Attn: Friend, 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 got your contact from a
directory data, and hoping that you are a reliable and honest person that will
assist in championing this transaction. In a brief introduction,I am
Mr.Marcel Bankoley, an internal auditor with a finacial institution here in
Lome-Togo. With due respect and regard, I am contacting you on a business
transaction that will be beneficial to both parties at the end. In my
department we discovered an abandoned sum of USD$9.5M United States Dollars in
an account that belongs to Engr. W.A.Pagnon , an expartriate
oil consultant who died along with his wife and their only daughter in a car
accident on July 2002. Upon Maturity of the deposit, the fund was confined to a
dormant status where upon we made this discovery,and further inquiries by me
revealed that all his supposed next of kin died alongside with him in the event
of the crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is standard
practice that after the expiration of 7 years the funds will be declared as an
"unclaimed asset resource" and the account is closed. My contacting you based on
the fact that you have the same surname with the deceased is to allow your
particulars to be forwarded to this institution as the family member or next of
Kin to our deceased customer for the purpose of benefitting the content of the
account. All the arrangement to put claim over this fund has been perfected by
me and I will assist you on steps to follow. Every necessary documents shall be
obtained on your behalf to back-up this claim. Needless to say that the
trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return we demand your
complete honesty and trust. Therefore this transaction will be based on the
following terms and condition as stated below: 1. Our conviction of your
transparency, honesty and deligence. 2. That you will treat this
transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. 3. That you will
not ask for more share than what is negotiated or try to sit on the funds or
indulge in any form of blackmail once the funds is under your
custody. 4. That upon receipt of the funds, you will release and
disburse 10% of the total fund to Motherless home here or there then the
remaining 90% will be shared by both parties on our agreed
ratio Remember that with my support, this transaction is risk free and
will be done under a legitimate arrangement that will protect us from any breach
of the law. We also hope to conclude this transaction within a short period of
time if you accord us your unalloyed support and co-operation. And am assuring
you that with my position in the bank this money will hit your account
successfully before 14 official bank working days. As soon as you accept
this condition and finally indicate your interest in this deal the first thing
is to send your telephone number for voice to voice communication and further
establishment of trust,after this I will then guide you on other steps to
follow. To further cement our trust on you, we will demand for a
written agreement or any other proof of loyalty from you when you finally accept
this offer. Waiting eagerly to hear from you soonest
Best Regards,Mr Marcel Bankoley
