Subject: DEAR FRIEND.
Dear Friend,
Recently, Dow Jones, a leading investment database listed you as a leading
Africa investment interest. This is the reason I’m contacting you.
This OIL-FOR-FOOD-SCANDAL is consuming me Kojo Annan like hell fire. I am in
the middle of this scandal numbering to several Billion of dollars. What the
press is saying is not entirely truth. But the truth is that I got quiet a
lot of supplies because I developed the project by myself for myself and I
gain from it.
Right now, by the report in http://www.nysun.com/article/5372 titled Annan’s
son took payments through 2004 by Claudia Rosett-special to the sun November
26,2004 and http://www.nysun.com/article/15686 June 20,2005 edition of UN
scandal memo surrounding the identity of Kojo Annan showcases and overblown
scandal . I am compelled to keep these monies away.
I am afraid of getting near them now. If you wish to provide collection and
safekeeping I can refer you to my bank to deal directly with them and
receive the money. But I’ll do a circumvention agreement with you for the
safekeeping.
Awaiting your response soon.
My regards,
Kojo Annan
