Help

A scam e-mail that is postmodern poetry. I am particularly struck by the deliberate ambiguity between AIDS and aides:

HELP

We are a family that needs help from you; we are from Zimbabwe
the south of
Africa and we are farmers but we are having a very big
problems with the
President Mr. Robert Mugabe because my husband said
that what he is doing to
The white farmers is bad by seizing there
farmlands and there personal
Belonging and also sending his mobs and
aids to destroy there property.

My husband was killed by his aids
and they confisticated all our property
So me and my two children had
to ran to Chad a small country were we did not
Know anybody for safety
were we are now seeking asylum, but the help we need
From you is to
help us claim the sum of nine million dollars
(9,000,000.00 dollars)
that my husband left or deposited in a finance house
Before his
untimely death.

We cannot go and make the claim and if we try the
President have people all
Over that will know and they will seize the
funds, so I Mrs. shima is
Writing to you in person after much
consideration I thought you are the only person that can help me and my
family claim this fund and invest it,

as a big brother nation to
help us and claim this fund you can stand as a foreign partner to my
late husband and send to the finance company an application for claim
or retransfer of the funds to your bank account and you will have 30%
of the total amount and if you like invest our share in your country
but it's very
Important you help us to come over to your great
country.

Note: I will send the original certificate of deposit to
you as soon as I receive your positive response with the bellow
information?s that I am going to use in preparing the change of
beneficiary ship to your name and address. Please I and my children are
