My name is Miss. Jessica Aneh Attipoe. I am 22 years and a citizen of Repub=
lic of Togo. I am the only daughter of my late parents, Mr. Richard Attipoe=
(Former Minister of Sports in Togo) who died after helicopter crash at Fre=
etown International airport on June 3rd, 2007. This website below carried t=
he news about my father's death and more information about him. http://www.=
republicoftogo.com/central.php?o=3D5&s=3D51&d=3D3&i=3D685 . My mother died =

I firstly need to tell you too also that my father brothers who works for P=
aramount Airlines which helicopter had the crash also has a hand in his dea=
th though with no proof i cannot do anything. My father's brothers have sto=
pped my school this year just because I am a woman. My father's family has =
seized all my father's assets just because he has no son. Here in LOME, REP=
UBLIC OF TOGO, if a man dies without a son, it doesn't matter how many daug=
hters he has, my fathers family members are always in trouble even now that=
his wife is alive. I ran to the Northern part of the country when I sensed=
that they have known that I have the deposition receipt of $4, 700,000 Fou=
r Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States dollars belonging to my late=
father which he deposited in a bank in Ghana. In the deposit certificate, =
my name appeared as the next of kin. Their pressure was too much for me to =
bear and if I do not run away from them they will kill me and take
away the certificate.=20

Based on my father's advice, when he was alive concerning his brothers, I a=
m afraid of everyone here including all our family people. To them, I have =
no right even to know what is going on in my father's house. It is a painfu=
l situation for me. I need your help to transfer this money to your account=
and get out of here as quickly as possible, through the coordination of my=
late father's personal attorney who is in position of the certificate of t=
he deposit now. You can reach my Father's lawyer on his direct telephone nu=
