Subject: i need your coopration.
Dear Sir,
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 moustap ISSESSAY,the only son of late Mr.
Abubakar mustapha who was the chairman Cacao-Café &
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 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$ 8.5 million dollars(eight million
five hundred thousand us dollars only)in a Finance
house 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 am now contacting you
believing you are honest and trustworthy to help us to
receive the money in your account for investment,I
and my mother has decided in compensating you 20% 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
Finance house where the fund are being kept now for
onward transfer. Reply at moustap2000@yahoo.co.uk
I am waiting for your response.
Thanks and God bless.
moustap ISSESSA
