WEST AFRICA.
I KNOW MY MAIL WILL BE A SURPRISE TO YOU BUT YOU
SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS TOTALLY CONVINCED TO
WRITE TO YOU IN REFERENCE OF THE TRANSFERING OF
$14.5 MILLION US DOLLARS INTO YOUR ACCOUNT FOR ONWARD
INVESTMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY.AND I MUST CONFESS THAT MY
AGITATIONS ARE REAL AND MY WORD IS MY BOND IN THIS
PROPOSAL.
I AM ZEBLON KABBY THE ONLY SON OF CHIEF LAWRENCE KABYY FROM THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA . MY FATHER WAS AN INTERNATIONAL TIMBER AND GOLD MERCHANT BEFORE HIS UNTIMELY DEATH.AS THE CASE MAY BE MY MOTHER LOST HER LIFE DURING THE BIRTH OF THE SECOND CHILD.
AFTER ALL THIS TRAGIDY MY FATHER NEVER MARRIED A SECOND WIFE BECAUSE OF THE LOVE HE HAS FOR MY LATE MOTHER HENCE I WAS THE ONLY CHILD OF MY FAMILY.
AS HIS ONLY SON MY FATHER CONFIDES A LOT IN ME BECAUSE HE KNOW
THAT A DAY WILL COME WHEN I HAVE TO MANAGE HIS VAST
WEALTH BUT THE RELATIONSHIP PAINFULLY DID NOT LAST.
TWO MONTHS AGO MY FATHER HAS TO TAKE HIS BROTHER TO
THE COURT BECAUSE OF A PROPERTY THAT HE INHERITED FROM
HIS LATE FATHER BEING THE FIRST SON AS ALWAYS THE CASE
IN THIS PART OF AFRICA., AT THE END OF THE DAY THE
CASE WAS IN FAVOUR OF MY FATHER. THIS IS A STORY THAT
SEEMS LIKE A FICTION TO ME BUT TODAY AM FACING THE
REALITY OF BEING AN ORPHAN WHO IS ALSO BEING HUNTED BY
MEN OF WICKED PRINCIPLE, HENCE TRAGIDY DOES NOT ALTER
FACT BUT FACT REMAINS WHEN OTHER HOPES HAS BEEN
SHATTERED. THREE WEEK AFTER THIS CASE MY FATHER WAS
ATTACKED IN JOHANNESBURG THE CAPITAL CITY OF SOUTH
AFRICA BY UNKNOWN ASSASIN WHO SHOT THREE BULLETS IN
HIS BODY ,BUT HE DIED TWO DAYS LATTER IN A PRIVATE
HOSPITAL.
BUT BEFORE HIS LAST BREATH HE DISCLOSED TO ME ABOUT A
BOX HE DEPOSITED IN A SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN ABIDJAN
THAT THE BOX CONTAINED THE SUM OF $14.5 MILLION U.S.
DOLLARS, ($14.500.000..00) BUT IN THE SECURITY
COMPANY HE DECLARED THE BOX AS CONTAINING AFRICAN ARTS
WORK FOR EXPORT TO HIS FORIGN BUSINESS PARTNER ABROAD
FOR SECURITY REASONS.
THAT THE MONEY WAS FOR THE PURCHASE OF SOME OCEAN LINNERS BECAUSE HE WANT TO START A SHIPPING COMPANY BUSINESS.
HE INSTRUCTED ME TO PICK UP THE DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE AND THE KEY OF THE BOX AND RUN FOR THE SAKE OF MY LIFE AND THAT I SHOULD LOOK
FOR A TRUST WORTHY AND HONEST PERSON WHO WILL HELP ME
TO LIFT THIS MONEY TO A SAFE ACCOUNT ABROAD AFTER ITS
CLEARANCE FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY AND SEARCH FOR A
LUCRATIVE BUSINESS TO INVEST THE MONEY.
PRESENTLY I AM HERE IN ABIDJAN WERE THIS BOX OF MONEY
IS DEPOSITED AND I HAVE FOUND THE SECURITY COMPANY AND
CONFIRMED THE DEPOSIT CERTIFICATE FROM THERE OWN
RECORD.BUT DUE TO THE CRISES IN ABIDJAN THEY NOW TOLD
ME THAT THEY HAVE TRANSFERED THE SAID CONSIGNMENT TO
THEIR BRANCH IN (EUROPE) FOR SECURITY PURPOSES.
I DONT HAVE ANYBODY TO RUN TO ,I CAN NOT GO TO THE
PRESS,I CAN GO TO THE POLICE BUT I NEED THIS MONEY TO
BE SAFE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.
I AM PLEADING WITH YOU IN THE NAME OF GOD FOR YOU TO
HELP GET THIS MONEY OUT FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY BY
STANDING AS MY LATE FATHER'S BUSINESS PARTNER AND
ARRANGE FOR THE TRANSFER , I HAVE NOT HANDLED SUCH
FUND BEFORE, AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WILL BE FOR OUR
OWN GOOD HENCE MY GREATEST HAPPINESS WILL BE TO BELONG
TO A FAMILY ONCE AGAIN.
I HAVE AGREED TO OFFER YOU 15% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT AND 5% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT WILL BE MAP OUT FOR YOUR TRIP TO EUROPE FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE FUND.
I AM WRITING TO YOU IN CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL NEVER
LET ME DOWN PLEASE DO SOMETHING BECAUSE I AM CONFUSED.
I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR MAIL AS SOON AS YOU GET
THIS LETTER. MAY THE PEACE OF GOD AND THE FELLOWSHIP
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ALWAYS BE WITH YOU AMEN.
YOURS SINCERELY,
MR ZEBLON KABBY.
