Subject: URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP !
FROM,MR.M C.GEGE
INTERNATIONAL REMIT.DEPT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPEMENT BANK,
HEADQUATERS LOME TOGO,
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
My name is MR M C.GEGE,i am the director in charge of INTERNATIONAL REMIT.DEPT. of AFRICAN DEVELOPEMENT BANK HEADQUATERS 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,my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer of this bank(Hakim Mohamed Nabawia) who died in the plane crash of 31 october 1999 [withegyptian airline 990] with other
passengers aboard .
Since the demise of mr Hakim Mohamed Nabawia,i personally have watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his funds of (USD 8,500,00.00), [eight million five hundred thousand united states dollars] this money has been with our bank here for a very long time. on this note i decided to seek for a foreigner whose name shall be used as the next of kin, since nobody has come up to put claim as the next of kin to the deceased to claim this funds and the banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay more than seven years, because after seven years
the money will be forfeited to the banks treasury account as unclaimed deposit.
In view of this, i got your contact from the internet after i made up my mind to look for a forigner who shall forward an application as the next of kin so that i will use my authority in this bank to get all the required transfer approval and transfer the money to the account that you will state in you application.
The need of a foreigner as a next of kin in this business is because of the fact that the
customer was a foreigner and a TOGOLEESE here can not stand as the next of kin to a foreigner. I agree to offer you 30% of this money for providing an account where this money will be transfered abroad and for your input/efforts while 5% will take care of any expenses that might arise in the process of the transfer and the rest will be for me. thereafter i will visit your country for sharing according to percentages stated above as i am almost
due for retirement.
For the immediate transfer of this fundS to your account, you have to apply first to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased stating the account details where you would like the money to be transfered to and also instructing the bank totransfer the said money.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is risky free and that you should not
entertain any fear as the whole required arrangement has been perfected for the transfer.
On hearing from you i will give you the banks contact where you would forward the application of claim and i will also direct you on how to write the application.
Hoping to hear from you.
Best regards,
MR M C.GEGE.
