surname identity”.

That means my family name is the same as the deceased. Now that is an obvious advantage if I were really to inherit some money!

But, he does not actually say my name, does he?

That way this message fits anyone who gets it. That is obviously an advantage for him. That way he will get more people to answer this message.

Take note that he is using a telephone number with the international code for Great Britain.
