Dearest One,
I will appreciate your kind gesture to find time to give response to my
message to you. First and foremost and brief self introduction, I am Suzzana
Johnson,22years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr and Mrs.
Joseph Johnson.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of
his business trips abroad year 12th.Feb. 2003.Though his sudden death was
linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who
travelled with him at that time. But God
knows the truth.
My mother died when I was just 4 years old, and since then my father took me
so special. Before his death on Febuary 12 2003 he called the secretary who
accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of $12million
US DOLLARS (TWELVE MILLION USA DOLLARS) with INVESTMENT TRUST CONTINENTAL
BANK TOGO(ITCB) here in Lome Togo.
He also said that he diposited the money as the family wealth and used my
name to Deposit the money as his first daugther for next of kin. He also
explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by
his business associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in a
country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for
investment purposes.
I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as
a beneficiary of the fund,
and also use it for an investment purpose. I am just 22 years old and high
school certificate holder, really don't know what to do. Now I want an
account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This
is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant
crisis here in Lome Togo. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to
my life.
Dearest one, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this
regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded, so that I will
know I'm going to come over to your country since the bank made me to
understand that they can be able to made the transfer to any country of my
choice.
Now permit me to ask these few questions as follows:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your Sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you
after the money is in your account?
Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible through these
email: suzzana_johnson@yahoo.com
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Suzzana Joseph Johnson.
