Dear friend,
I am Mr.Koffi Danjima, one of the senior managers in charge of Auditing
and Accounting section of Union Togolaise de Banque(U.T.B) Togo West Africa
and also the head of Auditing and Account's unit of the Bank.
In due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction
that will be profitable and as well beneficial to the both of us and our
families also.
STATUS & NATURE OF TRANSACTION:
During our annual investigation and auditing in this Bank where I am currently
working as the head of the Account's section, my department found out that
a huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer of this bank, Late
Mr.Morris Thompson,of Fairbanks-Alaska-America, who died on January 31st
2000 in a tragic Alaska Airlines Flight 261.(http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/)
More details about the deceased himself,you can check on
(http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html).
As the funds has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any
claim/claims of the funds in our custody either from his family or relation
because he did not indicate/state any next of kin or beneficiary to this
account to be entrusted this funds to in any case of death such as this.
Although personally, I kept this information secret and confidential within
myself and partners involved to enable the whole plans and ideas profitable
and successful during the time of execution.
The said amount involved is U.S $14.1m (Fourteen million one hundred thousand
United States dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your information
and contact through my personal basic research for a foreign account holder,
who will be required to tender an application request to the bank here for
the transfer and disbursement of these funds to a reliable and safe account
overseas as the bonafide next-of-kin to the deceased customer in due trust
and honesty.
All necessary documentations and papers to perfect this deal and have these
funds transfered overseas will be carefully worked out once we commence.
I need your full utmost assistance and co-operation to get this deal accomplished
because as a foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through
documented proofs as the next of kin/partner to the deceased customer, hence
the deceased is also a foreigner, this is the reason why I could not do
this deal all alone and moreover as civil servants here, we are not allowed
to operate any form of foreign account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free and
on smooth conclusion of transaction, you will be entitled to a 25% of the
total funds as gratification for your assistance in helping clear the funds
overseas, while a total of 5% will be set aside to take care of any expenses
that may likely come up during the time of transfer such as tel.bills,fax
messages e.t.c. The sum total of 70% will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been advised to keep this transaction a "top secret" as
we are still in active service and intend to resign honourably from the
services of the bank as soon as we conclude this deal with you.I am equally
assuring you that this transaction will not last more than a minimum of
13 working days to a maximum of 22 bank working days and you confirm the
money in your account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm
the money in your account. As soon as this money hits your account, then
I will come to your country overseas for sharing of funds according to percentages
previously indicated and for further investments either in your country
or any other country of choice.
All other necessary information will be sent to you as soon as I hear from
you. Kindly get back to me as soon as possible if you are interested and
ready to help conclude this deal.
I am expecting your urgent response as soon as you receive my message. Kindly
send any message through my alternative email addresses below for security
measures thus;(koffi_danjima@accountant.com)
