Dear Friend,
I am MR.JASMINE DOUGLAS,the Financial Controller in charge of Auditing and =
Accounting section of BTCI BANK, Lome-Togo in West Africa,with due respect =
and regards,I write to solicit your assistance and collaboration in actuali=
zing a business/ financial transaction. During an investigation and auditin=
g in our bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging=
to a deceased person who died in 21st April 2006 in a plane crash.=20
=A0
The fund has been dormant in his account under our custody without any clai=
m of the fund either from his family or relation before our discovery to th=
is development. Our financial policy stipulates that if a current account i=
s not operated for more than=A04 years, the proceed of that account is conf=
iscated and taken over by the bank.
As it may interest you to know, your contact was obtained in the Internet a=
s I was going through some web-pages in search of the relation of my late c=
ustomer.I was divinely and spiritually motivated to contact you prior to hi=
s death. The amount is large, accepted, but I have the feeling that you can=
conveniently handle it without any problem.
=A0
The said amount was USD$4.5 million (Four million,Five hundred Thousand=A0U=
nited States Dollars) My late customer died (without a will) leaving no aut=
hority to a next of KIN, thereby making his fund valuable to claim by any p=
erson with a documentary evidence or proof as the next of KIN. Personally, =
I kept this information after the discovery secret between myself. I also s=
martly audited the account to smooth my purpose for a future plan. This pla=
n is now suitable for execution as I have done all the spade work against f=
uture findings.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement and necessary approvals to put claim ov=
er this fund as the bona-fide next of kin to the deceased, has been gotten =
and put in place. My immediate requirement is to have a willing and coopera=
tive foreign partner who will stand as the next of kin and this money will =
be transferred into his/her account. Directives and needed documents or inf=
ormation will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and w=
illingness to assist me in actualizing this great plan. This is a golden op=
portunity to benefit yourself and indirectly make our living in this world =
worth the while.
It may interest you to know that at the conclusion of this business, you=20
will be entitled to 40% of the total sum as compensation, while 60% will be=
held on trust for me.I personally will be monitoring the transaction and s=
ituation here in the bank until you confirm the eventual transfer of the mo=
ney in your account. Other information will be sent to you when I hear from=
you.I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in =
this deal.=20
=A0
My Regards,
MR.JASMINE DOUGLAS=0A=0A=0A
