Attn:,MY dear
With due respect, i wish this letter will not come to you as a
surprise. I am MR JAMES KWAMIthe auditing director of Ecowas Bank For
Investment and Development,lome Togo Office.
We had a foreign customer(name Mr Harrison Thompson)who deposited a
huge sum of money(US$31.5million United States dollars)with our bank.
Eventually, this customer was among the victims of EGYPT AIR BOEING 767
FLIGHT NO 990 that crashed on the 31-10-1999,since then we have not had
anybody coming for this claims as the next of kin. And i have been
monitoring this account with my position here in the bank for the past two
years.
I was monitoring this account/funds and managed it over the years
before his death and from the information that i have garderd he died along
side with the wife and a surposed next of kin which is their only son
hence nobody has showed up as the next of kin for the past two year plus
now I have removed security file jacket to my private vault.
I now solicit for your assistance to present you as the next of kin as
every other arrangement has been concluded by me and I am only waiting
for a foreigner to enable me move the fund to his/her account This does
not have any risk attached to it as all his secret information that
will be required from you by the bank is with me right now over here I
therefore request you to confirm your interest by a return message and I
will furnish you with details on how to proceed to the bank.
Your interest will be negotiable before we commence the operation.
I look forward to hear from you so as to enable us forge ahead and work
like brothers to achieve this mutual benefit.
Kind Regards.
