LOME- TOGO .
Dear
Firstly,I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. I know that
a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprenhensive,but be
assured that at the end all concerned would smile. I decided to contact
you due to the urgency of this transaction.
In an introduction of myself, I am mr.Unerring From the northern part of
TOGO LOME working with the above bank, Married with three kids but lost
their mother some few years back. However, you may ask why this unexpected
letter which is normal. I will want to seek your assistance after my discovery
during auditing in this bank, I as the head of Auditing department discovered
an abandoned sum in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers
who died along with his entire family in 31 October,1999 in a plane crash.
Since we got this information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of Kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release
it unless somebody applies for it as next of Kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking and financial policies but unfortunately we
learnt that he did not fix any next of kin before his death occured which
was an untimely death.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and decided as the head of this
department to make this business proposal to you and release the money to
you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money
to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bills. Do not view this as been
illegal but to help people like us that have no hope in life instead of
the bank converting this much money to the security funds of the bank
because if you dont assist us the bank will lay hold on this money.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after long period, the money will be transferred into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.The total sum in question is: US$10 Million US
dollars (ten Million United States Dollars) Only . The request for a foreigner
as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and an indigene cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased
family and moreover we as bankers are not allowed by law to operate foreign
accounts. We agreed that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,
in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside
for expenses incurred during this transaction and 65 % would be for me and
my colleagues. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according
to the percentages indicated.
Note that I will be needing your coperation on investment in order to take
care of my 3 kids as their mother is no more and you can imagine what i
passing through so i beleive God has heard my cry and I hope that you will
help me to achieve this dream.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,you
must apply first to the Bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where the money will be remitted. I will not
fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% hitch free and
that you should not nurse any atom of fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the smooth transfer of this funds and your acceptance
is what will crown this effort. You should contact me immediately as soon
as you receive this letter and don't fail to detail me with your contact
numbers to enable me call you and detail you more.
We can conclude this operation within some 10 banking days based on the
amount of coperation you will contribute. Please keep this very confidential
website that confirms the deceased. The name of the deceased is Mr. John
Schelpert :
I will like to hear from you soon.
Remain blessed,
mr.Unerring
