Subject: From: Patricia Kabongo.
In brief introduction, I am Patricia Makaya and my brother Patrick, the only daughter and son of late Dr. Wilfred Kabongo. We are desperate in need of your assistance not minding the distance between us. My late father, an Ex-President of BCC(bourse de cafe and cacao bouake chapter) was a Cocoa
and Cafe merchant in my country Cote D'Ivoire before his untimely death. My mother died when I was still a year old since then father took me so special.
My late father was assassinated on his way back from his trip to South Africa where he went to nagotiate for new branch of his business, my father died after five days in the hospital, on that faithful afternoon, I didn't know that my father was going to leave us because he was the only person
we had.
Before he gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. He told us about his properties/assets in my country. Among these is a sealed box containing the sum of US$7.5Million with some valuables and other properties which we could not lay our hands on as our uncles maltreated us
and collabrated to seize all except the box money they are not aware of.
According to my late father,he wanted to use the money for an investment in foriegn country. He kept the box money under the costudy of a safe deposite security company in my country Cote D'Ivoire, he gave us the contact address of the company and the documents regarding to the box issued to
him by the company. He made us to understand that the security company were not aware of the money content of the box because he decleared it as containing only Gold and personal valuables for security reasons and used my name as the next of kin.
we have succeeded in locating the security company and confirmed the existence with most honesty and confidentiality. It is in respect of this particular box money I am contacting you to help us retreive and transfer to your country for investment purpose into a lucrative business as this is our
only hope of survival in life. We am ready to offer you part of the money for assisting us or you might as well indicate how much you would like to take for assisting us?
Please, kindly reply me immediately for more details if you are interested in this project.
Thanks for your kind attention and mutual understanding.
Sincerely,
Patricia
