Dear friend,
I am MR. MUSA MALAK, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of international bank of Africa Lome-Togo in west Africa with due respect and regards.
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 audting in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on November1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormantin his account with this bank without any claim ofthe fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I kept this information secret with in my self and partner to enable the whole plansand idea be pofitable and successful during the time of execution.The said amount was USD$6.5m (SIX MILLIONFIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).As it may intrest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friend who works with chamber of commerce on foriegn business relations here in Lome-Togo.
It is him who recommended your person tome to be viable and capable to champion a business ofsuch magnitude with out any problem. Mean while 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 foriegn accounthas been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your intrest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but becauseof my position in this country as a civil servant, weare not allowed to operate a foriegn 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 partyor fellow who will forward claims as the next of kinwith affidavit of trust of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transactionis 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitiled to 30% of the total sum as your share, 10% will be set aside to take careof expenses that may arise during the time of transfer including telephone bills, while 60% will be for meand my partners. Please you are adviced to keep this business secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account, then we shall come down to your country forsharing of the fund according to percentages indicated above as well as discussing with you for the investment of the bulk of our shares either in your country or which ever country you peceive investment friendly and profitability.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me assoon as possible stating your opinion in this deal. :prince_musa@mail15.com
