FROM BENJAMIN GUEI
DEAR,
I AM BENJAMIN GUEI;THE FIRST SON OF AN EX MILITARY/EX
PRESIDENT BEEN AN OPPOSITION PARTY TO THE PRESENT
GOVERNMENT OF COTE D`IVOIRE. ON THE 19TH SEPT 2002 MY
FATHER/MOTHER INCLUDING EVERY MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY WAS
MURDERED BY THE UNKNOWN REBELS DURING THE TIME THEY ATTACK
OUR HOUSE BY SHOOTING AND LOOTING, EVEN THIS IS ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE PRESENT CRISIS IN OUR
COUNTRY TODAY. GOD SO KIND, I WAS NOT IN TOWN WHEN THE
INCIDENT OCCURRED, THE PLANS OF THE REBELS IS TO KILL
EVERY MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY SO THAT NO ONE WILL RISE UP TO
REVENGE AS TIME GOES ON.
I AM IN OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING,ALTHOUGH I AM
ON HIDING SO THAT THE UNKNOWN REBELS WILL NOT GET TO ME
AND KILL ME LIKE THEY KILLED ALL THE MEMBERS OF OUR
FAMILY.
THE REASON I STILL STAY BACK IN OUR COUNTRY IS TO TRANSFER
THE $5.5MUSD WHICH MY LATE FATHER,DEPOSITED IN ONE OF THE
FOREIGN BANK HERE IN ABIDJAN IVORY COAST WEST
AFRICA, WHICH HE DISGUISED AND DECLARED AS FUND BELONGING TO HIS FOREIG=
N BUSINESS PARTNER,BUT HE DID NOT DISCLOSE ANY CONTACT OR NAME TO THE,T=
HAT WAS FOR SECURITY PURPOSE TO AVOID RAISING EYEBROW.
BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER HE GAVE ME THE COVERING
DOCUMENTS OF THE FUND DEPOSITED IN THE BANK
AS I AM HIS FIRST SON AND HE SO MUCH LOVED ME THAT WAS WHY
HE MADE ME THE BENEFICIARY OF THE FUND DEPOSIT.
RIGHT NOW I WISH TO TRANSFER THIS
FUND TO YOUR ACCOUNT SO THAT YOU WILL ASSIST ME TO INVEST
THE MONEY INTO ANY VIABLE INVESTMENT IN YOUR COUNTRY, ALSO
YOU WILL HELP ME TO JOIN YOU IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR ME TO
START UP A NEW LIFE WITH YOU THERE IMMEDIATELY THE FUND
GETS TO YOU. SINCE I AM NO LONGER SAFE AS FAR AS AFRICA IS
CONCERN AT THE MOMENT, I WANTED TO TRANSFER THE FUND
BEFORE LEAVING THE COUNTRY BECAUSE THIS FUND IS MY LAST
HOPE AND THE ONLY HOPE I HAVE NOW. BEFORE I EVEN PICK YOU
TO ASSIST ME I HAVE PRAYED AND SLEPT OVER IT ASKING GOD TO
PROVIDE FOR ME A GODLY MINDED PERSON THAT WILL ASSIST ME
IN THIS TRANSACTION. PLEASE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ASSIST
ME, DO SEND IN YOUR REPLY IMMEDIATELY BASED ON THE
