Subject: RE: TRANSACTION
3145 BOULEVARD SIO
LOME-TOGO.
Hello Friend,
My name is Alhaji mustapha Lassisi, I am the operational manager in account
management section incharge of credit and foreign bills of one of the
prime banks here in Lomé-TOGO. I am writing in respect of a
foreign customer of my bank who perished with his whole family on
25TH JULY,2000 in CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [Flight AF4590] with the whole
passengers aboard.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by this great late
INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral 'WILL' attached to
the account. Since his death, I personally has watched with keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one
has come to claim his funds and no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning it, the account has no other
beneficiary and until his death he was the general manager of his company.
The total amount involved is 36,000,000.00 USD.Thirty sixteen Million United
States Dollar]. We wish to start the first transfer with
$16,000,000.00[Sixteen million]
and upon successful transaction without any disappointment from your side,
we shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the general manager of the
bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful
transfer of the fund to any foreign bank account which you are going
to nominate. On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner
who will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased
by providing his/her bank account where the fund will be transferred
for immediate investment on any viable project as no one has come up
to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than
eight years without claim hence the money will be re-called to the
government treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
In view of this I got your contact through my personal search to see
if you can assist by providing your safe bank account for the
transfer or find a reliable person who will be capable of receiving
such amount in his or her personal account.
At the conclussion of the transfer 50% of the fund will be for me, I
will give you 30% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity both in
Africa and in your country while the remaining 10% will be set aside
to settle expenses both parties might incure during the transfer
process.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed
information about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your
notice that this business is 100% risk and trouble free and that you
should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can
be finalized within 7 to 9 banking days, after you apply to the bank
as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail.
You should also include your private fax and phone
numbers for easy and safe communication.
Yours,
Alhaji Mustapha Lassisi
