Subject: GOD BLESS YOU
My name is sister Ola Brown, the only daughter of Chief John Brown,My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant based in Lome, The economic capital of Togo before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on their outing to discuss on a business trip.
When my mother died on the 21st october 2000, My father took me so special because I was only child and now motherless.
Meanwhile before the death of my father on 21th of october 2000 in a private hospital here in Lome, He secretly called me on his bedside at the hospital and told me that he has a sum of us$5.8(five million eight hundred thousand united states dollars) left in a finance security company here in lome,he told me that he used my name as the next of kin and deposited the fund.
He also explain to me that it was because of the business amounted to(us$34.000.000.00) which they were having at hand is the reason his business associates has decided to kill him by poison .
So during the sickness in the hospital ,my father adviced me that if he later die as a result of this poison,that i should seek for a foreign partner in any country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose especial in the area of real estate management,and he also told me again that i must make sure i get out of Africa so that they will not kill me also, because i have gone out to inform some people who came to visit my father in the hospital that it is his business associates that has poisoned him,so it seems that those people concerned has heard it and since then the people have not being happy with me .
So finaly my father died on the 29th march 2003. Dear,I am honourablly seeking your assistance in the following ways. 1) I want you to help me and transfer this fund with the security company here to your account abroad?
2) I need you to serve as guardian of this fund since I am a girl of 27 years and i do not want anything to do with anybody from African because of the way my father was killed because i believe that such evil thought is not else where like Africa.
3) I want you to make an arrangement for me to come over to yourcountry to further my higher Education .
Moreover, I am willing to offer you 10% of the total sum as compensation for your effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your account overseas.
Furthermore, You can indicate your option towards assisting me as I believe that this transfer would not take us time if only you are willing to help me and put interest and co-operate with me.
