Subject: PLs can you help our family?
Good Day Sir,
I am contacting you believing you are a honest and trustworthy person.
I believe you will not betray the confidence I am willing to repose in
you for me to have contacted you even though we've not met before.
My name is Ahucha C. Sallah , the only son of late Mr. Hassan Goudal Sallah
who was the chairman /President/Ceo,Cacao-Caf=E9 & Agro-Alimentai re
industrie Plc.(SCAFECAO)"Bouake" and ex-owner of Polyclinic LA-MADONNE,
of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire.
You can find the story on this website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm
On 19th of September 2002,a group of so called rebels took over the cityofBouake
to over-throw the Government of Mr. Laurent Gbagbo the P resident of Cote
d'Ivoire. On the next day morning
at about 4:18am some fractions of the same group of rebels break into our
house and killed our security
guard and pass-through the gate entrance to the main building and took my
father away to an un-known destination.
After about four hours later we found him (my father) at the road side,by
then he had been totally beaten and was bleeding to death lying in the
pool of his own blood.From there, we rushed him to a near by hospital and
hours later he sent for my mother. So he told her that he can not make it
from the doctors
diagnosis,he also told her that it was because he(myfather) was not from
the northern part of the
country that he has been treated this way and also being a political activist.
And again he said
he is suspecting some of his business partners for conspiracy and this sort
of brutality.
He also told my mother that he deposited a huge amount of money about
US$10.5million dollars(Ten million five hundred thousand us dollars only)in
a Finance house in
the Capital city of Cotonou (Benin Republique) and also told her where
he kept the whole documents concerning this deposit that is made
forinvestmentpurpose in the western world.
That same day, he (my father) gave up the ghost. Then with the help of
the French soldiers, we escaped to Cotonou Benin, where we are now. I am
now contacting you believing you are honest and trustworthy to help us to
receivethe money in your account for investment,I and my mother has decided
in
compensating you 20%of the total amount for your assistance .
Please do take your time to go through the mail and get back to so that
I will simply introduce to theFi nance house where the fund are being kept
now for onward transfer.I am waiting for your response,through this mail
address sallah_ahucha@myway.com
Thanks and God bless,May you always have Walls for the winds,A roof for
the rain,Tea beside the fire,Laughter to cheer you,Those you love near
you,And all your heart might desire!
Ahucha C. Sallah
