Subject: In Good Faith I Contacted You.
Dear Beloved,
In Good Faith I Contacted You.
I have seen war and I have seen peace, I have seen riches and I have seen people die of hunger on daily bases. And I am quite certain that life is vanity.

The Russian partners returned my husbands share of US$55 Million after his death and lodged it with my husband 's security Firm in Togo which I am the Director. Right now the new Civilian Government who is the Son of the first wife has revoked our licenses that allow us to own, have or manage any investment in our Country Togo due to the disparity between me and the first wife of the late president and also the mother of incumbent President. In view of this, I acted very fast to withdraw the US$55 Million from the security company's vault well packaged in trunk boxes and deposited it in a privately erected security safe. I have since declared the Security Company bankrupt and re-locate the money to another security company in nearby country Ghana. No record ever existed concerning the money neither the money traceable by the Government nor any document showing that we received the money from Russian partner.
I seek your assistance to move the money out of from Ghana to your country.I am presently taken my asylum in Ghana until the tranfer of the money to your account is over.
On your rply, I shall expect you to contact me urgently to enable us discuss in details about this transaction. Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to transfer this fund, I propose a commission of 30% (Thirty Percent) of the total sum to you for the expected services and assistance.

Your will be required firstly to correspond with our family lawyer, on Tel:00233 244 06 26 05 before communicating with me, this is totally for security reasons because people and family relatives has try in the pass to rip me off.
