ATTENTION,
I AM MR DAVID MORGAN THE AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT, FOREIGN REMITTANCE
DEPT BANK Compliments of the day,In brief,My name is Mr. David Morgan.The
manager Credit and Account Department
I am writing in a respect of unclaimed deposit belonging to our customer,
Late Mr Sinclair West who died here in Lome Togo on a car accident.Since the
demise of Mr West,I personally have watched with kin interest to see any
next of kin or beneficiary to this deposit but no one has come up for the
claim of usd$14M (Fourteen million united states dollars)has being in our
bank's security vault for a very long time.
On this note,i decided to seek for your noble assistance to help me come for
the release and transfer of this fund into any of your nominated bank
account abroad,In the sense to make you the beneficiary to this unclaimed
deposit.As no one both friends and relatives has come up as the next of kin
to this deposit,our modus opprandum and our ethics here does not allow such
deposit to stay more than five years,because after five years the money will
be confiscated into the nations treasury as an unclaimed deposit.In view of
this,I got your contact in my country's trade journal after
which i was convinced to contact you and introduce this business to you as a
foreigner.
The request of a foreigner as the next of kin in this business is
occassioned by the fact that the then customer was a foreigner and a
togolaise can not stand as the next of kin to a foreigner.I have agreed to
share this money with you in the mutual understanding of 65%/35%.You keep
35% while i keep 65%, Thereafter i will visit your country for the mutual
sharing between both of us.
I will need your full names, contact address, telephone and fax numbers so
that i will slot it into our bank Data base for it to tally with what we
have in the security vault of the bank. Bear in mind also that i would like
to invest my own part of the share in your country,As i am almost due for
retirement.For us to proceed towards this transaction,you have to send an
application text to the bank as the next of kin to their deceased customer.I
will send to you an application draft which you shall re-type and send to
the bank for an official commencement of this transaction.
Upon your response to this mail.I will not fail to bring to your notice that
this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as
the whole required arrangment has been perfected for the successfull claim
and transfer of this fund. Don't forget to keep this transaction a top
confidential untill we achieve our goal.
You may contact me as a matter of fact and urgency on my private telephone +
228 917 53 22 for more informations and clarifications. Hoping to hear a
positive response from you.
Best regards,
Mr David Morgan.
