Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?From=20Mr=20Steve=20Chucha?=
From Mr Steve,
Dear,
This letter may come to you as a suprise based on the fact that I have not
had any previous contact with you.Briefly, I am Mr Steve Chucha, son of
the late Dr. Chucha Vincent, former director of Sierre Leone Gold and Diamond
Corporation who was murdered by assailants believed to be working for his
political enemies.
Shortly before this unfortunate incident, my father had informed me about
an important business deal he had executed with some of his colleagues in
the office. He told me that he had diverted some money totaling fifteen
million US dollars (US$15M) which they had realized from the sale of gold
and diamonds in the black market.
He showed me some lodgement documents with which he
had deposited the money encased in a trunck box with a security /safe deposit
company here in Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire.
He informed me in confidence that seciurity company did not know the exact
contents of the box ; rather, he told them that it contained African artworks
that he had assembled for his overseas partner who would soon be coming
to claim them for exportation.
As a result of this explanation, the box was accepted for safe keeping by
the security company without inspection. When the political situation in
Freetown, Sierre Leone worsened, I escaped into Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire and
had since contacted the security company, identified myself properly and
informed them about the sad fate my father had suffered. I presented the
lodgement documents and they confirmed that
they have the trunk box in their vault.
So I informed them that I intend initiating contacts with my fathers overseas
partner who owns the consignment so that he can come and take delivery of
it. My decision to retrive this box, transfer the money and start a new
life forms the basis of this enquiry from you.
1) Could you assist me with the logistics and a good personal/company bank
account through which I can retrive the consignment out of the security
company and transfer this money out of Cote d Ivoire ?
2) Could you advise me on a good business proposition into which I can invest
this money so that it would yield good dividends ?
3) Could you assist me obtain resident papers in your country so that I
can continue my education there from where I stopped.
If you can assist me on these 3 points above, I shall give you 30% of the
total money while setting aside 5% for all incidental expensesthat may arise
in the course of actualising the transaction (such expenses as phone calls
fax messages air tickets etc.)
Presently, I am staying at La Paix Guest house here
in Abidjan.I need not inform you that this matter is strictly
confidential. I want you to treat it as such.
Yours faithfuly,
Mr. Steve Chucha
