Subject: Its me Mrs Kate.
Compliments of the season to you.
I presume that this message may come to you as a surprise being that you do
not know me. However please, do treat this matter with keen interest and
urgency too for our mutual benefit.
I am Mrs. Kate Eyadema, wife of the late Gen Gnassingbe Eyadema, president
of the Republic of Togo who just passed away on Saturday the 5th of February
2005.
I am the third wife of my late husband who ruled Togo for 38 years; he died
on the 5th of February having suffered from severe throat cancer for a long
time now.
Without mincing words, I will now go straight to the prime purpose of my
correspondence to you right now.
Prior to his death, my late husband deposited the sum of fourteen million
United States dollars (us$14,000,000.00) in a trunk box with Security
Company for safe keeping purposes here in Africa with my name as the
beneficiary. Although the true content of the trunk box was concealed for
security reasons, the consignment was deposited as containing personal
effects in order not to raise eyebrows.
This decision was reached collectively between my husband and I. This money
was part of security for me and my children's relocation plan to overseas.
Be it known to you now that the Eyadema family is greatly divided as a
result of polygamy and this has caused internal rivalry and disagreement
among the siblings, which of course, is giving me so much concern.
I therefore, want to use this opportunity to move away with my children to
your place for safety. On that note, I solicit for your assistance to move
the said funds (us$14.m) into your account in your country.
Be rest assured, I have made all arrangement needed for the facilitation of
this transfer, I have arranged with the aid of the security company diplomat
to deliver the consignment, where they have a diplomatic immanency that will
cover this money in the box without any check or what so ever which they
agreed to my plea. Upon successful transfer of the said fund and the
receipt confirmation by you, I will travel to meet you in any country where
you shall arrange we stay with rest of my kids for the rest of our lives.
I hereby solicit for your understanding and cooperation to assist me
conclude the transfer of these funds into your account in your country for
lucrative investments there under your supervision. Meanwhile, you stand to
gain in this transaction; I have marked 30% of the entire sum as your
compensation for assisting me concludes this transaction successfully.
I expect you to call me via this number 00228 907622967 as soon as you
finish reading this email so we can discuss on the best modalities of
getting these funds across to you for lucrative investments there under your
supervision. You can as well write back via this email account or via my
alternative Email: contactkateg1@wanadoo.es also do Endeavour to send me
your private telephone and fax numbers to reach you as a matter of urgency.
Thanks with best regards.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Kate Eyadema
