PROJECT /ASSOCIATE.
I got your contact from my late husband worldwide email directory that is
why i want to deal with you because all i needed was someone i could trust
for investment purposes and associate.
I am the third wife of President Gnassingbe Eyadema of Togo who died
on the 4th of febuary 2005 as a result of heart attack .Me and my Daughter
Ennety by name i decided to cross over to ENGLAND where i am
communicating with you because the first illegitimate son Faure
Gnassingbe took over with military coup which was against the consitution
and does not want to see any of the children from the other wives hence we
fled.
Although he has stepped down and want to contest but still have powers.We
have suffered maltreatment and untold hardship in the hands of my late
husband's family,simply because I did not bear a male child which is
considered a taboo here and they want me to marry his junior brother after
his death as thier custom.
Before my husband died he disclosed to me that he deposited $5M dollarsin
my name in a safetty metal diplomatic box in a company abraod as family
valuables although he did not tell me the company before he died.
Thank God, two weeks ago, I received Key Text Code from a Company abroad
that my husband made a lodgement in my name in a diplomatic safety
metal Box and it is due for claim since the month of stay paid for has
expired two weeks ago. This is our secret which you are the only person
i've told and espect it to be kept confidential.
We have decided for you to help us move this funds into your account and
will allocate you 10% while you help us invest the others in a lucrative
business and relocate us to your country .But you need to assure me of your
trust that if you help me you will not divert the funds and betray us. This
transaction demands secrecy to aviod any raising of eyebrowns for the safety
of our family.
Awaiting to hear from you immediately witrh your phone numbers and
information and address. so that i can call you. I will give you my phone
number once i hear from you with your numbers too.
