=A0
ATTN/ SIR
=A0
COMPLIMENT OF THE SEASON.
=A0
PLEASE YOUR URGENT REPLY TO THIS LETTER IS HIGHLY NEEDED.=20
=A0
With due respect and humanity, I write to you this Business Proposal that w=
ill bevery beneficial to both of us at the end. I am STEVEN BROWN,the Direc=
tor General of AUDITING & ACCOUNTING SECTION in the Foreign Remittance Depa=
rtment of COMMERCE BANK, www.ecobank.com, in Togolaise Republic.=20
=A0
Following the impressive information about you which I got from Internet We=
b when I was searching for a reliable person with good profiles to assist m=
e for this life business opportunity, i am also writing.
=A0
As you may like to know, During our investigation and Auditing in this Bank=
, my Department came across a very huge Sums of MONEY belonging to a deceas=
ed person who died on November 1999 in a plane crash and the MONEY has been=
dormant in His account with our Bank without any claim of the Funds in our=
custody either from his Family or His relation before our discovery to thi=
s development.=20
=A0
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of =
kin to come forward and claim his money because my Bank cannot release it u=
nless somebody applies for it as NEXT OF KIN or RELATION to the deceased as=
indicated in (our banking guidelines) and policies, but unfortunately; I l=
earnt that all his supposed (Next of Kin) or Relation are among the plane c=
rash in that 1999, hence nobody remains for the Property.
=A0
It is therefore upon this discovery, I now decided to Make this business pr=
oposal to you, in order to check if you can work with me, so that we can re=
ceive the funds as the (next of kin or relation) to the deceased for safety=
and subsequent disbursement between both of us since nobody is coming fort=
h for the Funds and I do not want this Money to go into the (Bank treasury)=
as unclaimed Bill.=20
=A0
According to our Banking policies and guideline Here,it stipulates that if =
such money remained Unclaimed after Eight years, the money will Automatical=
ly be transferred into the Bank treasury as Unclaimed fund.
=A0
The said amount was (US$28.5 Million),(TWENTY EIGHT MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED T=
HOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).=20
=A0
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this Funds as well as=
Transfering it to any of your choiced Foreign Bank by you as the bonafide =
Next of Kin/ relation to the deceased, get the required Approval for the Tr=
ansfer has been put in place by me and directives and needed information wi=
ll be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness =
to assist Me and also benefit your self to the great business opportunity.=
=20
=A0
Infact, I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in thi=
s Country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate aforeign accoun=
t and would eventually raise an eyebrows on my side during thetime of trans=
fer because I work in this bank.=20
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who =
will forward claims as the Next of Kin with affidavit of trust of oath to t=
he Bank and also present a Foreign Account where he will need the money to =
be transferred into.
=A0
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On s=
mooth conclusion of this transaction, I am ready to give you 30% out of thi=
s money upon receipt of the total monies into your Account in respect to th=
e provision of a (foreign account), 5% out of the Money will be share 50-50=
after removing any expenses incurred by you or by me during the curse of t=
he transaction while 65% will be for me.
=A0
Please, you have been advised to keep top secret as I am still in service a=
nd intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you. I wil=
l be monitoring the whole situation here in the Bank until you confirm the =
money in your Account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequen=
t sharing of the Funds according to above mapped percentage, and further in=
vestment; either in your country or any country you advice me to invest in.=
=20
=A0
All other necessary information of this business will be sent to you when I=
hear from you.=20

sh in this deal.=20
