Subject: Re: Awaiting your response
*From Mr Felix Waye*
*Branch Manager*
*Banque Atlantique *
*Akosombo Branch Togo*
*(www.banqueatlantique.net) *
* *
*Attn: Pls, *
* *
*I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise as we never met
before, 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 at the end. I am Mr Felix Waye, the regional manager of Banque
Atlantique Akosombo branch republique of Togo . I got your information
during my search through the Internet for a reliable and reputable person to
handle a very confidential transaction that involves transfer of funds to a
foreign bank account. *
* *
*I Hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that I
am about to repose on you for the mutual benefit of our both families. I
pray you will understand and assist effectively for the success of this
transaction, though this approach appears desperate but I assure you that
everything will workout successfully.*
* *
*I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as
the regional manager of my branch, it is my duty to send a financial report
to my head office in the capital city Lome at the end of each year. On the
course of the last year 2007 end of year report, I discovered that my branch
in which I am the manager made Three million seven hundred and sixty
thousand dollars [3,760.000.00] which my head office are not aware of and
will never be aware of. I have since place this fund on what we call ESCROW
ACCOUNT without any beneficiary.*
* *
*As an officer of the bank I can not be directly connected to this money,
this is the more reason why I needed your assistance to provide an account
that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and future investment with your
comprehensive advise, assistance and partnership in your country.*
* *
*Note that there are no risk involved, it will be bank to bank transfer, all
I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of this fund who
made the deposit with my branch so that my Head office can order the
transfer to your designated bank account. *
* *
*If you accept this offer to work with me, what will be your commission if
you can sponsor this transfer? As soon as you are ready to assist and
finally indicate your interest in this business, I advise that you get back
to me as soon as possible for more explanations and possible means of
transferring this fund to your account. *
* *
*I will appreciate your urgent response.*

*Best regards,*
*Mr. Felix Waye*
