Subject: Your Honest Assistance
Perhaps, This may be reaching you unexpectedly, i thought it personally before concluding to reach you at this moment.How are you today ?and work? hope fine.My name is Abduraham Kokoh, the son of late Brigadier -General Gamutu Kokoh.My home town is situated in LOME the capital of TOGO here in Africa.I came from a polygamous family,my father is from Togo while my mother was a Nigerian.
My father, a wealthy retired Army officer Brigadier -General Gamutu Kokoh served under the Government of late president Nyasingbe Eyadema.My father married two wives due to the inability of the first wife to give him a male child.The first wife (my step mother) had six children all girls, while my mother the second wife had only a son which is me, Abduraham. In my country here in Togo, a male child is highly recognised than female because it was obvious that the female will marry and go to her husband's house, while the male takes care of his father's house and assets when his father died. Any man without a male child, his linage will definitely close.
My arrival into the family brought joy and laughter to my father who has been praying for a male child for years.My mother died after delivering me,and all accusing fingers were pointed at my step mother for having killed my mother through diabolical means all attributed to envy and jealousy, because she has no male child.
I was brought up by a special Nanny employed by my wealthy father to take care of me.As the only son, i enjoyed so much love and tremendous wealth of my father.Unfortunately,my lovely and caring father fell into assasine's bullet on march 2005 by his political opponents.Before his untimely death, he deposited a box containing the sum of 12 million three hundred thousand united state dollars(12 . 3 million dollars)in a security company namely: Magnum Financial Trust Security Company(MFTSC) here in Lome Togo on my name,obviously for my future upkeep.
After his death,the present Government of Eyadema who succeded his late father confiscated all my dad's assets and houses because they believed he acquired those wealth through the Government's pocket.The only thing left for me now is that box containing 12 . 3 million dollars secretely deposited on my name at the security company by my father which no body knows about.
The situation now is your kind assistance to help me recieve this money in your account.All you need do is to forward your account number were the money will be received,also your phone number,and fax.As soon as this money is confirmed credited into your designated account through my perfected plans, i will come over to your country for potential business venture as i am planning to invest part of the money into real estate business.Further more, 20% of this money will be yours, 70% will be mine, while 10% will be set aside for expenses incured during the transaction.
If you are interested in this transaction and sure that you cannot betray me in this regard, contact me via my email.And please, the earlier the better.
thanks.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr Abduraham Kokoh
