Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU ?
FROM MR.K C. OFUZIM,BTCI [BANK]LOME TOGO ANNEX, DEAREST FRIEND
In order to transfer out (US$5.5M) from BTCI [BANK].I have the courage to ask for your assistance to handle this important and confidential business believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.I am Mr. K.C Ofuzim the MANAGER of BTCI [BANK]ASSISTED RURAL PROJECTS IN TOGO REPUBLIC.There is contract money left in this bank since 1999 and nobody has claimed it.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this contract money was :Mr.Morgan Beck: a foreigner and a business man by profession and he died since 1999 and since then I have made several enquiries to their embassy here to locate any of his extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to get this money transferred into a safe foreigners account abroad but I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in US dollars and the former owner:Mr.Morgan Beck was a foreigner too. You are the only person that I have contacted in this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. I would want us to conclude this transfer within five bank working days, In that regards kindly confirm to me your willing to receive this money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments as soon as you receive our fund and confirm to me. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign account and foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the bank management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you upon your willingness immediately. You can also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will get the bank to make this remittance in your presence and two of us will fly to your country so at least two days ahead of the money going into the account. I will apply for annual live to get visa immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account. I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account.Therefore, on receipt of your positive response,we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer which will be executed under legitimate arrangement. Thanks and God bless Yours Truly Mr.K.C.Ofuzim N.B: PLEASE FORWARD TO ME YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER INCASE I NEED URGENT CONVERSATION WITH YOU.
