Subject: KINDLY GET BACK TO ME
FROM MR JOHNSON DOSUN.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT.
BANQUE TOGOLAISE POUR LE COMMERCE ET L'INDUSTRIE,
LOME- TOGO.
Dearest,
I am Mr Johnson Dosun the head of auditing and accounting section of
Banque Togolaise Pour Le Commerce Et L'Industrie Lome-Togo in West Africa
with due respect and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died
on 26th December 2004 in Tsunami that happened in Sumatra island,
Indonesia.
From the information that our bank have gotten so far, the Tsunami
killed him with his entire family and no none relation have been identified.
The person that he used as his next of kin was his 17 year old son who died
along side with the family.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself to
enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time
of execution. The said amount was (U.S$9.5M UNITED STATES DOLLARS).
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and
directivesand needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit your
self 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(A Banker),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 with affidavit of trust of oath
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 beremitted from to your own designation bank account.I will not
fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 40% of the
total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 50% will be for me.Please, you have been adviced to keep it as
a "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service
after I conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you
confirm the money in your account and ask me 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
advice me to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you
when I hear from you.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Johnson Dosun.
