Dear Silwana Arensma
Suddenly you got this mail and may be doubting and wondering how I got your
mail contact. Well, I got your contact from an operator of an internet
services in the Chambers of Commerce here in London, united kingdom where we
seek political asylum, hence I decided to write you, though I did not
mention the detail of the transaction to her.
I am Victoria Amina Guei, the wife of the late PRESIDENT ROBERT GUEI fomer
president of Abidjan, the Republic of Cote d`ivoire who was assasinated
during the last political problem in cote D`Ivoire in the year 2002. To be
direct, I was his first wife with only one son Jacob Keita Guei before we
divorced, but because of my son, when he became the president, he deposited
the amount of (US$ 16,5M) for me and my son with Caja Securities S.A. in
Spain before he died and. As we thought that the political problem here will
stop so that we can invest the fund in our country. But because of the
current crisis again we have decided to invest this fund in your country.
