ATTN SIR,
I am interested in the partnership investment program with you or your
corporation. Being the chief executive of my former region, I awarded a
contract of IRRIGATION to a top Portuguese Firm worth several millions of
dollars. In the execution of that project the Portuguese firm discovered
large amount of gold in one of the contract site. I collaborated with the
Portuguese Firm on a mutual agreement on the proceed of which my share has
been deposited in a big reliable security company in europe.
On the 10th of February 2004 the contractor and I took a flight from Kish to
sharjah and flew Kish airline. We had a plane crash and the contractor lost
his live. I give thanks to Allah that I am one of the lucky ones that
survived the crash.
The airline was under the management of one Mr. Shabab Attarzadeh who was
later sacked after this incidence. I had to return to Western Sahara
As the Administrator, I cannot introduce or circulate this fund into the
Sahara banking system considering my provisional duty and considering the
fact that I earn less than what I have in that account. The above situation
prompted my decision to contact you to take delivery of this fund into your
custody for my proposed investment, as you will be adequately compensated. I
will arrange all necessary procedures in ensuring a smooth process for the
funds to get to you. I will appreciate you contact me once you receive this
mail via my e-mail account indicating your capability and willingness to
enable me to give you more details of my modus operandi of getting this
money to you hitch free. This matter requires your urgent attention and
confidentiality whatever your decision.
Best Regards,
Bukari Karaba
