SINCE THE DEMISE OF ENGINEER TRAN YUNG LI, I PERSONALLY HAVE WATCHED WITH KEEN INTEREST TO SEE THE NEXT OF KIN OR A BENEFICIARY TO THIS DEPOSIT BUT NO
ONE HAS COME UP FOR THIS CLAIM OF USD14,000,000.00[FOURTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY]. THIS FUND HAS BEEN IN OUR SECURITY VAULT SINCE THE INCIDENT.
ON THIS NOTE I DECIDED TO SEEK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE TO COME FOR THE RELEASE AND TRANSFER OF THIS FUND INTO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT IN ABROAD.
IN THE SENSE TO MAKE YOU THE BENEFICIARY TO THE SAID UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT AS NO ONE BOTH FRIENDS AND RELATIVES HAS COME UP AS THE BENEFICIARY IS BECAUSE OUR SECURITY COMPANY ETHICS HERE DOES NOT ALLOW SUCH MONEY TO STAY MORE THAN SIX YEARS, AFTER SIX YEARS THE MONEY WILL BE CONFISCATED INTO THE NATIONS TREASURY ACCOUNT AS UNCLAIMED DEPOSIT.
IN VIEW OF THIS I GOT YOUR IMPRESIVE CONTACT THROUGH MY PRIVATE SEARCH IN THE INTERNATE,AFTER WHICH I PRAYED OVER AND WAS DIRECTED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO CONTACT YOU AND INTRODUCE THIS BUSINESS TO YOU AS A
FOREIGNER.
THE REQUEST OF THE FOREIGNER AS A BENEFICIARY IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS A FOREIGNER AND A TOGOLAISE CANNOT STAND AS THEBENEFICIARY TO A FOREIGNER.
I HAVE AGREED TO SHARE THIS MONEY WITH YOU IN THE MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF 70%/30%.YOU KEEP 30% WHILE I KEEP 70%,HOW ABOUT THAT? THEREAFTER I WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR MUTAUL SHARING.
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 TO THE FINANCE HOUSE AS THE BENEFICIARY TO THEIR DESEASED CUSTOMER.
I WILL SEND TO YOU AN APPLICATION LETTER WHICH YOU SHALL RE-SEND TO THE FINANCE HOUSE WITH A BACK UP NOTE REQUESTING FOR A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP IN YOUR NAME UPON YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS MAIL. I WILL NOT FAIL TO BRING TO YOUR NOTICE THAT THIS BUSINESS IS HITCH FREE, YOU SHOULD NOT ENTERTAIN ANY FEAR AS THE WHOLE REQUIRED ARRANGEMENT HAS BEEN PERFECTED FOR THE SUCCESSFUL CLAIM AND TRANSFER OF THIS FUND.
DON'T FORGET TO KEEP THIS TRANSACTION A TOP CONFIDENTIALITY UNTILL WE ACHIEVE OUR AIM.
