Subject: WHY I CONTACTED YOU.
WHY I CONTACTED YOU.
Hello my dear, Compliment of the day, I’m MRS. HELENE KABA from Sierra-Leone. I lived in Cote D' Ivoire with my only son KEN and my late husband before his death. I picked interest on you after glancing through your short profile; I deemed it necessary to disclose this important issue. Recently, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My doctor said that the cancer has developed to stage 3 and should be going for immedaite surgery in few weeks. I lost my husband during the rebel attacked in 2005. Before his death, he had an account with a bank here in Cote d’Ivoire, where he made a deposit of US$10.5 Millions Dollars. This money was for the purchase of cocoa procession machines and development of another factory, unfortunately he did not meet his target before his untimely death. Why I contacted you, due to the agreement he had with the bank during deposit, I’ve been denied total access to the money, the bank Manager told me precisely that my late husband made this deposited in a suspense fixed account with a clause attached to it "That this fund is for onward transfer into a foreign account but did not state any particular name or country to the beneficiary. I was advised to look for a foreign account where the money can be transferred before I can have access to it because the bank will follow the agreement written and signed by both (the bank and my husband). Since security here cannot be guaranteed to leave only my son here, besides, I’ve lost my husband, I hereby ask you to do me a favour by standing as my late husband’s foreign business partner and the beneficiary of the money to enable the bank effect the transfer into your account.n I have plans to invest this money in continuation with the investment vision of my late husband and into real estate and industrial production to enable my son have a better life, but not in this place again rather in your country please if you are willing to assist me and my only son Ken, indicate your interest in replying soonest. If you agree on this, I’ll give you 15% of the total share when transferred, then 5% will be given to you if you made any expense on the cause of the transfer and 20% for Charity donation.
Waiting to hearing from you, once I hear from you, I'll send you my pictures, also the deposit certificate the bank gave to my late husband. The bank has given me requirements I should forward to them: 1. your full name, contact postal address 2. Your phone and fax numbers. 3. Occupation.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation Yours beloved sister,Mrs. Helene Kaba
