It is a pleasure to introduce to you a business that will make the beginning
of never-ending family relationship.

I hope that this proposal will not be an inconvenience or embarrassment
to you. I must not hesitate to confide in you this simple and sincere request
business for our mutual benefit.

I am jacque Rusanganwa the only son, of late Mr.Steve Rusanganwa,a Tutsi
in Republic of Rwanda.I am 23 years of age. My father was a prosperous coffee
and tin ore merchant in Kigali, capital of the Republic of Rwanda before
his untimely death. After his business trip to Abidjan -ivore cost,to negotiate
on a Coffee and tin ore business he wanted to invest in Abidjan ? ivore
cost.

A week after he came back from Abidjan, he was attacked with my mother by
unknown assassins suspected to be Hutsis who believed that my father has
been given financial support to Tutsi Militia Rebels.

My mother died instantly but my father died after five days in a private
hospital on that faithful afternoon.

I didn't know that my father was going to leave me after I had lost my mother.

By the grace of God, I was aided by a business partner of my father through
our church pastor in Kigali to escape to Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire. But before
my father gave up the ghost, it was as if he knew he was going to die. He,my
father, may his soul rest in peace,disclosed to me that he deposited the
sum of US$12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million, five hundred thousand United States
Dollars Only) in cash with a bank here in Abidjan which he declare and register
which i have all the lager pappers.

Because of political problems here, my late later signed an agreement with
the bank to tensfer the money to a foreign trustee of my choice.

So I want you to please assist me stand as my nominated foreign trustee
and claim money from the bank.

The money was meant for the importation of machineries for his coffee processing
plant for a company which he wanted to establish in Abidjan ? Cote d'Ivoire.
Unfortunately he did not live to achieve it before he was gunned down. But
since I have no experience or interest in this type of business he advised
me to seek a reliable and trust worthy business partner who will assist
me to secure and transfer this funds abroad strictly for investment purposes
and for guidance. He advised me never to live in Africa before his death.


Now I am soliciting for your assistance to help me to secure and transfer
this fund to your account, holding on my behalf and aid me to leave Africa.
When I join you, we can then invest jointly in any meaningful lucrative
business in your country because this is my only hope in life.

You shall be entitled to a significant portion of the fund which will be
eliberated upon your acceptance to this offer. Waiting anxiously to hear
from you so that we can discuss the modalities of this transaction. Thanks
for your kind attention and expected positive response.

Yours sincerely,

jacque
