Dear friend,
Mutual Business Relationship
With due honor and respect, I introduce myself to you for a better relationship. I am Mr,Johnny T.Koffi the Director in charge of Audit/Accounts unit, Foreign Remittance Department of Union Togolaise De Banque(UTB)I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1999,a major contractor with ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS)made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months. Valued at USD$10.5m dollar(Ten million,five hundred thousand US Dollars)
Since we got information about his death discovered from his contract employers with ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS) here in Lome-Togo,that he lost his life in the plane crash in the October,1999 with Egyptian Air Line. On further investigation,I found out that he died without making his "WILL", and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
I have been monitoring this account since I discovered this information,In this case I have concluded to contact you if you are reliable to execute this transaction with me,then I will instruct you on how to claim as the next of kin to the deceased customer,so that the funds could be transfer to your overseas A/C,if only you can co-operate with me and not to betray me at the end.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a togoliase cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that35% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% will be for me and my collegues. There after I and my collegues will visit your country for disbursment according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore,to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arrange,you must apply first to the bank as relation or next or kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account,your private telephone and fax number for easy and ffective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply,I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application you will use to apply to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased customer.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hicth-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
Therefore, be kind to clarify the following for my consideration:
1. What other lucrative investments would you suggest as I intend banking, real estate and hotels if they are good business venture in your Country?.
2. Can you be able to make residential documents and purchase a house for me and my family to relocate and settle in your country?.
Looking forward to your anticipated urgent response.
Best regards,
Mr.Johnny T.Koffi.
