Subject: I await for your urgent response.
Dear Friend & partner,
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 your assistance. I had to wait
untill now to summon up courage to write to you through the intensity of
this proposal; I got your address from our bussiness consultant union office
in TOGO.
Firstly,I must introduce myself, I am Mrs.Akuvi Peace Gnassingbé , i am one
of the wives of the late president of the republic of TOGO, President
Gnassingbé Eyadéma (Late) who died on 4th of february 2005,after rulling the
country for 38 years.
Due to my position as one of the wives, i have a son for him with name,
Kossi Eyadéma (14years old). However, before my husband died, he deposited a
consignment in a security company in TOGO with my first son's name which he
said that it is my portion of the his wealth.
President Gnassingbé Eyadéma (Late) thereby instructed that the consignment
remains under the custody of the security company until my son is at least
18 years. Now after his death, from the documents, i discovered that the
consignment contains an amount of fund US$10.2M ( Ten Million, Two Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars) .
Since after the death of my husband, a new government was introduced which
was his first son for another woman. The son is now the new democratic and
elected president of TOGO, Faure Gnassingbé by name as was elected on 24th
of April, 2005. My husband been a man of many wives, i do not want anybody
to know about this said fund. Even the security company doesn't know that it
contains money because my husband tagged it as " Family Valuables" for
security purpose.
About 5 years before his death, myself and my son were not allowed to have
access to him and life has become extreemly difficult for us due to his
attitude of not staying with one woman. We hardly find food to eat if not
the help of God because we had to vercate TOGO to a negbouring country . We
returned just few days after his death and now back because of his death to
claim the consignment.
Myself and my son thereby need your assistance to help us claim the
consignment to avoid broadcast by news about the fund. Everything about this
fund is private until now and well secured, and i have contacted you on that
assurance. I am in possession of the documents and i want the consignment
outside TOGO to your country after which myself and my son will join you.
I am offering you 25% of the total funds 10% for any expences incured in
course of the transfer of these consignment,and the remaining 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 because that was
his original purpose before he changed his mind and remembered me and my
son.
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.
Sincerely yours.
Mrs.Akuvi Peace Gnassingbé.
