Subject: Attention.
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 repose in
you, for me to have contacted you even though we've not met before.
My name is Didy Sallah , the only son of late Mr. Hassan Goudalé Sallah
who was the chairman / President/Ceo,Cacao-Café & Agro-Alimentaire
industrie Plc.(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$ 10.5 million
dollars(Ten million five hundred thousand us dollars only) in a Finance
house, and also told her where he kept the whole documents concerning
this deposit that is made for 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 20%of the total amount for your assistance.
Please do take your time to go through the mail and get back to me,
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.
Didy Sallah.
