Ruth Konah's Deposit Slip

Thank you for your email to me and your willingness to help meout.

However,as you requested,i have attached here the deposit slip thatwas issued to my late father the day he deposited the money.I would likeyou to contact the bank and discuss with the MD on how the transferwill be made.I am relying on your vast experience because i do not knowmuch about banking or how money is transfered out for investment abroad.Iam a student in the secondary school. That is the more reason why icontacted you for this assistance so that you will negotiate with my latefather's bank as my guardian and my late father's business partner becausei am suffering too much here in the asylum camp and i have no relation totake care of me.

I am looking foward to hear from you as soon as you contact the bankto know the outcome of your discussion with the MD.

Thank you and God bless.

Yours sincerely
Ruth

This guy doesn't seem to feel the same sense of honor that I feel as a result of having brushed elbows with the famous Alice Kobe. I mean, to actually be contacted by someone as famous as Alice!!!

Here's a couple of her e-mail addresses. Feel free to sign her up for porn, "generic viagra," etc.

DEAR FRIEND.
This business proposal to you is strictly confidential, with due respect. Sorry at this perceived confusion or stress may have receiving this letter from me, since we have not known ourselves or met previously. Despite that, I am constrained to write you this letter because of the urgency of it. By way of self-introduction, I am Mrs. Alice Kobe, the wife of late Brigadier - Gen. Maxwell Kobe former ECOMOG ARMY COMMANDER [West African peacekeeping force in Sierra Leone] who died in the Sierra Leone civil disturbance [War]. My three daughters and I are trapped in obnoxious custom and traditional norms. We have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my late husband's family, simply because I did not bear a male child [heir apparent] for my late husband. By tradition, all that my late husband had [wealth] belongs to his brothers/family. And myself is to be remarried by his immediate younger brother, which I vehemently refused. They have taken all that I suffered with my husband to acquire seized by them. I wanted to escape to the abroad with my children on exile, but again they conspired and stole myinternational passport and other travelling document to further frustrate me. Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code from a Security Company in EUROPE, that my late husband deposited U.S $25.5 Million cash with this security company in ONE OF THE EUROPIAN STATE. It has therefore, become very necessary and urgent to contact someone, a foreigner like you to help me receive/secure these funds overseas in a reliable bank Account (presumably an emptyBank Account, if available) and to help invest it on our behalf as well, while we find a way of getting out to meet with you in your country. These funds are kept on an "OPEN BENEFICIARY MANDATE" with the Security Company in EUROPE to avoid detection, seizure or diversion. I have had several telephone discussions with the Director of the security company in Canada, who has express willingness to help me onmeeting the company's demands. This is why I have contacted you tohelp save my children and I, receive these funds on our behalf. But, you wouldneed to give me sufficient assurance that if you help me, you would not divert the funds. My children and I have resolved to give you 20% of the total sum. This is all my children and I have got to live on. Please, I have reposed my confidence in you and hope you will not disappointme.Since I cannot do all alone as a woman and my husband relatives are keepingconstant watch on me, I have decided to involve my immediate younger brother(Henry)to assist me towards the successful and secure processing off this fund into a foreign account.I look forward to your urgent response. Please, E-mail my brother the following information in his mail box (henrykabba@netscape.net):(1)Full Name(2)Contact Address(3)Country/State of Origin(4)Tele/Fax numbers.All this will help us for proper identification and communication with you. NB: The secret codes (e.g. Pin No., Secret Access Code) for this fund are safely kept with me which I can give you as soon as you express desire to help me. Thanks and God bless you.Best Regards Mrs. Alice Kobe



OK, Let's Google Alice Kobe real quick:
Here's a link, here's one, yet another, another, and still another. But why stop? Alice Kobe is widely posted all over the Internet. I think that makes her a celebrity!!! And to think a celebrity is asking me of all people for help! I feel honored, so I better tell her.

"Dear Mrs. Kobe:

I am honoured that you are asking me to participate, as your celebrity status is well known all over the Internet. I feel very lucky to be the one you have chosen to help you in your endeavour. Please send me more information (passport photos, supporting documentation, etc.) so that I can add it to my celebrity scrapbook.

Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

-AH"

I just love it when I get e-mails from "asylum camps." We all know those third-world concentration camp guards like to give the inmates footrubs with their Internet access...

My response? Nothing more than "What kind of document was it, and if you can send me a copy I would be happy to examine it."

From Ruth Konah
Abidjan Asylum Camp, Cote d'Ivoire.

Dear,

Greetings.

I am contacting you based on the believe that you are capable of givingme a helping hand.
But first let me introduce myself. I am Ruth Konah,the only daughter ofMr.Dick Konah,a personal aid to Mr Charles Taylor,former president ofLiberia.

During his planned exit from power,my father who is as well acordinator of some secret export business that he was doing wasassisinated due to some misunderstanding between him and Mr president overthe sharing of some business assets and proceeds. At the event of myfather's mysterious assasination,I was scared that my life is in dangerdue to the manner Mr President normally deals with the families of anyopposing force to him.I quickly took all my fathers personal effects andescaped to Abidjan,capital city of Ivory Coast which has common borderwith our country and sought for refuge.

I found out from the document I found in his personal briefcase that mylate father deposited ($8.5 million US Dollars)in a suspence account witha bank here in Abidjan and I am the next of kin to all this deposit.I haveverified this deposit with the said bank.
I appeal to you to be my guardian,and foster parent and to help me getthis money transfered into your account for investment in your country.

I also plead that you help me resettle my life in your country tofurther my education because I am suffering here in the Asylum camp. Ipromise to keep to any mutual agreement we might reach as regards to yourfinancial compensation if you sincerely help me,but I am ready to give you15% of the total amount as your own part for your efforts.

I will give you more details as soon as we recieve a reply from you.

Pls I would like you to keep this message very confidential to yourselfeven if you do not want to help me.This is for my security and that of themoney as this country is very close to mine.

You can reach back to us with our family email address (kona_family@yahoo.fr)

Ibrahim Momoh was a close friend, and as a former Diplomate in my Country Liberia, he was able to assist me ship the consignment for deposit in an undercover Diplomatic Security Company in Europe. I told him that my business partner

You can call me for further advise.

Bye for now while expecting your prompt response.

Turns out our old pal Raymond is also a woman, perhaps a transvestite, maybe a transexual, maybe just confused about his gender identity.

I am Mrs Sankoh Kady, My husband was the late Sierra-Leonean revolutionary RUF leader.

Not only that, Raymond (Or, perhaps, "Gaymond") claims "I am here with my daughter, I am sincerely seeking aforiegn aid to assist me get this fund oversea for investment. "

Our gender-identity-crisis-suffering friend also pops up here.

Most amusing are the bitingly sarcastic condolences people offer Mr. Raymond Mba/Madam Kady upon learning of the death of their husbands and the great wealth they are trying to smuggle out of Africa.
