Subject: RESCUE AND INVESTMENT
I have a new email address!You can now email me at: drjhd@yahoo.ca
- I ask for your understanding to invest in any good business ventures or Real Estate in your country. You can as well suggest other viable businesses worth undertaking since you know better the investment climate in your country. You will nominate who becomes the managing director after the company is set up. It will then remain for us to negotiate mode of rewards, and drawing the articles of association. My name is John Githongo citizen of Kenya and Special Duty Assistant to the president of Kenya, Mwai Kibaki. At the wake of the last cataclysm that enveloped his alleged re-election in which thousands of people were killed by soldiers loyal to the President, which was snowballing into full scale war, he secretly sent me to Russia to buy war ammunition in readiness for any eventuality with the sum of $20,500,000.00 (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars). This amount you may want to know, was the proceeds from the sale and export of Diamond. In order to have easy passage, this amount was packaged in two diplomatic crates with immunity against custom checks. But soon after take off, I had to change my mind since I did not like the action of the President against his own people and more over he rigged the election at the expense of the opposition which he now wanted to kill. As a result I diverted and stopped in Britain. Owing to my sympathy to our people I resolved and quietly lodged the money into the vault of a finance house in Britain and deffected to another Afican country where it will be easier for me to obtain political asylum for my safety for now. Therefore, I cut off communication with my former boss soon after sailing off, and kept him totally blind about my way-about to avoid any iota of trace which has succeeded. However,due to my international status, I was not able to use my name as the beneficiary to this fund. So, I agreed with the finance house that this fund should be released to my appointed RECEIVER AND PARTNER who will have to present to them evidence of deposit which was issued to me which I will now send to you for presentation to the finance house. You have to tell me how much share of the total amount you can accept for your invaluable assistance. Above all, you have to be honest and truthful to me. This is important since we have never met, though we shall definitely meet when you confirm receipt of the fund from the finance house. Furthermore, for all the many years of service I put in, this money is the only thing I have to show for it, and so its safety ensures my existence and that of my family, otherwise,we are finished hence the need for you to BE TRUSTWORTHY. You should not entertain any fear as everything has been arranged and loopholes covered to avoid any trace. I shall be highly relieved to receive your positive and immediate reply with your contact phone number to facilitate communication given the importance of this business me. Yours sincerely, John Githongo
