Dear Friend,
I am Madam Adele Mbonjo, the former manager/personal
Assistant of the Central African Republic's former President Ange Felix
Patassé. I'm presently in house arrest here in Bangui the state capital,
after the military coup d'etat. I found your address in the commercial
directory we have in our Chamber of Commerce.
First of all, I'm very sorry for the way I get in touch with you for such a
matter. But because of poor and un-reliable communication technology and the
confidentiality of this business, this are the reasons prompted me to do so.
I would like to have a partnership with you, in order to invest a sum of
thirty five million USD($35,000,000 USD) in profitable sectors in your
country, as long as you are interested in my offer.
I got this money from cash donations by foreign contractors I've granted
many contracts in my tenure in government. As a close aide to the former
President, I couldn't use our banking system to transfer such an amount
without a trace.
This could cause me a serious problem. Even presently, the new President has
decided to freeze all the abroad banking accounts of all those who were
close to Mr. Patassé. We are placed under security close watch while my
travelling papers are seized.
During my tenure in government, I used the government decoy system to carry
out this money abroad where it was kept secretly pending now. I will inform
you as
soon as we progress for future claims due to the instability in politics
here presently. The security holding company are not aware of the contents
hence I coded it as Personal Effects. In the other hand, my son was taken
to a west african country for the purpose
of this transaction, therefore I shall introduce you to him for easier
communication as he has been placed by me to oversee to the smooth end of
this transaction between you and us.
Right now, I'm now without any source of Income. The Situation above has
lead me to ask for your co-operation for the claiming out of the security
holding company for further safe-keeping of these funds, for solid and
reliable projects of investment. I respectfully suggest a gift of 20% of
this sum for your help and your efforts. I mean USD $7,000,000 Million. I
rely on you as a respectful and honest person to take care of this
transaction with sincerity, confidence and confidentiality.
I've decided to look for a confidential co-operation with you in this
business, despite the fact that we've never met. I hope you will keep this
as a great confidential business because of the nature of this transaction.
I will make sure you take possession of
the funds, by providing a process without difficulties. My son's
communication with you will enable you under stand fully what it takes for
you to retrive this deposit hence the country is safe and free for now.
I would like to hear from you on receipt of this mail, by showing me your
good will and possibilities, so that I can give you more details. This
matter requires a particular attention and an absolute confidentiality from
you. I will be expecting your response to this mail, whatever the decision
you come up with, let me knowimmediately to enable me give your details to
my son for quick communication.Send your reply to my confidential
box:adelembonjo@libero.it
Yours Sincerely,
Madam.Adele Mbonjo
