Subject: GET BACK TO ME
ATTN. DIRECTOR
I am Anton Letonja director in charge of auditing and
accounting section of NATIONAL BANK 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 auditing in
this bank department came across a very huge sum of
money belonging to a deceased person who died on
November 1999 in a plane crach and the claim of the
fund has been dormant in his account with this bank
without any claim of fund in our custody either from
of relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I kept this information secret
within myself and partner to enable the whole plans
and idear be profitable and successul during the time
of execution. The said amount is USD$ 15m (fifteen
million united states dollars), Meanwhile all the
whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
banafide next to kin to the deceased, get the rewuired
approval and transfer this money to a fireign has been
put place and directives and needed information will
be relayed to you as you indicate your interest and
willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself to
this great business opportunity. In fact I could have
done this countrary a civil servant, we are not
allowed to operate a foreign account and would
eventually raise an eye broen on my side the time of
transfer because I work in the bank. This is the
actual reason why it will require a second party or
fellow who will forward claim as the next of kin with
affidavit 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 designation bank
account. I will not fail to inform you that this
transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of
this transaction total, you willbe entitled to 30% of
the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be
aside to take care of expenses that my arise during
the time of transfer and also telepone bills, while
60% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have
advised to keep top secret as we are still in service
and intend to retire from service after we conclude
this deal with you. You will be monitoring the whole
situation here in this bank until you confirm the
money in your account. And ask us to come to your
country for subsequent sharing of the fund according
to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any necessary
information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I suggest your get back me as soon as possible stating
you wish in this deal, contact me through e-mail
address antonletonja@yahoo.com
Mr ANTON LETONJA.
