324 RUE MEWAY,

COTE D'IVOIRE.
REPLY TO :danchile2@yahoo.co.in
Dear Sir,

I know you will be surprised to read from me,but please
consider this letter as a request from a family in dare
need of assistance.

I got your address in my deliberate search for an
assistance from a foreign partner who will sincerely and
judiciousely manage the funds and confidence i am due to
entrust on you.

First, I must introduce myself, I am Mrs. Danla Chile from
Cote D'ivoire. I am the wife of late Brigadier Badou Chile,
My husband was a Brigadier incharge of arms ammunitions
procurement in the Cote D'ivoire army. In his "Will",he
specifically drew my attention to US$40,000,000.00 (fourty
Million united states dollars which he deposited in a safe
vault of a private Security Company in Europe, as a treasure
boxes, fully documented in our first son's name(master.
Kenneth Chile).

IN FACT MY HUSBAND SAID AND I QUOTE: "My beloved son, I
wish to draw your attention to US$40 million(fourty Million
United States Dollars). I deposited the boxes containing
the fund in a private Security Company in Europe.
Before the coupd'etat that took place in
our country,I was very dedicated and committed to be
promoted to the post of personal assistance to the
president until when I found out that senior army officers
and top government functionaries were busy helping
themselves with government funds and properties and sending
them to foreign countries".Due to this when I was assigned
by the President(President Henry Konan BEDIE) to purchase
arms from South Africa, I saw this as a golden opportunity
and diverted the
fund for my personal personal use.

In case of my absence by act of God or result of death
only, you should solicit for the delivery of the funds to
you and ensure they are invested in an economy where there
is political, social and economic stability abroad.

Dear sir, from the above, you will understand that the
lives and future of my family depends on this fund and it
will be my utmot desire to fulfil the desire and aspiration
of my lovely husband, as such I will be grateful if you can
assist my son who is in Red Cross senior refugee camp here
with me in lome Togo Republic for now as an asylum seeker.
due to unstable economic and political situation in our Country
and africa at large i can not invest this funds in Africa,
hence my contact to you, am prepared to offer you 20% of
the total fund as compensation to enable you facilitate the
movement of this fund to your country, investment and
judious management of the funds for and unbehalf of my
family and my son, while 80% will be for my son and family
consequent upon delivery of the consignment i and my son
will come over to your country where we shall start up a
new life with security and safety.

Finally, modalities on how the transfer will be done will
be conveyed to you once we have established trust and
confidence between our selves, then i will recommend you to
the security companmy in Europe as to enable you visit them
for the delivery of the consignment/funds to you. Please
treat this matter as very urgent.

I await your urgent response.
Cheers and God bless you.
Sincerely

MRS DANLA CHILE
