Dear 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 reponse in you , for me to
have contacted you even though we've not met before.
My name is bakari Udigwe, the only daugther of late Mr.Hassan udigwe who was the chairman /
President/Ceo,Cacao-Café & Agro-Alimentaire industriePlc.(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 city of Bouake to over-throw the
Government of Mr. Laurent Gbagbo the President 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 (my
father) 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$ 6.5
million dollars(six million five hundred thousand us
dollars only)in a Finance house in the Capital city of
Senegal (Dakar) and also told her where he kept the
whole documents concerning this deposit that is madefor investment purpose 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
Senegal, where we are now. I am now contacting you
believing you are honest and trustworthy to help us to
receive the money in your account for investment, I
and my mother has decided in compensating you 15%ofthe total amount for your assistance .
Please do take your time to go through the mail and
get back so that I will simply introduce you to the
Finance house where the fund are being kept now for
onward transfer.
I am waiting for your response.
Thanks and God bless.
.bakari Udigwe
