Subject: Private,Your Attention Needed Urgently.
From the desk of
The manager Credit and Account Department
African Development bank
Lome Togo
Attention,
My Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day,In brief,I am Mr.Frank Dan.The manager Credit and Account Department of African Development bankLome Togo.
I am writing in a respect of unclaimed deposit belonging to a foreigner,Late mr John Bowman of America with account # Adb/1001/44986-00/tg.Who
perished on the plan crash of 31tst october,1999 with egpytian airline 990 with other passengers aboard.
Since the demise of Bowman,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$20.5m(twenthy milion,five hundred thousand united states dollars)has being in our bank 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 of 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%,How about that???? Thereafter i will visit your country for the mutual sharing between both of us. 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 a text of application which you shall re-type and send to the bank 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 for
more informations and clerifications on +228 9166 855.
Hoping to hear a positive response from you.
Best wishes,
Mr.Frank Dan,
