Subject: Hello
Dear,
I am contacting you believing you are a honest and trustworthy person.
I believe you will not betray the confidence I am willing to repose in
you, for me to have contacted you even though we've not met before.
My name is karim abubakar Sallah,the only son of late Mr.Hassan
Goudali Sallah who was the chairman /President/Ceo,Cacao-Cafi &
Agro-Alimentaire industrie Plc.(SCAFECAO)"Bouake" and ex-owner of
Polyclinic LA-MADONNE, of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire.
You can find the story on this website:
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/2269238.stm>
On 19th of September 2002,a group of so called rebels took over the
city of Bouake to over-throw the Government of Mr. Laurent Gbagbo the
President of Cote d'Ivoire. On the next day morning at about 4:18am
some fractions of the same group of rebels break into our house and
killed our security guard and pass-through the gate entrance to the
main building and took my father away to an un-known destination.
After about four hours later we found him (my father) at the road side,
by then he had been totally beaten and was bleeding to death lying in
the pool of his own blood. From there, we rushed him to a near by
hospital and hours later he sent for my mother. So he told her that he
can not make it from the doctors diagnosis, he also told her that it was
because he (my father) was not from the northern part of the country
that he has been treated this way and also being a political activist.
And again he said he is suspecting some of his business partners for
conspiracy and this sort of brutality. He also told my mother that he
deposited a huge amount of money about US$ 10.5 million dollars
(Ten million five hundred thousand us dollars only)in a Forex Company
in the Capital city of Senegal (Dakar) and also told her where he kept
the whole documents concerning this deposit that is made for investment
purpose in the western world.
That same day, he (my father) gave up the ghost. Then with the help of
the French soldiers, we escaped to Senegal, where we are now. I'm writing
with a view of soliciting for your kind assistance towards the retrival
and transfer of this fund to your account for further investment.
Your able co-operation is to become my business partner in your country
and create ideas on how money will be invested,properly managed and the
type of investment after the money is transferred to your custody with
your help and assistance, I and my mother has decided in compensating you
10% of the total amount for your assistance .
Please do take your time to go through the mail and get back to so that
I will simply introduce to the Forex Company where the fund are being
kept now for onward transfer.
I am waiting for your response.
Thanks and God bless.
Karim abubakar Sallah.
