by his business associates about seven months ago.
Before his death he told me and my sister that he deposited the sum of Ten
Million five hundred thousand United State Dollars (US$10.5M) in a suspense
account in BTCI BANK TOGO , one of the prime bank here in LOME TOGO. This
money was kept for us in my name. When his illness was too much and he knows
that he can not make it again, he called me and my sister to near him at the
sick bed, he advised us to move this fund in the bank to a foreign country
where we can continue our education, because he don't want anything to
happen to us, he knows that his business partners are not happy with his
family.

don't want anybody around us to know anything about this fund because our
father told us not tell any body around Togo. We shall wait to hear from you
so that we can give you more information about this fund and let you know

problem, we are ready to defend you in the bank as our guardian and we are
ready to supply you every information or documents the bank may need from
