FROM JAMES KUBA AND SISTER
Abidjan Côte D'Ivoire
Dearest,One
Please I am Mr JAMES KUBA, the only son of late
chief JOHN KUBA, from Sierra Leone. I got your
contact ftrom he Ecowas Information Center in Côte d'Ivoire.
My sources of your contact gave me the courage and
confidence to rely on you. I am writing you in
absolute confidence primarily to seek your
assistanceto transfer our late fathers money which is Ten million United States Dollars($10,000,000.00)
now in the custody of a BANK here in Abidjan to your
private account pending our arrival to your country.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY
My late father, chief JOHN KUBA, a native of mende
district in the Northern province of Sierra Leone,
was the general Manager of Sierra Leone mining
co-operation (S.L.M.C.) Freetown. According to my
father. This money was the income accrued from
Before the peak of the civil war between the rebels
forces of major Paul Koroma and the combined forces
of ECOMOG peace keeping operation that almost
destroyed my country, following the forceful removal
from power of the Civilian Elected President Ahmed
Tejan Kabbah by the rebels. My father had already
made arrangement for his family, my mother, my
sister and myself to be evacuated to Abidjan, Cote
d'Ivoire with our personal effects. My father
deposited the fund for the safe custody until after
the war when he will join us. During the war in my
country, and following the indiscriminate looting of
public and Government properties by the rebel
forces, the sierra Leone mining co-operation was one
of the targets looted and destroyed.
My father including other top Government
functionaries were attacked and killed by the rebels
in November 1999 because of his relationship with
the civilian Government of Ahmed Tejan Kabbah. As a
result of my father death, and with the news of my
uncles involvement in air crash in January 2001,
dashed our hope of survival. The untimely deaths
caused my mothers heart failure and other related
complications of which she later died in the
hospital After we must have spent a lot of money on
her.
Now my sister and myself are alone in this strange
country suffering without any care or help. Without
any relation, we are now in the refugee camp waiting
on the Lord as we are orphans. Our only hope now is
in the fund our father deposited in the BANK. To
this effect, I humbly solicit your assistance in the
followings ways. To assist me claim this fund from
the BANK as co-beneficiary. To transfer this money
in your name to your country. To make a good
arrangement for a joint business investment on our
behalf in your country with you as the caretaker. To
secure a college for my sister and my self in your
country to further our education. And to make
arrangement for our travel to your country after you
have transferred this fund. Most importantly. The
whole documents issued after deposit is in my
custody. For your assistance, I beg to concede 10 %of this money to you for your assistance and on receipt to this mail,We will like to have your Tel/Fax number including your Bank
particulars which we will forward to the Bank as our
Beneficiary so that you can contact them for the
transfer.
Yours sincerely
JAMES KUBA AND SISTER
