Dear Beloved,

I know you will be surprised to read from me,but please consider this letter
as a request from a family in dare need of assistance,I had to wait untill
now to summon up courage to write to you.

Firstly, I must introduce myself, I am Mrs. Mrs Mary Uba Chile from Cote
D'ivoire. I am the wife of late Brigadier Badou Nsakka Chile My husband
was a Brigadier incharge of arms ammunitions procurement in the Cote D'ivoire
army. In his "Will", he specifically drew my attention to US$20 Million
which he deposited in a safe box of a private Security Company Lomo-Togo,
as a treasure box, fully documented in our first son's name (Mr. Kenneth
Nsakka Chile).

IN FACT MY HUSBAND SAID AND I QUOTE: "My beloved son, I wish to draw your
attention to US$20million(Twenty- Million United States Dollars). I deposited
the box containing the fund in a private Security Company in lome-Togo.
Before the coup d'etat that took place in our country, I was very dedicated
and committed to be promoted to the post of personal assistance to the president
against until when I found out that senior army officers and top government
functionaries were busy helping themselves with government funds and properties
and sending them to foreign countries".

Due to this when I was assigned by the President (President Henry Konan
BEDIE) to purchase arms from South Africa, I saw this as a golden pportunity
and diverted the fund for my personal use. In case of my absence on each
as a result of death only, you should solicit for the transfer of the fund
out of this shore for investment purposes.

From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family
depend on this fund, as such I will be grateful if you can assist my son
who is in Lome-Togo for now as an asylum seeker,and the financiallaws and
regulations of the Republic of Togo do not permit an asylum seeker to operate
in a bank or invest. In view of this, I intend to invest these funds, hence
I have contacted you ,I am offering you 30% of the total funds 10% for any
expences incured in course of the transfer of these funds,and 60% will be
for my Son and i for our personal investments and usage.

I am converting the idea that Satan the Devil wanted to use these funds
for the purchse of Armunition to destroy lives to the preaching of the gospel
of Christ Finally, modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed
to you once we have established trust and confidence between ourselves.


please treat this matter as very urgent & privacy.

I await for your urgent response.

God bless you.

Sincerely yours.

Mrs Mary Uba Chile.
