Subject: Alsalam alaikum wa rahmat allah wa barakato
Assalama Alaikum,
I am a Togo lese a crown prince of one the largest ethnic group that made up the republic of Togo. We have been major oppositions to the dictorial 39 years rule of the late president Gnassigbe Eyadema. Immediately after the demise of the late ruler 2005 we thought our suffering is gone, alas we were wrong as his son Faure Eyadema manipulated every body even the National House of Assembly to ascend the throne as if is their dynasty. Even though the AU (African Union) which is an authorized body in a matter of this nature inter vain to bring him to order, they couldn’t bring him to reasoning. As he went ahead to conduct an election within a short period and he won.
However he was able to hang on to power not without an underground elimination of the perceived opposition, which claim the life of my beloved father King Kojo Quatara 11.
Fortunately for me I was able to escape to a border country on information from one of the official from my ethnic group that the ruler is after my life as well. Although I had not meet you formally but I believe you can assist me based on my present condition.
After the death of my father all our accounts with the local bank had been frozen. However he was wise to have deposited a large sum of money with a finance company outside our country hence he anticipated, the president was after his life and his was right as he was murdered.
Now it is obvious I cannot return to my country so soon hence I need your assistance to secure this fund in foreign account for safekeeping. I want to invest this money in you country and stayed there until after this present regime is out power.
Thanks and God bless.
Waiting to hear from you
Alpha Quatara
