Dear Friend,
I am MR..FABIAN KOMO,the Financial Controller in charge of Auditing and
Accounting section of BTCI BANK, Lome-Togo in West Africa,with due respect
and regards,I write to solicit your assistance and collaboration in
actualizing a business/ financial transaction. During an investigation and
auditing in our bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to a deceased person who died in 21st April 2006 in a plane crash.
* **
*The fund has been dormant in his account under our custody without any
claim of the fund either from his family or relation before our discovery to
this development. Our financial policy stipulates that if a current account
is not operated for more than 4 years, the proceed of that account is
confiscated and taken over by the bank.
As it may interest you to know, your contact was obtained in the Internet as
I was going through some web-pages in search of the relation of my late
customer.I was divinely and spiritually motivated to contact you prior to
his death. The amount is large, accepted, but I have the feeling that you
can conveniently handle it without any problem.*
**
*The said amount was USD$4.5 million (Four million,Five hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) My late customer died (without a will)
leaving no authority to a next of KIN, thereby making his fund valuable to
claim by any person with a documentary evidence or proof as the next of KIN.
Personally, I kept this information after the discovery secret between
myself. I also smartly audited the account to smooth my purpose for a future
plan. This plan is now suitable for execution as I have done all the spade
work against future findings.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement and necessary approvals to put claim
over this fund as the bona-fide next of kin to the deceased, has been gotten
and put in place. My immediate requirement is to have a willing and
cooperative foreign partner who will stand as the next of kin and this money
will be transferred into his/her account. Directives and needed documents or
information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and
willingness to assist me in actualizing this great plan. This is a golden
opportunity to benefit yourself and indirectly make our living in this world
worth the while.
It may interest you to know that at the conclusion of this business, you
will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as compensation, while 60% will be
held on trust for me.I personally will be monitoring the transaction and
situation here in the bank until you confirm the eventual transfer of the
money in your account. Other information will be sent to you when I hear
from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish
in this deal. *

*My Regards,
*
*MR.FABIAN KOMO.*
