HENRY OKUKU
RUE 25 MACCORY
ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE.
WEST AFRICA
GOOD DAY DEAR
My name is henry okuku from Sierra Leonian. I am 19 years old and a student.
Please I would like you to assist me as urgent as you can, before they kill
me.My father is a wealthy cocoa merchant. Trouble began early last year when
my father's associates began suspecting that my father is not givingn prope
accounts of all the tonnes of cocoa being cultivated by local farmersn in
some villages. This mistrust deepens between Oct-Sept, 2003 when they
discovered avery large some of money my father deposited with a
Bank here in ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE (FORMALLY IVORY COAST in West Africa. As
a result of this discovery and the envy on the money he was poisioned by his
associates.
At his hospital bed ,he revealed to me the reasons of his sickness and
directed me where to get the documents of the said deposit which he made on
my name as the next of kin, being the only child. He advised me that in case
he die, that I should not stay in this country Sierre Leone because his
associates will equally kill me hence my mother had
died five years ago of breast cancer.
He also instructed that if he dies, I should look for a foreign partner who
will help me to transfer the money out of this place (Abidjan Cote
d'Ivoire), to his account and the person will help me to invest the money in
that country.
Based on this, I had to contact you bearing in mind that you will be humane
enough to protect my life.
My father finally died on the 5th of june,2004 and since then, I was out of
school and went into hiding because of my father's associates. All the
relevant documents of the $5.000,000.(Five Million United States Dollars)
that was deposited in a Commercial Bank by my late father, are with me now.
I will give you 15% of the total money, if you can help me transferring it
into
your Account, for onward investment in your country.
Please contact me immediately with the above E-mail address and include
your telephone and Fax numbers to enable me send you all necessar documents
asregards the money before they kill me. It is a risk free transaction.
I'm waiting for your urgent reply.
Best regards.
sincerely,
henry okuku
