Subject: Hello helder ; PLEASE THIS IS PERSONAL !!
From; Mr.Jefferson Anikom,
Banque Internationale De L'Afrique,
Lome-Togo.
My dear friend,
I wish this very information will not come to you as a surprise. I am Mr. Jefferson Anikom, with Banque Internationale De L'Afrique with regional office in Lome-Togo. We had a foreign client (Mr.Arthur Peever) who deposited the sum of US$7.5million (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with our bank. Unfortunately,this client was among the victims of EGYPTAIR FLIGHT NO.990 that crashed on the 31-10-1999 in U.S.A. Confirmable from the website; <http://www.cbc.ca/news/indepth/facts/egyptair990.html>. But, since that year after the death of our client, we have not had anybody that comes for the claims of this money as the second next of kin to our client since his wife whom he made the next of kin was also involved in the accident and dead too. A situation I have monitored closely with my position in our bank.
Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before and after his death, and hence nobody has showed up as the second next of kin for the past years now, I have removed the file to my "private vault". I now humbly solicit for your assistance in this issue. I wish to present you as the second next of kin to this our client so as to claim out this money, before it is remmited into the fedral account where other people may aswell claim it directly without going to this lenght. I have taken every necessary precautionary measures concerning this issue and arrangement has been concluded by me in achieving this goal, provided you will follow my instructions in the process. I am only waiting for your response to enable me move the funds to your agreed safe account. This does not have any risk provided you give me your assistance and support.
I therefore request you to confirm your interest by a return message and I will furnish you with the full details and what to do concerning this deal. What you stand to gain would be discussed and it is negotiable before the deal commences.
Thank you in anticipation of your urgent response to my request stating your wish in this deal.
Kind regards,
Mr.Jefferson Anikom.
