Subject: Urgent Responds Needed.
From Mr.Eddu Koffi Emmanuel.
Eco Bank Plc..
Lome-Togo.
Dear Friend,
I REQUEST FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN TRANSACTION
I am the manager at the auditing and accounting department
of International Bank Of Africa. Lome-Togo.. In my department
we discovered an abandoned sum of US$15.5m dollars ( US
dollars) in an account that belonging to one of our foreign
customer.Who died along with his entire family in Monday,
31 July, 2000 in a plane crash.
Please visit this site that is one of the evidence the directors brought in
other to swallow the money at the end of the day,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm"
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 some body applies for it as next
of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and
laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next
of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane
crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this
business proposal to you and release the money to you as
the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go
into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law
and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after fours years, the money will be transfered
into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that
30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the
provision of a foriegn account ,10% will be set aside for
expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me.
Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable
the immediate transfer of this fund to your desiggnited
bank account ,you must apply first to the bank as a
relation or next of kin of the deceased with a text of
application that i will send to you,so i will
like you to send to me your private telephone and fax
number for easy and effective 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 . I will not fail to
bring to your notice this transaction
is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the
transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you
receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Dear p/s reply this emai thanks
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Eddu Koffi Emmanuel.
