Subject: i need your urgent assistance
Dear Friend
I am the manager of bill and exchange department African development Bank. I got your email adress while searching for trustworthy countries and individuals. I wish to seek your partnership in business because I discovered unclaim sum of $ 30million US dollars in our bank which belonged to one of our late foreign customer who died with his entire family in Paris plane crash 2000.I discovered this while cross-checking the files of foreigners in my department since our Federal Government has announced on the need of settling all foreign bills to enable foreign investors to come into our country and as an order from African Unity governed by African heads.
Since I discovered the unclaim fund and about his death,
We have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because our bank cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this businness proposal to you as to be a partner to claim the fund since nobody is coming for it and I don’t want this money to go into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after four years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is because the customer was not a togolese and a togolese cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, since you are provide an account for the claim, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business which means what ever you will spend during the transfer after it will be taken out of the 10% and 60 % would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated if agreed.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin with the informations I will give you about the account and the owner/deceased. therefore thereafter will provide your bank name, your bank account number,your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted you will include all these in the application addressed to our remittance director to the address of I will give you later. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you the pattern of the application you will copy and re-send to our remittance director for the claim.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer and the file of the fund is under my desk.
Your’s faithfully,
Mr. Kenneth Elemuo
