Subject: very urgent !!!!!!!!!!!!
FROM:MR.BREN AKIN.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT. FOREIGN OPERATIONS
DEPARTMENT.
BANQUE TOGOLAISE POUR LE COMMERCE ET L'INDUSTRIE,
LOME-TOGO.
Dear Friend,
I, Mr.Bren Akin..the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Banque Togolaise Pour Le Commerce Et L'Industrie Lome-Togo in
West Africa, with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you
on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at
the end of the transaction .During our investigation and auditing in
this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging
to a deceased person who died on November 1st 1999 in a plane crash and
the fund has been dorman t in his account with this Bank without any
claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation
before our discovery to this development.Although personally, I keep this
information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans
and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The
said amount was (U.S $12.5M UNITED STATES DOLLARS).
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and
directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your
self to this great business opportunity. Infact, I could have done this
deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil
servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would
eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer
because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow
who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of
oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need
the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after
due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the
bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation
bank account. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100%
risk free.
You will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while
10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the
time of transfer , while 60% will be for me. Please, you have been
adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire
from service after I conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring
the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in
your account, and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and
further investment, either in your country or any country you advice me to
invest in. All other neces sary vital information will be sent to you
when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible
stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Bren Akin...
