URGENT ASSISTANCE
MRS MARIE-ROSE EYADEMA.
REPUBLIC OF TOGO W/AFRICA.
TEL: 22507902337.
ATTN. THE PRESIDENT
DEAR SIR,
I quietly believe that my letter will come as a
surprise to you or may even embrace you, being that
you don't know me. I wish to use this medium to
introduce myself to you. My name is MRS MARIE-ROSE
EYADEMA, the third wife of Late President GNASSINGBE
EYADEMA, The former President of The Republic Of Togo.
As the third wife of my late Husband, I am a mother of
two children.
I must solicit for your assistance to move out the sum
of U.S$20.000.000.00
(TWENTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) with a security
company here in Abidjan
which made me to leave Lome, Togo to Abidjan Cote
D'Ivoire, from where I am writing you from.
My late husband deposited this fund with this security
company as personal effect for security reasons. Lucky
for me, my first daughter SABLIN EYADEMA was always
very close to her father and due to the close
relationship existing between her and my late husband,
he told her about this fund before his untimely death.
He confided in my daughter that he deposited the sum
of U.S$20.000.000.00
(TWENTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) with a security
company in COTE D'IVOIRE.
He confided to her that the fund was concealed in a
Metallic Trunk.
He also gave to my daughter the keys of the box where
the money is and also all related documents to this
deposit. On our arrival to Abidjan, I visited the
security company's office to officially notify them
about the death of my husband and let them know my
intention of claiming the consignment deposited by my
late husband in their vault.
Now, I need a trust worthy person who will help us
move this money out of the security company in COTE
D'IVOIRE into his or her personal account. If you are
interested to help us, we promise to give you 30%
commission for your kind assistance, also to go into a
joint venture investment with you in assisting us to
invest this money in your country.
I will also like to say that we must handle this
business secretly because of the family we came from.
African leaders are all very wicked, you can imagine
immediately my late husband died, the first son FAURE
EYADEMA was installed in power by the defense minister
GEN.ZAKARI NANDJA who was the chief of the army staff.
And because of this reason, there is serious problem
in the country now, which made me to leave the country
with my daughter and son, also my children and I do
not want any member of the family to know about this
fund.
If you are willing to stand as our partner to this
transaction, then contact us as soon as you receive
this letter through the above stated contacts to
enable us tell you the next thing to do.
We assure you that there's absolutely no risk involve
in this transaction.
Remain Bless,
Yours Sincerely,
MRS MARIE-ROSE.EYADEMA
