FROM THE DESK OF Mr Mr Mr Victor Allen ,
EXECUTIVE MANAGER,BILL & EXCHANGE
SOCIETE GENERALE DE BANQUE (SGB)
LOME TOGO.
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend
I am the Executive Manager,Bill and Exchange Department at SOCIETE GENERALE DE BANQUE. There is a business I would want you to champion for me.
In my departmentn we discovered an abandoned sum of SEVEN MILLION,FIVE
HUNDERED THOUSAND(US)Dollars (US$7.5MILLION)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in
November 2000 in a plane crash in Cote D'voire.Since we got information
about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased depositor as indicated in our
BANK CODE OF RULES but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him in 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 to release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased depositor for our own use and benefit since nobody is coming for it and i don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed money.
The Banking law and guidelines 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 for a foreigner as next of kin and beneficiary in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a citizen of Togo cannot stand as next of kin to the deceased depositor and Beneficairy of the unclaimed money.
I agree that 35% of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account and the important role you are going to play to make this transaction a huge success 10% will be set aside for expenses that may be incured in the course of transfering the money into your account while 55% would be for me .
Thereafter I will visit your country for the sharing of the money between me and you according to the percentage indicated here.
Therefore to enhance the immediate transfer of the money to your account as arranged, you must apply first to our bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased depositor indicating your bank name, your bank account number,your private telephone and fax number for easy andeffective communication and location wherein the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the Text of the application which you shall recopy,type and sign and send to our bank as the supposed next of kin and beneficairy of the fund.
I will not fail to bring to your knowledge that this transaction is 100% Risk-free both now and in future besides i have already done all the underground works that will lead to the success of this transaction before contacting you.You should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the smooth transfer of the fund
Meanwhile,i will use my executive position and rank in office to ensure that the fund is approved and transfered to your account without difficulties or problems.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail.
Trusting to hear from you as soon as possible.
Yours Sincerely
Mr Victor Allen
