Subject: From Felix Koromah
Dearest,
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 FELIX KOROMAH, the son of late MR.LEONARD KOROMAH, who was the chairman of "Cocoa marchant farmers",based in the city of "Bouake" the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire. On 19th of September 2004,a group of so called rebells took over the city of Bouake to over-throw the Goverment of Mr. Laurent Gbagbo the President of Cote d'Ivoire.
On the next day morning at about 4:18am some fractions of the same group of rebells break into our house and killed our security guard and pass-through the gate entrance to the main bulding and took my father away to an un-known destination. After about four hours later we find him (my father) at the road side, by then he was 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 send for me and my yunger sister, So he told us he can not make it from the doctors diagnosis, he also told us that it is 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 partenrs for that sort of brutality. And he reviewed to me that he had a foreign account up to the tune of $4.3 million US dollars(four million three hundred thousand US dollars only) with one of the prime bank in the capital city 'Abidjan' which he told the bank was for the importation of cocoa processing machine.
And he reveiw to me where he kept the whole documents concerning this deposit,and that he used my name being I am his only male child for the next of kin in depositing the fund. That same day, he (my father) give up the ghost.
Then with the help of the French soldiers, i excaped with my only surviving sister to Abidjan the capital city, where we are now. And we lost our mother when we are too small, even my yunger sister did not know her , because she died after she deleivered to her.
I am now contacting you believing you are honest and trustworthy to do us a favour to receive this funds to a safe account in your country as the beneficiary, as we are no longer like to stay here due to political problem here and there, and even our father warned us seriously not to expose the deposit to anybody here even his relatives and his business partner for safety of our life, as he was suspecting them for his attack
And he my father advised me to look for a reliable and God fearing foreigner to help us secure and invest the fund in a country where there is steble government for the security reasons . And I have concluded with my yunger sister to do investment with the fund in your country, like real estate or hotel management.
Please we realy need your noble assistance, and I promise to compensate you well for you assiting us. Please do take your time to go through the mail and get back to me immlediately, I am waiting for your response.
Thanks and God bless.
Felix Koromah
