My late husband had lost his life in the course of the War in our country because he was a politician, to be brief we are the family of the former interior minister, Emile Boga Doudou,a great politician in Cote D'Ivoire political arena. Because of my husband's sincerity, he was killed by unknown soldiers in our residential house during the coup plot in Cote D' Ivoire. See BBC News for more information about my late father's death. (<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2268718.stm>)
On his arrival from his trip to oversea,he explained to me and my only Son the reason why he made the trip, before his death he disclose to me and my Son that, he has the sum of Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (USD$5.500,000) deposited with a Finance House here in Cotonou, Republic Of Benin and the name of my Son was stated as the next of kin, the original document of the deposit is intact with me, the deposit document which we have in our possession carries my late husband's name as the depositor, while
my Son's name was the next of kin on the same document.
I and my only Son, we evacuated from Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire to Cotonou Republic Of Benin, because of this deposit that was made by my late husband, because of fear, for people not to collect the fund and kill us, as they do to my husband, that is why we move to Cotonou where my late husband made the deposit for Refugee, under (UNHCR) we have no documentary problems with the Finance House, as we have contact them and have inform them about our plans, but the management, told us that they can not deal with us directly due to our statues as Refugees, the said that the Financial Governing Law of the Country did not allow, people under refugee to participate personal into monetary transaction or operate account international or locally, so the management advice us to look for a reliable person that will stand for us as partner, and the will transfer the Fund to the person position.
The only problem is the nature of our statues here as refugees, which was why i agreed with my son, to seek for your help and assistant, so that you can stand for us while the Finance House will transfer the Fund to your position, that is why I decided to contact you for a strong assistance in helping us to retrieving this fund from, you will help us to put the fund also in a good lucrative business in your country or any country of your choice and manage the investment as we come over, while my Son will continue his education, because he have little or no knowledge about foreign investment pending our coming to join you.
I will explain more to you once you declare your willingness to assist in this transfer, we will send across to you the contact information of the Finance House, the death of my late husband actually brought sorrow to our life, we are in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards, your suggestions and ideas will be highly appreciated, please no matter what your reply will be appreciated, I am 41 years old while my only Son is 22 years old.
Please, there is nothing to be worried about, because all the relevant documents that cover this fund are with me, to your respond, I and my Son, we agreed to compensate you with 25% of the total amount, 5% for any expenses that may come up during retrieval process, as we do not have access to the fund at the moment. Contact me Via my alternative e-mail:mrshellendoudou@myway.com
I wait for your response.
Regard's
Mrs.Hellen Doudou & Son.
