contacting you for the claim of your late uncle fund that was deposited with the
Ecobank Togo.I am soliciting for your confidence in this matter, this is by
virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top Secret. Though I know
that a contact of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but
I am assuring you that all will be well since I know everything about your late

He was Banking with Ecobank Lome Togo and had a
closing balance as at the end of september,2004 worth $10.5M (Ten Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars).The bank now expects the Next of Kin to come forward
as beneficiary.
Efforts have been made by the Ecobank Lome Togo to get
in touch with any of the Deceased Family or Relatives, but they have met with no
success.Now the management under the influence of the bank Chairman and Members
of the Board of directors, has made arrangement for the fund to be declared
Unclaimed so that they can share the money amongst themselves.
In order to
avert this negative development, it is my duty to contact you since your name
was amongst listed in his personal files that was with me, now you are to stand
as the next of kin to his properties.
All documents and proof to enable

secured from the probate an order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased
beneficiaries, and more so am assuring you that this claim is 100%risk free. Now
it is left for you decide on what you will give as my percentage for assisting
you in this claim.
