ATT Email;cecekokou2006@yahoo.com


My Dear,


It is my pleasure to seek for your assistance, This proposal is real andI
want you to consider it very important I am Mr.cece kokou, Audit and Account
Unit,ECO International Bank Lome Togo, during the course of our auditing,
I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and
since 1997 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through
some old files in the records, I discovered that the owner of the account
died with his family.
Remain honest to me till the end of this important business trusting in
you and believing in God that you will not disappoint me. The owner of this
account who was a foreigner and an Industrialist died along side with his
next of kin,
since June 5th, 1997 in plane crash, until now no other person(s) knows
about this account or could give any documentary evidence concerning this
account.
Meanwhile the total amount involved is Nine million Six Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars (U.S.$9,600,000.00 only.)
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved
to a local account, without valid international foreign "Agreement", but
could only be approved to any foreigner with valid international documents:
Passport or Driver's license and Foreign Account because this sum is in
US dollars and the deceased owner of the account is a foreigner too, thus
the money could only be approved foreigner as l am there to facilitate it.
I will like both of us to meet face to face to build confidence and to sign
an agreement that will build us together before transferring the money to
any account of your choice where the fund will be safe for safety keeping,To
prove the authenticity of the business I have a copy of deposit certificate
in the deceased file jacket.
I will use my position and influence with the assistance of an attorney
to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money with appropriate
clearance from the relevant Ministries and foreign exchange departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given you 30% of the total
amount, 60% will be for me,while 10% will be for expenses that might have
incurred during this process,This business is 100% risk free, be rest assured.

Best regards,
Mr.cece kokou.
