Dear Friend,
With good faith i have come to you about this Legitimate Business of mine,
but i must first introduce myself to you.
I am Mr James Med.The Operation Manager of the DIMOND TRUST & FINANCE
COMPANY.Lome-Togo, West Africa. A SUBSIDIARY OF ECOWAS MONETRY UNIT
(D.T.F.C/ECOWAS UNIT) I am writing in a respect of unclaimed deposit
belonging to a foreigner, Late Mr.Arthur Smith, of America, with account
#D.T.F.C/1001/44986-00/tg. Who perished on the plan crash of 31st of
october,1999 with egyptian airline 990 with other passengers aboard. Since
the demise of Mr.Smith, I personally have watched with kin interest to see
any next of kin or beneficiary to this deposit but no one has come up for
the claim of (usd$18.5million united states dollars)has being in our
security vault for a very long time. On this note, i decided to seek for
your noble assistance to help me come for the release and transfer of this
fund into any of your nominated bank account abroad, In the sense to make
you the beneficiary to this unclaimed deposit. As no one both friends and
relatives has come up as the next of kin to this deposit and our banking
ethnics here does not allow such deposit to stay more than seven/eight
years, because after seven/eigh years the money will be confiscated into the
nations treasury as an unclaimed deposit.
In view of this, I got your contact in my country's trade journal after
which i was convinced to contact you and introduce this business with you as
a foreigner. The request of the foreigner as a next of kin in this business
is occassioned by the fact that, the customer was a foreigner and a
togolaise can not stand as the next of kin to a foreigner. I have agreed to
share this money with you in the mutual understanding of 65%/35%. You keep
35% while i keep 65%, How about that? Thereafter i will visit your country
for mutual sharing between both of us. Bear in mind also that i would like
to invest my own part of the share in your country. As i am almost due for
retirement. For us to proceed towards this transaction, you have to send an
application text to the security company as the next of kin to their
deceased customer.
I will send to you a text of application which you shall re-type and send to
the security company, Upon your response to this mail. I will not fail to
bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should
not entertain any fear as the whole required arrangment has been perfected
for the successfull claim and transfer of this fund.
Don't forget to keep this transaction a top confidential untill we achieve
our goal.
Waiting for your positive response.
Best Regards,
Mr James Med.
