Lome - Togo.
--------------------------
I am Mr koffi Johnson,the Financial Controller in charge
of Auditing and Accounting section of Progress Investment Bank Lome-Togo in West Africa,with due respect and regards, I write to solicit your assistance and collaboration in actualising a business/financial transaction.I decided to contact you on this business transaction hoping that it will be very beneficial to both of us at its succesful conclusion.
As it may interest you to know,I got your information through internet when I was searching for a reliable,honest and trustworthy person to entrust this business with.I was simply inspired and motivated to pick your contact from the many names and lists in the e-mail directroy.I was divinely and spiritually motivated to pick your e-mail specially to champion this. The amount is large, accepted, but I have the feeling that you can conveniently handle it without
any problem.
During our investigation and audting in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 25 July, 2000 in an AirFrance Airline.The fund has been dormant in his account under our custody without any claim of the fund either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Personally,
I kept this information after the discovery secret between me and my partner.We also smartly audited the account to sooth our purpose for a future plan.This plan is now suitable for execution as we have done all the spade work against future findings.The said amount was USD$14m (Fourteen million, United States Dollars)Directives and needed documents or information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us in actualising this great plan.
This is a golden opportunity to benefit yourself and indirectly make our living in this world worth the while.In fact, we could have done this deal alone but because of our position in this country as civil servants. We are not allowed to operate a foreign account while under service. As an executive staff in the bank, eye brows may be raised during the course of transfer if our account is used.
This is the actual reason why it will require a foreign party who will forward claims as the next of kin. On your request to the bank and after the official protocols,this money will be transferred into any given foreign account by you. This aspect has been duly taken care of by us.I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free and will be transacted in the most legitimate manner.It may interest you to know that at the conclusion of this business, you will be entitled to 25% of the total sum as compensation,while 70% will be held on trust for me and my partner.
The balance of 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses on both sides that may arise during the course of transfer.We intend to enter into partnership business with you in your country or any country you deem suitable.Please,keep top secret and confidential of this proposal as we are still in service and do not want to risk the loss of our job.We hope to happily retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I personally will be monitoring the transaction and situation here in the bank until you confirm the eventual transfer of the money in your account.We shall visit your country for celebration and subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and to discuss about further investment. Other information will be sent to you when I hear from you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
For the confidentiality of this transaction reply,
My regards God bless you family,
Mr koffi Johnson,
