Subject: I CARE FOR YOU
Dear Sir,
I am Mr.Kojo William personal assistant to late Mr. President Eyadema
of Togo who died on 5th Feb., 2005. My boss Mr. President trusted the sum
of $15m to me that I should go and lodge the money in account in France
with any Bank of my choice there. Before I could make an arrangement for the
deposit of the fund, what i heard is that the President has dropped
dead. I quickly moved out the fund to a country called Madrid Spain and
lodge
the money in a security company there since there is nobody who knows any
thing about the Money. Now that this fund has been secure in a security
company,what i want is an honest individual not company who i will
trust to go and claim this fund on my behalf and hold it untill things
become
normal in my Country again and then i will come over there in your own
country
for the sharing of the Money as agreed by me and the person on percentage
ground.50% for us,40% for you and 10% will be set aside to cover
expences made by both parties.
Please if you are interested to help me please get back to me through
this
email: (kojowilliam@email.ro) immediately you receive this mail.
Sincerely Yours
Kojo William
Former P.A. to Late President Eyedama of Togo Rep.
