FROM BENSON AND LINDA MUZAZA
C/o ROCK OF AGES EVANGELICAL MINISTRY
ABIDJAN, REPUBLIC OF COTE-D'IVOIRE
WEST AFRICA.
My name is Benson Muzaza and Linda are the children of Late General Anderson
Muzaza the former Director of military inteligence and special acting General
Manager of the Sieria Leone Diamond mining coperation(
SLDMC ). I am contacting you to seek your good assistance to transfer and
invest USD 13 million belonging to my late father which is deposited in
a bank in Abidjan. This money is revenues from solid minirals and dimonds
sale which were under my fathers possession before the civil war broke out.
Following the break out of the war, almost all government offices,coperations
and parastatals were attacked and vandalized. The SLDMC was loothed and
burnt down to ashes, and diamonds worth millions of dollars was stolen by
the rebel military forces who attacked my fathers office.
Many top government officials and senior army officers were assasinated
and my father was a key target because of his very sensitive military possition
and appointment in the SLDMC. Regreatably, my father was captured and murdered
along with half brother in cool blood during a mid-night rebel shoot-out
when our official residence in freetown was armbushed by Fordey Sanko the
notorious rebel leader.
My mother sustainded very sever bullet injuries which resulted to her untimely
and painful death in a private hospital here in Ivory Coast.
Now we are alone in a totally strange country without parents, relatives
or any body to care for us at our tender ages.
Before our mother died, she told us that our father deposited some money
which he made from diamond sales and contracts at this bank here in Ivory
Coast and that we should pray and find a trustworthy foreign business partner
who would help us to transfer and invest this money in profitable business
venture overseas.
She told us to do this quickly so that we can leave Ivory Coast with our
cousin brother-Arthur who is here in the camp with us and, then settle down
abroad. She gave us the the bank document to prove the deposit and then
told us that my father used my name as the only son to deposit the money
in the bank.She told us that this is the reason why we came to Ivory Coast.
My mother died afterwards. May her spirit rest in perfect peace I have gone
to the bank to make inquires about this money and I spoke with the Manager
of International remittance who assured me that everything is intact and
promised to help me transfer this money to my foreign partners bank account
as soon as we are ready and I provide my partners foreign bank account for
them.
But the manager is very concerned because of my age. I am 20 years and as
such advised that I should look for a matured person that will represent
me at the bank.
If you are willing to assist us, please let us know immediately so that
you will arrange the transfer of the money to your account with the bank.
Please note that I can only offer you 25% of the total money as compensation
for your noble assistance in accodiance with my mothers advise. I am interested
in any profitable commercial venture which you consider very good in your
country and you would also get a school for me, my little sister and cousin
so that we can finish our college education. Please there is urgent need
for the money to be transferred to your account because of the political
crises they are having in Cote d'Ivoire now. I am hoping to hear your urgent
response so that I can not look for another foreign partner.
Thank you and may God bless you and your dear family.
Yours sincerely.
Benson and Linda Muzaza
