Dear Sir,
I am Mr Avis Ugomba Director of bills/exchange at the foreign remittance
department of North Atlantic SecurityCompay Sarl here in Togo. In my department,
I discovered an abandoned sum of $30.5m (Thirty Million, Five HundredThousand
United State Dollars only) in an account that belonged to one Late MR LEVY
SHIMONY an American, who died along with his entire family, on 31th October
1999, in aghastly plane crash. Since we got the information about his death,
I have been expecting his next-of-kin to come overand file a claim as next
of kin over his money because we can not release it unless somebody applied
for it as nex of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our Security
guidelines.
Unfortunately, nobody has come forward to claim this money.It is based on
this I decided to establish a cordial business relationship with you, hence
by contacting you.I want you to present yourself as the next of kin to Late
MR LEVY SHIMONY, so that the funds can be remitted into your account. Moreover,i
do not want the money to go into the government account as unclaimed bills.
The Security law and guidelines here stipulates that any account abandoned
or is dormant for a
period of years, is deemed closed and all money contained therein forfeited
to the government
treasury account.
Now, it is being speculated that the above sum will be transferred into
the government account as an unclaimed fund on or before the end of this
financial quarter of 2004, when nobody come orward to lay claims. The reason
for requesting your assistance, is occasioned by, the fact that the deceased
(Late MR LEVY SHIMONY) was a foreigner, and I have access to his detailed
bio data which you will hold as a weapon to present yourself as the next
of kin to Late Mr Levy Shimony.
The mode of sharing after a successful transfer of the money into your account,
shall be 60% to me and for the role you will be expected to play in this
deal,I have agreed to give you 35% of the total sum and 5% for the expenses
we are going to encounter by the two parties in the course of this transaction.
Therefore,you are expected to reply this letter indicating your readiness
and interest to participate in this business. After receiving your reply,
you will be communicated to with
the exact steps to take. I expect your urgent response and I shall contact
you for further discussion on this matter,to enable us conclude this transaction
urgently without any delay or hitch. Please treat this business proposal
as strictly confidential for security reasons considering my
official position in North Atlantic Security.
Personal Regards,
Mr. Avis Ugomba.
