WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
My Good Friend,
By brief introduction , we are Foday and Luke Kabba, students in Cote d'ivoire and the children of late Mr. and Mrs. James Kabba. Our late parents was killed by the rebels in our residence town of Bouake the second Economic Capital of Cote d'ivoire during the recent political Crisis /war of 19th september 2002. Our father was a wealthy Cocoa Merchant and president of BCC(bourse de cafe and cacao bouake chapter) before he was killed together with our mother by the rebels.
Our parents death was due to the BCC.CI's financial support to the government to fight rebels who attacked our country on this fate of 19 sept 2002.as what the govt. called here (éffort de paix). Our parents was kidnapped and took away but we only met our father in a terrible condition with the red cross officials to whom he was handed half alive. Talking of our mother, our dad confirmed that she could not bear her bullets for only 15 minutes and she gave up. Our father, was hospitalized for some days before his death in a private hospital in yammoussokro , But before his death,he secretly disclosed to me as his son, his transfer budget of US$7.5 million dollars which he deposited in one of the well known holding company in Europe on behalf of his foreign business partner for foreign investments and directed me where this fund was deposited and concerning the conditions of the deposit he made the beneficiary anonymous.
Our father also disclose to me before he gave the ghost that he wanted to invest his fortune abroad. This is why we are honourably seeking your assistance to help us and stand as the beneficiary and foreign partner of our late father and help us in the claim of this fund and invest the money for us. We will also like you to make arrangement for us to further our Education in your country. We agreed to offer you 30% of the total money as your compensation after the claim is made. Please get back to us through email address. We are in distress here in a transit camp and we need your urgent help as at now, we have no other hope of surviving except when this money is claimed from the holding company in Europe.
