Greeting,
Dearest Friend,
I am contacting you believing you are a honest and trustworthy person.I
believe you will not betray the confidence I am willing to repose in you,
for me to have contacted you even though we've not met before.
My name is Yvette the only daughter of late madonne who was the Chairman
/President/CEO,Cacao-Cafe & Agro-Alimentary industries Plc.SCAFECAO)"Bouake"
and ex-owner of Polyclinic LA-MADONNE, of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire.
You can find the story on this
website:<<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm>>
On 19th of September 2002,a group of so called rebels took over the city of
Bouake to over-throw the Government of Mr.Laurent Gbagbo the President of
Cote d'Ivoire. On the 20th day morning at about 4:18am some fractions of the
same group of rebels break into our house and killed our security guard and
pass-through the gate entrance to the main building and took my father away
to an un-known destination.
After about four hours later we found him (my father) at the road side, by
then he had been totally beaten and was bleeding to death lying in the pool
of his own blood. From there, we rushed him to a near by hospital and hours
later he sent for my mother. So he told her that he can not make it from the
doctors diagnosis, he also told her that it was because he (my father) was
not from the northern part of the country that he has been treated this way
and also being a political activist. And again he said he is suspecting some
of his business partners for conspiracy and this sort of brutality. He also
told my mother that he deposited a huge amount of money i.e US$15 Million
Dollars(Fifteen million UNITED STATES Dollars Only)in a Finance house in
the off shore and also told her where he kept the whole documents concerning
this deposit that is made for investment purpose in the western world.
That same day, he (my father) gave up the ghost. Then with the help of the
French soldiers, we escaped to Senegal, where we are now. I am now
contacting you believing you are honest and trustworthy to help us to
receive the money in your account for investment, I and my mother has
decided in compensate you 20%of the total amount for your assistance .
Please do take your time to go through the mail and get back to us, so that
I will simply introduce you to the Finance house where the fund are being
kept now for onward transfer.
I am waiting for your response.
Thanks and God bless.
Yvette Madonne
