RE:QUICK ASSISTANCE NEEDED
I am sure this message is strange to you as you did not know me and neither have we met,I want you to please forgive that I am contacting without seeking your consent.
My name is Koussa Nene Sarah from Ivory-Coast,a french speaking country in the western region of Africa.
I have my personal problem for contacting you and believe that we can understand each other. I am aware of so many things happening on the internet but I want you to understand that it is still the means of communication and I have no choice than to reach you here.
I have written so many times to the United Nations about my problems and infact have been in contact so many people but yet no solution to my problem.I have then made up my mind to make a move of my own which is why I am contacting you.
My late husband was a major in the army of my country(Ivory-Coast)and was a loyalist to the government of Laurent Gbagbo but was arrested on February 16, 2004 by the same government and accussed of supporting the rebel force which controls the northern part of the country.
At first,I did not know his whereabout for several months as no one was ready to give me information about him,I met him on Friday October 1,2004 and immediately knew that my husband was dying.
He was not tried in any law court not even in the military court and I started fighting for his release.
I met with many people both military and politicians who promised that my husband will be released.
On 13th December 2004,I got a call to meet my husband at the military hospital in Yamousoukoro the capital city of Ivory-coast but before I could get there my husband was dead.
To be brief,I have made several moves demanding the cause and reason for the death of my husband but the government failed to give me any reason and instead told me that an investigation is going on about it.
Recently there have been attempts on my life and I am been monitored every where I go,I want to get out of the country and I need your assistance.
I want to move out some amount of money but I cannot do it on my name and that is why I want you to please come to my aid. The amount is $2million.
This is risk free for you,I do not want you to come here,all I need is your trust to assist me as I will tell you exactly what to do.
This is a secret move that I am making and please get back to me quickly if you are in the position to help.
Please send your response to me at koussane@mynet.com
Thanks.
Koussa Nene Sarah.
