GREETING
Dear Friend,
My name is Mrs. Hawa Musa , I'm the wife of captain Musa Dandi , my husband was the chief security officer to the former militry head of states of Cote d'Ivoire,Genaral Robert Guei, who was assasinated on september 2002 by the troops royal to president Laurent Gbagbo who is the current president of Cote D'Ivoire now.
My husband was among those that where killed with genaral Robert Guei during the attempted coup of september 2002. Before his untimely death, he gave me a deposit certificate of a private security company in LOME-TOGO.
He told me that he defaced some ($6,200,000.00) SIX MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE OF AMERICAN DOLLAR and kept in a vaults of a security company for safe custody.
He registered the box containing this amount as precious metal as he does not want the security company to know that the deposited items where money.
Immediately I discovered that my husband is dead I and my son Ahmed Musa flee to LOME-TOGO so as to make the necessary arrangment on how this money will be transfered out of here because the two counrties have
the same political back ground and I need an experienced person like you to assist me by acting as my husband's foreign partner and claim this sum of money.
So I will identify you as my husband's foreign partner and you will direct all the investments that we will do with this money.
We have contacted the security company here in Lome-Togo and they have promised us a maximum co-operatiopn on the arrival of my husband's partner.
If you accept this proposal, I will submit your name to the management of the security company as my husband's partner. There will be a change of ownership which will authomatically up grade you as the beneficiary of this money.
As soon as we retrive this money, you will pay it into your private company's account in your country for futher investments. If you are interested,please contact me on this e-mail address above for futher information.
After a successful transaction, we shall give you 25% of the total money and 5% will be set aside for all the expenses that we might incure in the curse of this transaction,while the remaining 70% will be for investment in future for me and my son in your country.
Thanking you in advance for your interest to help us.
Awaiting for your positive response.
God bless you and your family.
Your's faithfully
Mrs Hawa Musa,
NB: Please furnish me with your direct telephone and fax numbers and bear in mind that this transaction is 100% safe and risk -free on your side.
