From: Theresa Steve Mbah <theresas00@yahoo.ca>
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2006 14:56:50 -0400 (EDT)
Subject: Assist
Dearest,
First and foremost and brief self introduction, I am Theresa Steve Mbah,21years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr and Mrs. Steve Mbah Ralf.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on12th Feb. 2003. Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who traveled with him at that time,but God knows the truth.
However my mother died when I was just 6years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death on February 12 2003 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he had a sum of $6.5 million US DOLLARS (SIX MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND USA DOLLARS) with INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA (I.B.A) here in Lome Togo.
He also said that he deposited the money as the family wealth and used my name to Deposit the money as his first Daugherty for next of kin. He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates. That I should seek for a foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money to and use it for investment purposes.
I want you to assist me in clearing this fund into your account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund, and also use it for an investment purpose. I am just 21 years old and high school certificate holder, really don't know what to do. Now I want an account overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant crisis here in Lome Togo. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.
Dearest one, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded, so that I will know I'm going to come over to your country since the bank made me to understand that they can be able to made the transfer to any country of my choice.
Now permit me to ask these few questions as follows:-
1. Can you honestly help me as your Sister?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money is in your account?
Please, Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible through these email: theresa21@voila.fr
Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,
Theresa Steve Mbah.
