KINDEST ATTENTION,

PLEASE PERMIT ME TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE IN SO INFORMAL A MANNER. THIS
IS NECESSITATED BY 
MY URGENT NEED TO REACH A DEPENDABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY FOREIGN PARTNER. THIS
REQUEST MAY 
SEEM STRANGE AND UNSOLICITED BUT I CRAVE YOUR INDULGENCE AND PRAY THAT YOU
TAKE MY 
REQUEST VERY SERIOUS.

I AM MR MICHAEL TRAORE, A REKNOWNED BUSINESSMAN IN ONE OF THE REBEL-HELD
TOWNS, BOUAKE 
(ONE OF THE WAR ZONES IN IVORY COAST) I RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM A
RELIABLE SOURCE WHO 
DESCRIBED YOUR COUNTRY AS BEING ECONOMICALLY CONDUCIVE FOR INVESTMENT AND
HER PEOPLE AS 
TRANSPARENT AND TRUSTWORTHY TO ENGAGING BUSINESS WHICH MADE ME TO WRITE
YOU. AS YOU 
MAY WANT TO KNOW AND TO MAKE YOU LESS CURIOUS,I GOT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
FROM AN INTERNET 
SITE THAT PORTRAYED YOU (YOUR ESTABLISHMENT) IN GOOD LIGHT.

ON THE 17TH OF SEPTEMBER 2002. THE REBEL LEADERS, UNTIL THEN WERE LOYAL
SOLDIERS TO THE 
GOVERNMENT OF PRESIDENT LAURENT GBAGBO CONTACTED ME IN MY OFFICE WITH THE
BUSINESS OF 
IMPORTATION OF ARMOURIES. WITHOUT THE PREMONITION OF WAR, I ACCEPTED THE
JOB. THE SOLDIERS 
PAID ME THE SUM OF TWENTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS (US$ 20.5) ON 
THE SPOT AND TOLD ME TO EXPEDITE ACTION. SINCE I AM NOT INTO IMPORTATION
OF ARMUNITIONS AND 
BECAUSE OF THE URGENCY, I IMMEDIATELY STARTED MAKING SEVERAL CONTACTS WITH
BUSINESSMEN 
ACROSS THE GLOBE.

TWO DAYS LATER, HEAVY FIGHTING BROKE UP IN CENTRAL BAOUKE AND KORHOGO,
EVERYWHERE WAS IN 
DISSARRAY AND I LOST EVERYTHING THAT TOOK ME SO MANY YEARS TO ACQUIRE. I
HAVE NO OPTION 
THAN TO DO AWAY WITH THE US$20.5M.


MY WIFE AND I QUICKLY MADE AN ARRANGEMENT WITH A RED CROSS RELIEF WORKER
WHO USED HIS 
OFFICIAL VAN TO MOVE THIS MONEY TO ABIDJAN, ALTHOUGH HE DID NOT KNOW THE
REAL CONTENT OF 
THE BOX.  PRESENTLY, THIS FUND HAS BEEN DEPOSITED WITH A SAFE RELIABLE
SECURITY COMPANY IN 
ABIDJAN WHERE I AM HIDING FROM THE REBEL WHO DECLEARED ME WANTED. I DO NOT
WANT TO INVEST 
THIS MONEY IN ABIDJAN DUE TO UNFAVORABLE ECONOMIC CLIMATE.  AS A RESULT, I
KEPT THE MONEY IN A 
CUSTOM BONDED WAREHOUSE WITH THE SECURITY COMPANY.  SO THAT I CAN NOT LAY
MY HANDS ON IT 
UNTIL
IT GETS TO YOUR COUNTRY, WHERE I WILL COMMENCE INVESTMENT.

THE ONLY ASSISTANCE WE NEED FROM YOU WHICH I BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO FOR US
ARE THE 
FOLLOWING:

1. MAKE IMMEDIATE ARRANGEMENT TO TAKE THE DELIVERY OF THE CRATE (FUND) AT
THEIR EUROPE OR 
AMERICAN COMMISSION AGENTS.

2. ASSURANCE FROM YOU THAT YOU WILL NOT SIT ON OUR SHARE WHEN THIS FUND
GETS TO YOUR 
COUNTRY.

MY WIFE AND I AGREED THAT YOU SHALL BE ENTITLED TO 20% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT
WHILE THE 
PRINCIPAL SUM WILL BE INVESTED IN A VIABLE BUSINESS VENTURE WITH YOUR
ADVICE. MOST 
IMPORTANTLY, I WILL LIKE TO BUY A PERSONAL HOUSE WHERE MY WIFE, MY TWO
SONS AND I WILL 
RESIDE.

UPON CONFIRMATION OF YOUR INTEREST TO HELP US AS OUR FOREIGN PARTNER TO
CLAIM THE CRATE 
FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY ON OUR BEHALF AT ANY OF THEIR COMMISSION AGENT
CLOSER TO YOU, I 
SHALL FURNISH YOU WITH THE DETAILS OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE CONSIGNMENT TO
BE SCHEDULED IN 
YOUR FAVOUR BY THE SECURITY COMPANY PREPARE AN AIRWAY BILL AND TAG THE
CONSIGNMENT IN 
YOUR FAVOUR.  YOUR PRIVATE FAX AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS ARE NEEDED TO ENHANCE
THE SPEEDY 
CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION (OUR ONLY HOPE IN LIFE NOW) URGENTLY.

KINDLY TREAT AS URGENT AND CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY THROUGH THE ABOVE E-MAIL
ADDRESSES 
(miketraore@rediffmail.com or miket@maktoob.com).  I HAVE NOT ACQUIRED A
NEW PHONE AS I LOST ALL MY 
PROPERTIES IN BOAUKE

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

MR MICHAEL TRAORE
