Cote D'Ivoire.
Dearest one,
With due respect, trust and humanity, I write to you this proposal which I
believe would be of great interest to you. I am Mrs Awa Keita, the wife of
late EL-MUSTAPHA KEITA of blessed memory. Before my husband was
killed by forces loyal to MAJOR JOHNNY PAUL KOROMA, he was the
Director-General of Gold and Diamond Mining Corporation (GDMC) of Sierra-
Leone.
My husband targeted by the rebel forces in the course of the revolution.
Two days before his death, he managed to sneak a written message to us,
explaining his condition and concerning one trunk box of valuables
containing money and gold, which he deposited with a private Security &
Finance Company in Abidjan Cote d'Iviore.
He instructed me to take our two children(Ibrahim and Zinat) and move out
of Sierra-Leone immediately to Abidjan Cote d'Iviore before the Peace
Keeping Forces of the Economic Community of West African States
(ECOMOG) monitoring team intervened to arrest the situation of mass
killings by the rebels, which was the order of the day.
Eventually it resulted into full war. I became a widow overnight; helpless
situation without partner. At that moment of calamity, every person was
running for his/her life. In the content of the deed he signed with the
Security Company, he used the name of his son Master Ibrahim Keita as the
next of kin. The real content of the box were not disclosed to the Security
Company due to security reasons. Now as a refugee, we have very limited
financial rights here, we intend to leave this country immediately with the
whole money for investment in your country because of the stable situation
and mostly for the future benefits of my children.
We have since applied for political asylum. The cash involved inside in the
box is US$ 10.5 Million ( Ten million and five hundred thousand united state
dollars). I want you to assist us to claim the box from the Security
Company as the new beneficiary so that the change ownership of the
documents covering this consignment/box will be legally effected to your
name as to enable you have this money deposited in a local account here in
Abidjan in your name for the easier transfer of this money in to your
oversaes bank account.
We also source for good investment so that we can invest the money
wisely. We have in mind to establish a rewarding investment and good
relationship with you. Concerning the money, we are prepared to offer you
a reasonable percentage of 20% of the total sum proceeds. Meanwhile 5%
has been mapped out for any expenses you may incurred in the course of
this transaction and 75% will be for my family.
For the interest of this business, do not hesitate to contact us with the
above email addresss immediately you receive this message for more
information to enable us proceed in earnest towards concluding all our
arrangements.
No other person knows about this money apart from my children and I. We
await your most urgent response.
Thanks for your co-operation and God bless you.
Best regards,
Madam Keita.
