Oceanic Bank PLC(Bank)
Lome-Togo.
Dear Friend,
I am relying on a piece of information I gathered about you through a friend working at the Togolese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, to contact you for this important project. I am Mr Collins GREG a Manager at Oceanic Bank PLC(Bank) Head Office here in Togo.
The nature of this business requires trust and extremeconfidentiality and I want to request that you should handle it in the strictest confidence. A very wealthy deceased customer of our bank, Mr.Dominic Gamba - a Sierra Leone an and one time minister for natural resources in that country left the sum of Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(U.S$6.500.000.00m) in a special domiciliary account with our bank since his death in 1998.
In his Will which has just been made available to us by his Lawyer and family,he shared his other wealth located in some other bank accounts judiciously among his family members and local welfare organisations, but requested specifically thiat the $6.500.000.00M in this account with our bank be given 100% to a foreign organisation or individual trustee who will utilise it strictly for charity. In this Will also, he gave sole authority for the nomination of this foreign trustee to his personal Lawyer - Mr. David MBA and the Head of the Domiciliary Account Department of my bank, which position I am occupying at the moment.
So, the choice of a foreigner for this project is in strict compliance with the Wish of the deceased account holder who believes that the fund will be better utilised by a foreign trustee since there will be no interference or manipulation by local authorities. Due to the exigencies of Togolese legislation, there became the need to acquire a Letter Of Administration from the Togolese Probate Registry to give legal impetus to the execution of this Will in Togo. For this reason, the execution of this Will could not materialise until last month when the court in Togo issued the final Letters Of Administration.
Having secured this Letters Of Administration from the court, the authority for the appointment of an administrator for this fund now lies solely in my hands and that of the Attorney. Both of us (Myself and the Attorney) have met several times over this issue and have agreed mutually among ourselves to transact thaais business in such a way that it will be beneficial to us. In fact, we have decided to utilise only 30% of this fund for charity while reserving the rest for ourselves.
After deducting the overall cost (both foreign and local) incurred in executing this project, whatever balance left from the outstanding 70% will be shared equally between myself, the Attorney and the foreign partner who will assist us to receive this money as the appointed trustee. Also, the foreign partner will receive in addition to his share, the 30% earmarked for Charity under the strict agreement that this part must be spent for Charity through him or his organisation in compliance with the wish of the late account holder.
My reason for contacting you is therefore to solicit for your cooperation in this project so that your name or that of your company can be used as the appointed foreign trustee to whose care this money will be transferred. There is absolutely no risk involved as we heeave the copy of the Will and Letters of Administration to back the transaction. But you must also understand that a transaction of this nature and magnitude requires absolute secrecy so that no one else hears about it especially, our mutual agreement to utilise and disburse this fund as stated in the paragraph above.
If you accept to offer your cooperation for this project, please reach me urgently through my direct email address to enable me give you the full schedule of the transaction. You should also provide me with your private telephone and fax numbers for intimate communication.
Best Regards,
Mr Collins GREG.
