Greetings Beloved Friend,I am Mr Jeremiah Adams, the International Relation's manager at the foreign remittance Department of (BARCLAYS BANK OF TOGO PLC). I am writing to seek your interest over a transaction.
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of
$9.5m(Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollar). In an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in a Car accident in August 2003.
Since we got information about his Death,as the International Relation's Manager of the bank I have been expecting his nextof kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines 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 dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. The
Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Five years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner from United State of America. We agree that 50 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, 50 % would be for me. I will be waiting for your immediate call on my telephone number to enable me send to you futher informations and documents that will back you up.
This transaction is very easy and simple,and it is 100% risk free.
You should call me immediately as soon as you receive this letter with the email telephone number above and below.Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Regards,
Mr Jeremiah Adams
