From:Abba Johnson
Rue 25 Panini BP 8579 Lome Togo.
Dear Friend,
Good day to you,please forgive my indignation for contacting you via this
media. But I have no option but to write you this mail. I know that my
letter may seem strange, but I pray God that you give it a fair hearing and
render your help.
My name is Abba Johnson,I just graduated from the Cavalry school of Theology
where I went for my Pastoral Training. I’m in a kind of situation here and I
need your help. My father was one of the generals who ruled with the late
president for 38 years of active service, and also my father was a business
man who happens to own some filling Stations in Togo. My father died in may
2005 in a bomb blast/explosion during the crisis after the death of the
president.
Please view this crisis site:

I am the only surviving heir to my father and sometime before the accident
occurred he deposited a huge sum of money in my account worth $16million US
dollars. My immediate problem right now is that of safety of my life,
because of my Stepmother. My stepmother did not have any issue for my dad,
and right now she has collected all of my father's property including the
filling stations that he left for me because she was the Manager before he
died. She recently found out of the money my father lodge in my name in
trust for me and right now she want's me dead so she can have the money
also.
This is the reason I’m writing you to help me to secure a foreign account
where i can lodge this money without delay. My training in Bible school has
made me to understand that all things worked together for good to those who
love God and are called according to his purpose. I guarantee that this will
be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.
On your reply indicate your telephone and fax numbers for oral discussion.
If you will do it for me 30% of this fund will yours, as I will be coming
over to your country as soon as this money get into your account, I want to
come to your country to invest my money and your advise as regards
investment plan is needed. After your reply I will send the deposited
Certificate which my late father used to deposited this fund with the Bank.
I will also send an attached copy my international passport as soon as you
reply me.
God Bless you and your family.
Regards.
Abba Johnson.
