Abidjan, Côte d?Ivoire

It is my pleasure to write you after much consideration
since I can not be able to see you face to face at
first. Being the first son of my father, late MR.
James Kabbah from ZULU in Republic of South Africa
(S.A) I am 28 years of age and my younger sister Lizy
Kabbah who is 22 years old.
I know this proposal letter may come to you as a
surprise considereing the fact that you have not had
any formal acquaintance before . But all the same I
would want you for the sake of God to give this an
immediate attention in view of the fact that the
security of our living and possession is at stake.
My father was a limited liability Cocoa Merchant in
South Africa before his untimely death after his
business trip to Abidjan he was assassinated with my
mother by unknown assassins. Which my mother died
instantly, but my father died after five days in the
hospital on that faithful afternoon , I didn?t know
that my father was going to leave me after I had lost
my mother.
Before he gave up his ghost, it was if he knew he was
going to died. He my father ( may his soul rest in
perfect peace ) he disclosed to me that he made a
deposit a sum of US$10.3 M (TEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS)
in A security company here in Abidjan Côte d?Ivoire.
That the money was meant from cocoa business he wanted
to invest in Abidjan , Côte d?Ivoire.
According to my late father he deposited the money
with A security compay in Abidjan,as family treasure
and he handed me all the documents pertaining to the
transaction and instructed me to seek for a life time
investment abroad. Now I have succeeded in locating
the security compay in Abidjan, Côte d?Ivoire and also
confirmed the deposit funds with most honesty and
confidentiality.
Sir we wish you to help us in the following way;
a)To provide us with a good account to transfer the
money .
b)To help invest the money into a lucrative business.
c)To assist my sister Lizy get a college admission to
further her education and finally
d)To assist us in getting residential permits for
formal and comfortable stay in your country after the
money must have been transferred into the account you
will provide.
e)I will offer you 25% of the total fund .
Now I am solicting for your assistance to help me lift
this money out from Abidjan to your account abroad so
then we should invest it in any lucrative business in
your country.
Because this is my only hope in life.
Please kindly contact me through the above telephone
or e-mail address immediately for more discussion.
Because this is confidential matter.
Thanks for your kind attention and mutual
understanding.
Best regards,
James Kabbah Jr.
