ATTN:
With utmost regards I crave your understanding of this
proposal, I am RICHARD KABIA the beloved son of late
Chief VINCENT I KABIA the former Financial Controller
of Cote d'Ivoire Telecommunication(CITELCOM) who was
injured by the heat of the political crisis here in my
country Abidjan and after some days, before he died in
the hospital, he revealed to me the whole process he
has gone on finished payment of Contract workers and
he handed over to me being his son all documents where
he deposited US$15million Us dollars in the bank as
the
beneficiary contractor of the said company (CITELCOM).
I got a very recommendation of you and wish to
propose this business to you in a strict confidence.
I am seeking your assistance for the Telegraphic
Transfer of Fifteen million United States
Dollars(US$15,000,000.00) to your account for further
private investment purposes because my late father
instructed me before he died not to use the money to
invest in this country Cote d'Ivoire that I should
invest abroad for my benefit and to avoid suspect from
the government due to his role in the country.
This amount to be transferred was accrued from an
over-invoiced" contract award for the construction of
an underground telephone network to replace the former
in the new capital city(Yamoussoukro) and other major
cities also for installation of the microwave station
awarded to my late father Chief VINCENT KABIA in 1998 to
expatriate companies.
The contract which was originally valued for one
hundred and ten million united states dollars
(US$110,000,000.00) was manipulated to read Ninety-Five
million united states dollars (US$95,000,000.00).
The extra Fifteen million US$ was deposited in a
fixed deposit account by my late father which has
expired last two months, this is what I want to
transferred to your account as the "beneficiary
contractor due for payment". This contract has been
completely executed and the contractor has been paid
all their bills completely.
On your interest to assist me in this transaction what
I require from you, your real name and your private
phone and fax numbers for easy and strict
communication, Your bank particulars for submission to
my fathers banker where this money is to be remitted
to your account. You shall arrange for me to meet with
you once this fund is been transferred in your own
account and confirmed by you.
On the successful conclusion of this transaction I
will offer you 25% of the total amount, I have also
mapped out 5% for any miscellaneous expenses that
might occur in the process of this transfer, the rest
will be released to me when I get to your country.
I have worked out all modalities concerning the
transfer of this fund, so in this transaction you are
required to treat it with the strictest confidence.
Thanks in Anticipation of your acknowledgement of this
proposal.Please believe in GOD as we abaind
to be one in this transaction lets trusth in him and
him alone do I hold on.
Waiting for your urgent response/call.
Help me with a Godly spirit for the trust in this
transaction is from the heart.
