Subject: ESTATE ACQUISITION

Hello Dear,

I am Dave Igebe, a West African based legal practitioner from Britain,a
spiritual counsellor with MEN OF FAITH INT. and Pro-Director of Rwanda
Rehabilitation Project.

I have a colleague/client who was the former Director of environmental
matters in the defunct Government of assasined President Juvenal
Habyarimana of Rwanda. My client was unjustly removed from office by
succeeding President Bizimungu for being a Tutsi origin; She was detained
and
brutalised for her historical origin. You can visit this
website:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1288230.stm
http://www2.unog.ch/news2/documents/newsen/sg04003e.htm
http://www.un.org/av/photo/unhq/projectrwanda040704.htm for
further details.

My client( Ms Mebezu Osimatoye) is presently in Adis Ababa and wants to
acquire Estates or landed properties in your country. Considering her
very strategic and influential position, She would want the transaction
to be as strictly confidential as possible.She further wants her
identity to remain undisclosed at least for now, untill the completion of
the
transaction to avoid traces by the present Government of President Paul
Kagame that laid embargo on fund transfer to/from Rwanda more
especially when it has to do with Tutsi origins; Hence her desire to have an

overseas agent.

I am therefore making enquiries on her behalf if you would agree to act
as her oversea agent in order to actualize this dream.

The deal,in brief, is that the funds with which she intend to carry out
her proposed investments in your country is invested in the oil rich
Delta region of West Africa; she needs your assistance to transfer the
invested funds to your country in a convenient bank account that will be
provided by you before she can put the funds into use in your country.

Should you be interested to help, feel free to contact me with your
private telephone numbers for discussion of this transaction.

Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Rev. (Barr) Dave Igebe
Pro-Director,
Rwanda Rehabilitation Project
