Subject: DEAR ONE,
FROM MRS.MARIAM USMAN HABIB
PLOT 144 RUE AJAMEI COCODY,
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE.
TEL: +225-058-42513
DEAR ONE,
I GOT YOUR CONTACT THROUGH THE DIRECTORY AND BELIEVED THAT YOU MUST BE A
TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE PERSON THAT WILL NOT LIKE TO INTIMIDATE ME OR BETRAY
MY TRUST AFTER HEARING THIS NEWS.
I AM A NATIVE OF KONOBO IN THE KENEMA LOCAL DISTRICT OF SIERRA LEONE IN
WEST AFRICA REGION AND THE FIRST AND ONLY WIFE OF LATE MAJOR USMAN HABIB,WHO
DIED ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS NOW.
MY HUSBAND SERVED IN THE MILITARY REGIME OF MAJOR JOHNNY KOROMA THAT OUSTED
THE CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT OF PRESIDENT AHMAD KABBAH, AS A SPECIAL DUTY OFFICER
OVERSEEING THE AFFAIRS OF THE AFRC MILITARY FORCE THAT OVERTHROWN THE THEN
CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT.
HOWEVER THEY WERE FORCEFULLY OUSTED BY THE ECOMOG PEACE KEEPING FORCE THAT
CAME TO RESTORE PEACE AND HE WAS GRANTED POLITICAL ASYLUM TO RESIDE IN ABIDJAN-COTE
D IVOIRE (A NEIGHBOURING COUNTRY) UNTIL HIS DEATH AND WHERE I AM STILL RESIDING
UP TILL NOW.
AS THE FIRST AND ONLY WIFE WITH TWO SON'S OF MY LATE HUSBAND, I WISH TO
LET YOU KNOW THAT WE INHERITED MY HUSBAND WEALTH OF CASH SUM OF US$12,000,000
(TWELVE MILLION U.S.DOLLARS) THIS MONEY WAS HIS OWN SHARE OF THE MONEY SIPHONED
BY THE MILITARY REGIME DURING HIS SERVICE DAYS IN THEIR MILITARY TENURE,
PURPORTEDLY MEANT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE AFRC FORCE.
UNDER DIPLOMATIC CONNECTIONS, THE BOXES CONTAINING THE MONEY WERE POSSIBLY
BROUGHT DOWN FROM SIERRA LEONE TO ABIDJAN, COTE D'IVOIRE AND DEPOSITED WITH
A BANK HERE FOR SAFE KEEPING WITH THE HELP OF HIS FRIEND IN THE BANK. HIS
(MY HUSBAND) INTENTION WAS TO OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT IN SWITZERLAND AND TRANSFER
THE MONEY FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENTS, BUT LATER DECLINED FROM THIS INTENTION
AS HIS ILLNESS DETERIORATED WHICH EVENTUALLY LEAD TO HIS DEATH.
HOWEVER, I WAS JUST CONTACTED BY A FRIEND OF MY HUSBAND (IN THE BANK) ADVISING
ME TO MOVE THE MONEY OUT OF THIS COUNTRY COTE D IVOIRE TO A FOREIGN ACCOUNT
DUE TO THE RECENT POLITICAL/ ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THIS COUNTRY.
NOW MY PROBLEM IS TO NEGOTIATE WITH A FOREIGN PARTNER WHO IS RELIABLE AND
HONEST TO CONFIDE MY TRUST UPON MY INTENTION TO MOVE THIS MONEY OUT IMMEDIATELY,
AS I DO NOT WANT THIS MONEY HERE NEITHER WOULD L LIKE TO INVOLVE ANY LOCAL
PERSON/S IN THIS AFFAIR, BECAUSE IT IS PRIVATE AND I DO NOT WANT TO LAY
HANDS TO THIS MONEY UNTIL I CONCLUDED ALL ARRANGEMENT WITH A FOREIGN PARTNER
AND MOVED THIS MONEY TO AN OVERSEAS BANK ACCOUNT.
PLEASE MY REASON OF CONTACTING YOU IS TO REQUEST FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND
ASSISTANCE TO HELP RECEIVE THIS MONEY INTO FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT OF YOURS,BY
PROVIDING A BANK ACCOUNT EITHER COMPANY?S OR PRIVATE ACCOUNT WHERE THE FUND
CAN BE REMITTED, ALTERNATIVELY, YOU CAN OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH $100 DOLLARS
IN YOUR NAME AND SEND THE ACCOUNT DETAILS TO ENABLE ME ARRANGE FOR THE TRANSFER.
NOTE THAT THE MODALITIES OF THIS TRANSACTION ARE SUBJECT TO NEGOTIATION
BETWEEN US AND I HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE OUT 20% TO ANY ONE WHO WISH TO HELP
ME FINALISE THIS PROJECT. TO PROVE MY SINCERITY, I WILL LIKE YOU TO VISIT
ABIDJAN COTE D'IVORIE IN PERSON TO SEE THINGS FOR YOURSELF, BECAUSE SEEING
IS BELIEVING AND ALSO TO BEAR IN MIND THAT MY HUSBAND WAS NEVER ACCUSED
IN
ANY FORM OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY OUR COUNTRY?S GOVERNMENT OR ANY GOVERNMENT/PERSON,
BUT MADE THIS MONEY DURING HIS SERVICE DAYS IN THE MILITARY REGIME AND THIS
DEAL IS CONFIDENTIAL.
PLEASE BE REST ASSURED THAT THERE IS NO RISK OF ANY SORT BEHIND THIS MONEY
AS THE MONEY IS MINE, JUST THAT I CAN?T LAY MY HAND ON THIS MONEY BASED
ON THE AGREEMENT MY HUSBAND HAD WITH THE BANK ON THE DAY OF DEPOSIT.
PLEASE DO CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY FOR MORE DIRECTIVES ON MODALITIES ON HOW
WE CAN MOVE THIS MONEY IMMEDIATELY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. ALSO, REMEMBER THE
CONFIDENTIALITY AND URGENCY MY LETTER REQUIRED WHILE L EXPECT TO HEAR FROM
YOU.
THANKS AND REMAIN BLESSED,
MRS.MARIAM USMAN HABIB
