Subject: Company Establishment
GAP INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED, WEST AFRICAN LTD.
Manufacturers and distributors of Fine Interior and
Exterior Decorations, Fire Extinguishers
Attention Please,
I came to know about you in my private
search for a reliable person/company capable to handle
a confidential establishment of a sister company
abroad on behalf of my family and myself.
As a matter of fact, I got your information from the
West African Chamber of Commerce and industry,
American Export Promotion Council, Eurasia World Trade
Journal.
I am Dr. Donald Abot, the son to the former Chairman
South Delta Petroleum Development Committee and the
owner/president of GAP Industries Incorporated.
Some Moslem extremist murdered my father immediately
he publicly condemned the 11th September terrorist
attack on World Trade Center in USA. But before he
finally gave up the ghost, he told me that I should
try and invest out side African race. Now my life and
that of my 86yrs old mother are in danger because the
Moslems extremists are still after our lives. They
have burnt our family house and our known properties,
freeze our known accounts. So what I want from you is
to assist us in establishing a sister company in your
Country, receiving the fund for the contract in your
account overseas so that I can come up to your country
and live a normal and happy life. We have gone through
so many traumatic experiences. We are urgently waiting
for your response.
