URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear :
You should please contact me immediately as soon as you read this message
through my private email address:davimensah14@yahoo.ca
Briefly I am Mr.David Mensah. the manager Bill and exchange of the
foreign remittance department of BANQUE TOGOLAISE DE DEVELEOPPEMENT.
In my departement, I discovered an over invoice sum of $12 million US
dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer, who died
along with his entire family on november 1999 in a plane crash. Since I got
informations about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come
over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody
applies for it as his next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guide lines and laws.
But unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died
along side with him in
the plane crash, leaving nobody behind for the claim, it is therefore upon
this discovery that I now, wish 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 this disbusement since nobody is comming for it and I
do not want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed.
The bank law and guide line here stipulated that if such money remained
unclaimed after four years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request for foreigner as next of kin in this business is accasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indigene cannot stand as
next of kin to this family I therefore wish to contact you and seek for your
assistance, to help me claim this money from the bank and transfer it into
your company account or private account.
You will equaly make an arrangement for me to visit your country for
disbursement after the money must have been transfered.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged
you must apply first
to the bank as a relation or next of kin of the deceased, indicating your
bank name,your bank account number,your private telephone and the fax number
for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be
remitted. I will not fell to bring to your notice that this transaction is
hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all require
arrangemnts have been made for the transfer, but should be confidential.
You should please contact me immediately as soon as you go through my
private email address:davimensah14@yahoo.ca
In the hope that we can enter into a good business
venture.
Best Regards,
Mr.David Mensah.
