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 assistance,I had to wait untill
now to summon up courage to write to you. I got your address from our
Christians union office.Firstly, I must introduce myself, I am Mrs.Elizabeth
Chile from Cote D'ivoire.
I am the wife of late Brigadier Badou Nsakka Chile My husband was a
Brigadier incharge of arms ammunitions procurement in the Cote D'ivoire
army. In his "Will",he specifically drew my attention to US$20 Million which
he deposited in a safe box of a private Security Company in Lome-Togo
Africa, as a treasure box, fully documented in our first son's name (Mr.
Kenneth Nsakka Chile).
IN FACT MY HUSBAND SAID AND I QUOTE: "My beloved son, I wish to draw your
attention to US$20million(Twenty-Million United States Dollars). I deposited
the box containing the fund in a private Security Company in Lome-Togo.
Before the coup d'etat that took place in our country, I was very dedicated
and committed to be promoted to the post of personal assistance to the
president against until when I found out that senior army officers and top
government functionaries were busy helping themselves with government funds
and properties and sending them to foreign countries".
Due to this when I was assigned by the President (President Henry Konan
BEDIE) to purchase arms from South Africa, I saw this as a golden
opportunity and diverted the fund for my personal use. In case of my absence
on each as a result of death only, you should solicit for the transfer of
the fund out of this shore for investment purposes.
>From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family
depend on this fund, as such I will be grateful if you can assist my son who
is in Lome-Togo for now as an asylum seeker,and the financiallaws and
regulations of the Republic of Togo do not permit an asylum seeker to
operate in a bank or invest.
In view of this, I intend to invest these funds, hence I have contacted you
,I am offering you 20% of the total funds 10% for any expences incured in
course of the transfer of these funds,and 70% 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 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.
God bless you.
Sincerely yours Sister.
Mrs Elizabeth Nsakka Chile.
