DR.JOHN ALASON.
AUDITING DEPT.
PRUDENT BANK LOME-TOGO
WEST-AFRICA.
Hi,
I am DR.JOHN ALASON., the director in charge of auditing and accounting Unit of Prudent Bank of Africa Lome-Togo 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 costomer of this our bank who On the 11th of sept. 2003, my client ,his wife and their only daugther unfortunately lost there lives in a car accident on their way to lome-togo international air-port and since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy here to locate any of my client extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. And the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
It has come to be very necessary I educate you a bit on the next of kinship as attinable in the banking policy and globally at large. You see,next of kinship is not limited to relations of
the deceased,nor is it confided to the circuit of parental relationship,rather it is by choice of the benefactor as regards to whom he wish to will it to(beneficiary) either normally by written up,or
informally by secret Information disclosure to beneficiary be him/her business partner,relation,
kinsmen,or friends or well wishers.Therefore by virtue of the above stated,you can claim to be the next of kin of the deceased.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was us$17.5M (SEVENTEEN Million FIVE HUNDRED United States Dollars). .
Meanwhile all the 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 foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be released to you as soon as you indicate your interest 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 because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign 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 party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust 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 the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money
will be remitted from to your own designated bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.On smooth conclusion of this
transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 65% will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been adviced to keep top 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,and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other necessary information will be send to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your interest in this deal.
Best Regards,
DR.JOHN ALASON.
