Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
FROM THE DESK OF JAMES CADO,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT,
FINANCIAL BANK,
LOME TOGO.
Dear Friend,
Good-day to you,i am a staff of Financial Bank Lome Togo i am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us.My name is Mr.James
Cado, an audit officer in Financial Bank LOME TOGO .
During my investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across an abandoned sum of $14.8m US dollars (fourteen million Eight hundred thousand US dollars.)In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer Late Mr.Shariev Hariono who died along with his entire family Tsunami disaster in Taiwan 2006,including
his wife and only daughter.
Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Unfortunately I learned that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the Tsunami disaster leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that i now decided to make business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go back into Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The Banking law here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed for five years, it will be for fitted to the Bank Treasury as an unclaimed bill. I cannot stand as the next of Kin to a foreigner as a civil servant .It is upon this discovery that I have decided to contact you to
collaborate with me to pull out this dormant fund.
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 to the bank and also present a foreign account where you will need the money to be re-transferred will not fail to inform you that this
transaction is 100% risk free.
You have been advised to keep top secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I have concluded this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account.
The sharing ratio and modalities of this transfer, note that I intend to share the fund as follows:60% FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION, 30% FOR ME AND10% will be set aside to take
care of any expenses that arise during the time of transaction before the normal sharing.
Why I decided to give you 60% was that you are going to apply as the bonafide next of kin to the bank, mine is just to give necessary details that will back you as the
real next of kin.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you the text of the application. This transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. This transaction will only take a maximum of 14 bank working days.
Further Information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive response.
Thank's,
JAMES CADO,
