ATTN SIR,
I receive very encouraging information about you and how trustworthy you are. I am delighted with such useful information. I am interested in the partnership investment program with you or your corporation. I am an ex-member of the Polisario Movement of Western Sahara State. Being the chief executive of my former region, I awarded the contract of IRRIGATION to a top Portuguese Firm worth several millions of dollars. In the execution of that project the Portuguese firm discovered large amount of gold in one of the contract site. I collaborated with the Portuguese Firm on a mutual agreement on the proceed of which my share has been deposited in a coded Security firm in Europe.
On 10th February 2004 my business partner and myself took a flight from Kish to sharjah and we flew Kish airline. We had a plane crash and all members of my friends' family including my very good friend lost their lives. I give thanks to Allah that I am one of the lucky ones that survived the crash.
The airline was under the management of one Mr. Shabab Attarzadeh who was later sacked after this incidence. I had to return to Western Sahara
As the Administrator, I cannot introduce or circulate this fund into the Sahara banking system considering my provisional duty and considering the fact that I earn less than what I have in that account. The above situation prompted my decision to solicit your co-operation to take delivery of this fund into your custody for my proposed investment, as you will be adequately compensated. I will arrange all necessary procedures in ensuring a smooth process for the funds to get to you. I will appreciate you contact me once you receive this mail via my e-mail account indicating your capability and willingness to enable me to give you more details of my modus operandi of getting this money to you hitch free. This matter requires your urgent attention and confidentiality whatever your decision.
Best Regards,
Bukari Karaba
