Subject: From:Mrs Fatima Kabbah
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the foreign remmittance department
of Union Togolaise Bank (utb)Togo.In my department i discovered an abandon
sum of US $25.500 dollars(twenty five million, five hundred thousand US
Dollars) in an account which belongs to one of our foriegn customer who
died along with his entirer family in November,2001 in plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we 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 next of kin or relation to the decease as
indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along-side with him at
the plane clash leaving no body behind for this claim. It is therefore upon
this discovery that i now decided to make this business proposal to you and
to release the money into your account as the next of kin or relation to the
death customer for safety and subsequent disburstment since nobody is coming
for it and i dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed
bill. The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after four years, the money will be transfered into the
bank treasure as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin
in this business is occasion by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a Togolaise cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We suggest that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner in
respect to the provision of foreign account, while 10% will be set aside for
any expenses incurred during the business and 60% will be for me. There
after I will visit your country for disbursment according to the percentages
indicated.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business
is(hicth-free) and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements have been made for the smooth transfer. Please contact
me immediately as soon as you receive this letter for more detail.
Thanks,
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Fatima Kabbah
Union Togoliase Bank
(utb)
