FROM: MR PELVIN TITO.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
DIAMOND BANK. LOME - TOGO.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am MR PELVIN TITO the Director in-charge of auditing and accounting
section of DIAMOND BANK OF LOME - TOGO.in West Africa with due
respect and regards.I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction.
During our investigation and audting in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who
died on August 1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in
his account with this bank without any claim of the fund in our custody
either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and my
partner to enable the whole plans and idea be pofitable and successful
during the time of execution.The said amount was USD$25m (twenty five
million United States Dollars).I am glad to say that with the introduction of
internet, I was opportuned and pleasured to have come across your
contact through this satellite media.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and
transfer this money to a foriegn account has been put in place and
directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your
self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foriegn
account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the
time of transfer because I am still working in this bank. 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 this bank and also
present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be
retransfered into on his request as it may be after due verification and
clarification by designation bank account. I will not fail to inform you that
this transaction is 100% risk free.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitiled to 30% of
the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer both local and
international like telephone bills,e-mail bills include the documents fees,
while 60% will be for me and my partner.
Please,you are adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service and
intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be
monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the
money in your account.And ask us to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country
you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary 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.
However, I wish you give me your phone number where I will call you for
more detailed information. Meanwhile, I will be sending to you my family
picture for you to have a look of the people you are about to deal with.
Yours faithfully,
MR PELVIN TITO.
