Dearest One.
A PLEA FOR ASSISTANCE.
It's my pleasure to contact you for investment assistance, which I and My Son intend to establish with you and in your country.Though we have not met with you before but I believe, one has to risk confiding in someone to succeed sometimes in life.however is not mandatory nor will in any manner compel you to honour against your will.
I am Mrs Philomina Akwaba the wife of Late Leonard Akwaba, from Nshili District of Gikomgoro Province in the Republic of Rwanda. before the death of my Husband,he was a successful Gold and Cocoa Merchant in Johannesburg, South Africa. Barely a week my husband returned from his usual European business trips, on Wednesday 14th March 2003, he was attacked and killed by some unknown assassins.
The Police could not trace the killers till today, and because I do not know those behind my husband brutal killing and their reasons, I felt out of fear that our safety is not guaranteed, that is the reason why I decided to relocate with the help of the International Care to Abidjan in Cote D' Ivoire (formerly Ivory Coast) to save our life.
He loved me so much, and I was like his confidants to him before their untimely death, as such my Husband gave me informations on a very huge amount .(USD$18,7000,000) ( EIGHTEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
Which he kept for the family. Presently the money is in a Courier's Company Bonded Warehouse .
Full informations to be disclosed later to you on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me.
We have decided to invest this money in your country or anywhere safe enough outside Africa for security and political reasons and because of the problems in where we are now (Abidjan). We want you to help us to travel to your country to see that the .(USD$18.7,000,000) stored in two boxes is transferred to your Country or anywhere as you may advise, as we cannot travel out of Cote d'Ivoire now, as we are Refugees from Rwanda seeking for Asylum.
Note: The Courier's Company does not know the exact content of the box's, as the content was declared to be classified documents and valuables.
The shipment was done with Diplomatic Immunity [not to be inspected by any authority].
If you can be of assistance to me I will be pleased to offer to you 15% of the total fund for your assistance and your advice for the
investments.
I hope to hear from you soonest for us to proceed.
Thank you and God bless you .
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Philomina Akwaba
