Dear Sir,
I am Mr Avis Ugomba Director of bills/exchange at the foreign remittance
department of North Atlantic Security Compay Sarl here in Togo. In my department,
I discovered an abandoned sum of $30.5m (Thirty Million, Five Hundred Thousand
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 a ghastly plane crash. Since we got the information about his death,
I have been expecting his next-of-kin to come over and file a claim as next
of kin over his money because we can not release it unless somebody applied
for it as next 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 forward 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.
