Desk Of Mr John George
Manager North Atlantic
Securities Sarl Lome Togo.
Dear Friend,
With good faith i have come to you about this Legitimate Business of
mine, but i must first introduce to you myself.
I am Mr. John George.The manager Credit and Account Department of North
Atlantic Securities Sarl Lome Togo.
I am writing in a respect of unclaimed deposit belonging to a foreigner,
Late mr Arthur Smith of America with account # Nas/1001/44986-00/tg.Who
perished on the plan crash of 31tst october,1999 with egpytian airline 990
with other passengers aboard. Since the demise of Smith, I personally have
watched with kin interest to see any next of kin or beneficiary to this
deposit but no one has come up for the claim of usd$14.5m(fourteen milion,five
hundred thousand united states dollars)has being in our security vault for
a very long time.On this note, i decided to seek for your noble assistance
to help me come for the release and transfer of this fund into any of your
nominated bank account abroad, In the sense to make you the beneficiary
to this unclaimed deposit.As no one both friends and relatives has come
up as the next of kin to this deposit and our banking ethics here does not
allow such deposit to stay more than five years, because after five years
the money will be confiscated into the nations treasury as an unclaimed
deposit.
In view of this, I got your contact in my country's trade journal after
which i was convinced to contact you and introduce this business with you
as a foreigner.The request of the foreigner as a next of kin in this business
is occassioned by the fact that then customer was a foreigner and a togolaise
can not stand as the next of kin to a foreigner.I have agreed to share this
money with you in the mutual understanding of 65%/35%.You keep 35% while
i keep 65%,How about that???? Thereafter i will visit your country for
mutual sharing between both of us.Bear in mind also that i would like to
invest my own part of the share in your country. As i am almost due for
retirement. For us to proceed towards this transaction,you have to send
an application text to the security company as the next of kin to their
deceased customer.
I will send to you a text of application which you shall re-type and send
to the finance house, Upon your response to this mail.I will jnot fail to
bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should
not entertain any fear as the whole required arrangment has been perfected
for the successfull claim and transfer of this fund. Don't forget to keep
this transaction a top confidential untill we achieve our goal.
Waiting for your positive response .
Best Regards,
Mr. John George.
