Subject: PROJECT /ASSOCIATE.
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. Please
you are adviced to send yor reply to this Email Adddress
