Subject: Private.From Mrs Dider Ashril And Son.

FROM: MRS DIDER ASHRIL COULIBALY
324 RUE MEWAY, TRES VILLE
COTE D'IVOIRE.

Dear Friend,

I know you will be surprised to read from me,but
please consider this letter as a request from a family
in dare need of assistance.Firstly, I must introduce
myself, I am Mrs. DIDER ASHRIL COULIBALY from Cote D'ivoire.

I am the wife of late Brigadier KOFOUR COULIBALY My husband
was a Brigadier incharge of arms ammunitions
procurement in the Cote D'ivoire army. In his
"Will",he specifically drew my attention to US$20
Million which he deposited in a safe box of a private
Security Company in Lome-Togo Africa, as a treasure
box, fully documented in our first son's name (Mr.KENNETH
BODE COULIBALY). IN FACT MY HUSBAND SAID AND I QUOTE:
"My beloved son, I wish to draw your attention to
US$20million(Twenty- Million United States Dollars). I
deposited the box containing the fund in a private
Security Company in Lome-Togo.

Before the coup d'etat that took place in our
country,I was very dedicated and committed to be
promoted to the post of personal assistance to the
president against until when I found out that senior
army officers and top government functionaries were
busy helping themselves with government funds and
properties and sending them to foreign countries".Due
to this when I was assigned by the President
(President Henry Konan BEDIE) to purchase arms from
South Africa, I saw this as a golden opportunity and
diverted the fund for my personal use.

In case of my absence on each as a result of death
only, you should solicit for the transfer of the fund
out of this shore for investment purposes.From the
above, you will understand that the lives and
future of my family depends on this fund, as such I
will be grateful if you can assist my son who is in
Lome Togo for now as an asylum seeker,and the
financial laws and regulations of the Republic of Togo
do not permit an asylum seeker to operate in a bank or
invest.

In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in Lome
Togo, hence I have contacted you ,am prepared to offer
you 20% of the total fund,and 80% will be for my
family. Finally, modalities on how the transfer
will be done will be conveyed to you once we have
established trust and confidence between ourselves.
You can contact my son with this number:00228 910 57
73 for security reasons .

Please treat this matter as very urgent.
I await for your urgent response.Cheers and God bless
you.

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs Dider Ashril Coulibaly,
