Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL..................Rosen
>From Lawson Kossi (Esq)
Lome,Togo West Africa
Direct contact: 00228 923 9053
Attn: Rosen,
With due Respect,i crave your indulgence as i contacted you in such a
surprising manner. But I respectfully insist that you read this letter
carefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for unimaginable financial
rewards for both of us.
I am Barr. Lawson Kossi, Personal Assistant to Late Eng. S.A. Rosen, who was
a contractor and used to work with an Oil Firm here in Lome Togo. I am
writing following the information about you through the International web
directory and wish you are reliable and capable to champion this business
opportunity.
The decease deposited a Trunk BOX of (US$5.5million) as a Family Treasury in
a Security Company here, Which he handed over the CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT to
me ,before his involvement in a car accident On the 21st of April 2002 along
Nouvissi express Road Kara Lome-Togo and Unfortunately lost his live in the
event of the incident
Since his death, I have been expecting his relatives to come over and claims
this money as it cannot be release unless somebody officially apply for it
as the next of kin or relation to the deceased person as indicated in the
security company guidelines and laws but unfortunately his supposed
next-of-kin or relation( WIFE AND ONLY DAUGHTER) dead with him in the event
of the accident .
It's upon this situation that I now decided to make this business proposal
you so that the money will be release to you as the next-of-kin or relation
to the decaesed person.Since all my efforts to locate any of his entended
family has proved abortive. The security company has also issued an
autimaton of one month to provide a beneficiary to the trunk otherwise it
will labelled of claim and thereby be confisicated.
The request for a foreigner as next-of-kin to this business occassioned the
fact that the deceased was a foreigner and a Togoleise can not stand as the
next-of-kin to a foreigner. I now solicit for your assistance to present you
as the next of kin,so that the the trunk can be released to you for safety
and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i don't want
this fund to go into the security company treasury as unclaimed.
On receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing
ratio and modalities for the transfer. I am revealing this to you with the
belief in God that you will not let me down in this business,you are the
first and the only person that I am contacting for this business,Therefore
indicate your interest by replying to this message so that i will furnish
you with more details regarding this transaction,and guide you on what to do
immediately.
Thanks and God bless you, I am anxiously waiting to hear from you.
Regards
Yours faithfully,
Lawson Kossi (Esq)
