Subject: From Mr.Michael Awo.
FROM THE DESK OF:
Mr.AWO MICHAEL
DIRECTOR GENERAL,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT ECO BANK.
Republic Of Togo.
Call:00228-9437808.
Dear Sir,
PLEASE YOUR URGENT REPLY TO THIS LETTER IS HIGHLY NEEDED.
With due respect and humanity, I write to you this Business Proposal that
will be very beneficial to both of us at the end. I am Mr Michael Awo, the
DIRECTOR GENERAL of AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING SECTION in the Foreign
Remittance Department of ECOBANK, in Togo Republic.
Following the impressive information about you which I got from Internet Web
when I was searching for a reliable person with good profiles to assist me
for this life business opportunity, i am also writting. As you may like to
know, During our investigation and Auditing in this Bank, my Department came
across a very huge Sums of MONEY belonging to a deceased person who died on
November 1999 in a plane crash and the MONEY has been dormant in His account
with our Bank without any claim of the Funds in our custody either from his
Family or His relation before our discovery to this development.
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of
kin to come forward and claim his money because my Bank cannot release it
unless somebody applies for it as NEXT OF KIN or RELATION to the deceased as
indicated in (our banking guidelines) and policies, but unfortunately I
learnt that all his supposed (Next of Kin) or Relation are among the plane
crash in that 1999, hence nobody remains for the Property.
It is therefore upon this discovery, 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 between
both of us since nobody is coming forth and I don’t want this Money to go
into the (Bank treasury) as unclaimed Bill. According to our Banking
policies and guideline Here, it stipulates that if such money remained
Unclaimed after five years, the money will Automatically be transferred into
the Bank treasury as Unclaimed fund.
The said amount was (US$8.5 Million),(EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATES DOLLARS). Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim
over this Funds as well as withdrawing it by you as the bonafide Next of
Kin/relation to the deceased, get the required Approval and Transfer this
money to any Foreign Account has been put in place by me and directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist Me and also benefit your self to this
great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account
and would eventually raise an eyebrows on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will
require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the Next of Kin
with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth conclusion of this transaction, I am ready to give you 30% out of
this money upon receipt of the total monies into your Account in respect to
the provision of a (foreign account), 5% out of the Money will be share
50-50 after removing any expenses incurred by you or by me during the curse
of the transaction while 65% will be for me.
Please, you have been advised to keep top secret as I am still in service
and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you. I
will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the Funds according to above maped percentage for and
further investment, either in your country or any country you advice me to
invest in.
All other necessary information of this business and Text of Application for
Claiming the Money will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you
get back to me as soon as possible either by phone or e-mail, stating your
wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Michael Awo.
