Subject: PLEASE HELP
Mrs. MARIAM KABBA
PHONE NO. +27 781 000 18
Hello,
Please permit me to write you irrespective of the fact that we have not met before. I come in contact with your address through a good friend of my husband who works with South African chamber of commerce when I was scouting for a reliable and trusted partner who I can do business with. He suggested you as honest, trustworthy and an institute businessperson with whom one can do business with. Although I did not disclose the nature of business I intend to do with you to him due to the nature of this business. My name is Mrs. MARIAM KABBA , from ANGOLA as indicated above. I am the wife of the Late Brigadier JONES KABBA, My husband was a Brigadier in charge of Arms a Ammunitions procurement in the Angolan Army.
In his "Will" he specifically drew my attention to US$18.7M. Which he deposited in a safe box in a private security company in South Africa, as a treasure box, fully documented in our first son’s name (Mr. ABLE KABBA)
IN FACT MY HUSBAND SAID AND I QUOTE:
My beloved son, I wish to draw your attention to US$18.7M (Eighteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars).I deposited the box containing this fund in a private security company in South Africa. During the war I was very dedicated and committed to winning the war against the rebels 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 Eduardo to purchase Arms from South Africa, I have this as a golden opportunity because there is no other person aware of this arms deal except I and the President, I decided and diverted the fund for my personal use.
In case of my absence on earth as a result of death only, you should solicit for assistance to transfer 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 us in this respect. We are now living in South Africa as political Asylum Seekers and the Financial Laws and regulations of the Republic of South Africa do not permit us financial rights to such a huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in South Africa hence I solicit for your assistant to help us transfer this fund to your overseas account for any investment which you will advice us. I am prepared to offer you 12.5% of the total fund for your help in this transaction.
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be conveyed to you once we have established trust and confidence between our selves. Please I will appreciate it much if you can treat this matter with every cuations it needs.
Best Regards,
Mrs. MARIAM KABBA
PLEASE CAN YOU CONTACT MY SON ON +277 816 000 18 or his EMAIL ADDRESS. pmoganrsa@yahoo.co.ukfuther instructions.
