Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Notification?=
Good day,
I am Dr.Jeff Munoz, a member of staff in a Corporate Securities firm in
London, England. We keep valuables for high net worth individuals, blue
chip corporations and diplomatic organisations.
I am contacting you in regards to our client, the Late President Gnassingbe
Eyadema of Togo, who died on the 5th of February, 2005. This client has
a total deposit of Thirty Two Million United States Dollars in our vaults.
After the 9/11 incidents, our company policy do not permit cash deposit,
so he confided in me as the foreign operations officer to make this deposit
since June 2003.
The last communication I had with him was on the 25th of November 2004,
where he was making arrangements to claim the deposit. Thereafter it was
revealed that he died of heart attack in his hometown in Togo. After the
acknowledgement of his death, it became apparent that there was no claim
to his funds since he listed no next of kin in his bio-data form. He made
the deposit under the name of Guardian Trust investment (GTI) and disclosed
the content as company valuables and Antiques. This was for confidentiality
and to reduce taxes.
If no claim is made within six months, the company under its storage terms
and conditions will legally auction the content of the deposit. If discovered
that the content is cash, it will be confiscated and I would be penalised,
since I accepted the cash deposit against the company?s regulations. As
a senior staff, it is impossible for me to have access to the funds or claim
it myself. More so, such valuable deposits are kept at a different branch,
where we have our terminal facilities.
Consequently, it is important that I find a credible candidate to play the
role of a Trustee or representative to Guardian Trust Investment to help
claim the deposit. It is on this ground
that I need your assistance to claim the funds which will be possible with
the information I hold. Once this is achieved, you shall be entitled to
50% of the total funds while I shall retain the balance 50%.
I am aware of the risks involved in this proposal, therefore I ask that
you consider the factors above and keep it strictly confidential. However,
if you feel you are unable to fulfil this role, I request you discard of
this letter. you can also contact me on my alternate email address jeffmunoz2@yahoo.fr
I look forward to hearing form you.
Thank you.
Dr. Jeff Munoz
