Subject: URGENT
DR.JIMMY BUTU.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ..A.D.B
LOME REPUBLIC OF TOGO
WEST AFRICA.
PHONE: +228 993 65 80
MY DEAR;
I am Dr. JIMMY BUTU, the director in charge of
auditing and accounting section of African Development
Bank Federal republic of Togo in west Africa with due
respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on
abusiness transaction that will be very beneficial to
both of us at the end of the transaction.
My Dear please call me urgently because this is a
factor of time. I am 50, and work with a bank (one of
the African leading Banks in the West Coast). Here in
this Bank existed a dormant account for the past 8
years which belong to an American national who is now
late Mr.Raymond Beck. Mr Raymond Beck however died on
EgyptAir Flight 990.Please view related site:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/11/01/iran/main49778.shtml
There have not been any withdrawals from this account
for this long period, I decided to carry out a system
investigation and discovered that non of the family
member nor relations of the late person is aware of
this account.
This is the story in a nutshell. Now I want an account
overseas where the bank will transfer this
funds.Thereafter, I had planned to destroy all related
documents for this account. It is a careful network
and for the past eleven months I have worked out
everything to ensure a hitch-free operation.
The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all
the accumulated interest the balance in this account
stands at-(US$ 9.5 million US dollars).Meanwhile all
the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as
the bonafide next of kin to the deceased and get the
required approval and transfer this money to a foreign
account has been put in place, all directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as
you indicate your interest and willingness to assist
us and also benefit yourself 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 eye brow 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 to the Bank and also present a foreign account
where he will need the money to be re-transferred into
on his request as it may be after due verification and
clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank
where the whole money will be remitted from to your
own designated bank account.
Now our questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?
3. What will be your commission? If you can sponsor
this transfer.
4. mail with phone & fax number...........
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this
bank until you confirm the money in your account and
ask us to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages
previously indicated and further investment either in
your country or any country you will advice us to
invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you on
your acceptance to champion this transaction with me.I
suggest you get back to me as soon as possible or you
contact me on my private line +228 993 65 80 stating
your wish in this deal.
Yours Faithfully,
DR JIMMY BUTU
