Dear Sir
Compliment of the season. This very confidential request should not come as
a surprise to you.I am Mrs Magret h kabba wife of LATE MR JOHNSON KABBA who
worked as the personal advisor on defence matter to president CHARLES TARLOY
of the Democratic Republic of LIBERRIA. I got your contact through your
country's Trade Journal.At the height of the crisis the President personally
mandated and instructed my father to create and equip a special Army Elite
Corps to protect him against the rebels. This instruction was very highly
discreet and confidential and was backed up with the sum of Twenty Eight
Million, United States Dollars (US$28,000,000.00) in cash for the purchase
of arms and ammunition for the elite corps from the republic of South Africa
(R.S.A),
Now there was a problem in my conutry concerning my Husbands dead.I quickly
brought this fund to South Africa where my husband was supposed to negotiate
and purchase the arms and ammunition from ARMSCOR. This money was
transported through diplomatic means in two treasure boxes and only the then
Ambassador knew about my mission. However, the negotiation was still in
progress when his place in Molovia. Then we quickly decided to stop all
negotiations and diverted the funds for our own personal use as it was a
golden opportunity and we could not go back to our country. The money is
presently deposited with a security company here in Johannesburg on 28th May
2003 although they do not know the contents. It is highly confidential
information, which I am disclosing to you.
I want you to keep this secret to yourself even if you are not able to do
business with me. Right now, I seek your assistance in providing an overseas
account to enable me transfer the money out of South Africa to a place where
I can invest it. I have made arrangements on my part to ensure a smooth
remittance. However, due to my status as a refugee, I can neither operate an
account here in South Africa nor can I invest the money that is why I
decided to transfer and invest the funds in your ountry. For your assistance
in providing an account, I will offer you 25% of the total sum, then 5% will
be set aside for expenses incurred in the course of this transaction, while
70% will be for me.
I intend to keep my presence here in South Africa to low profile due to my
popularity at home, so I desire all information I have provided you to be
kept secret. I am in a position to provide you with further details
immediately I receive acknowledgment of this letter from you as soon as
possible as you identify positive interest to assist me. Contact me on above
all this fax numbers and telephone and as soon as possible. I would like to
have your private telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.
Best regards,
Mrs Magret h kabba
