Subject: URGENT AID
Dear ,
With due respect and humility I write you this letter which I believe you
would be of great assistance to me and my son. I am Mrs Angeline Yacouba, the
wife of the late Dr Robert Yacouba of the blessed memory. Prior to my husband
assassination by the rebel forces loyal to Major Paul Johny Koroham of the
Revolutionary United Front (RUF), he was the Director General National Gold
and Diamond Mining Corporation of Sierra-Leone.
Few days before my husband was assassinated, he instructed me and my son (Denis)
to move out of Sierra-Leone and also to go in his underground strong room
where the documents of money he has deposited in a security company in Abidjan
Côte d'Ivoire in one trunk Box as family valuables and treasures with the
name of my son as the beneficiary. The amount is US$35.500 (thirty-five million
five hundred thousand United States Dollars). We managed to escape to Abidjan
the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire through the help of my husband's friend who
is a traveler. As our travelling document was seized.
But due to the political problem here in Cote d'Ivoire on September year
2002, I instructed the security company to transfer the box that contained
the money to Europe Where they have branch office. Now the money is in Europe
for safe-keeping. I am now looking for a worthy and God fearing person who
will handle this money for rapid profit for the future of my son.
For your information , the security company did not know the real content
of the box and we do not wish them to know until the money is transferred
to your account. As it was deposited as family valuables and treasures.
Meanwhile, I want to leave Côte d'Ivoire entirely for investment of this
money in your country and mostly for the future of my son. I want you to
please assist us to claim the box from the security company and also deposit
the money in a local account there in your name and order the bank to transfer
the money to your account in your country. As our foreign partner.
We have it in mind to reward you with a certain percentage for your assistance. As
soon as we hear from you. Do not hesitate to reply immediately you recieve
this letter to enable us proceed in ernest toward retrieving the box and
transferring of the money into your account.
Finally, Please ensure that no one else knows about this money as it is
only myself, my son and yourself .
MAY God bless you as you assist us.
yours sincerely,
Angeline Yacouba R.
