Subject: I am.expecting your urgent reply..


I am. Mr Jeffery W. Shabangu.

I am.expecting your urgent reply..With regard to your reputation and who
will not disappoint me nor deny me in faith, I am directing this letter of
assistance to you. I am Jeffery Shabangu. the son of Mr. williams Shabangu.
from Sierraleon with my sister. Susan. in desire to get somebody who will
safe guard my interest Briefly, our father Mr williams Shabangu was a Gold
and Cocoa merchant who based in Lome Togo and had a branch office in Accra
Ghana.

My father was a wealthy Gold/Cocoa merchant who has business in many
countries in Europe, America and Asian countries. According to my father my
own mother died when I was about six years of age which means that I did not
even know my mother very well. The story is that my father was poisoned to
death by one of his brother about seven months ago, in one of the private
Hospital here in lome.But when he was about to die, he called us beside his
sick bed and told us that he deposited the sum of TEN MILLION DOLLARS
(US$10.M) in a suspense account in one of the prime bank here in LOME TOGO.
This money was kept for us in my name, his only Son.

Right now I am a first year student of business management in one of the
University here. My only problem now is that since my father has been
poisoned to death by his brother , I dont even trust any other person here
again including my fathers brothers and sisters.As it may interest you to
know
I got your impressive information through one of my good friends who works
with Chamber of Commerce on foreign business relations here in Lome-Togo
though I did not disclose this idea to him. Right now, I want you to help us
come as my father business Partner in this bank.To provide a personal / bank
account where this amount can be transferred.

Pls.help us as his business Partner due to my age, I am only.26 years of
age.personally I keep this idea secret within myself .I appreciate if you
consider our condition and help us,and we will be willing to proceed with
you as soon as we receive your response.waiting for your response.

Thanks for your understanding

Jeffery & susan Shabangu.
