STATES DOLLARS
ONLY) IN A DORMICILIARY ACCOUNT THAT BELONG TO ONE OF OUR FOREIGN CUSTOMERS
JOHN SCHERPERT WHO DIED IN A PLANE CRASH ALONG SIDE WITH HIS FAMILY IN NOVEMBER
1999.
SINCE WE GOT THE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS DEATH, WE HAVE EXPECTED HIS NEXT

THAT I AND SOME KEY OFFICIALS IN MY DEPARTMENT NOW DECIDED TO MAKE BUSINESS
WITH YOU AND RELEASE THE MONEY TO YOU AS THE NEXT OF KIN OR RELATION OF
THE DECEASED FOR SAFE-KEEPING AND SUBSEQUENT DISBURSEMENT WITH YOU SINCE
NOBODY IS COMING FOR IT AND WE DO NOT WANT THIS MONEY TO BE RECYCLED INTO
THE BANK'S BOUNDED ACCOUNT AS AN UNCLAIMED FUND. THE REQUEST FOR A FOREIGNER
AS NEXT OF KIN IN THIS BUSINESS IS OCCASIONED BY THE FACT THAT THE CUSTOMER
WAS A FOREIGNER AND A TOGOLAISE CANNOT STAND AS NEXT OF KIN TO A FOREIGNER.

I AND MY COLLEAGUES WILL VISIT YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE DISBURSEMENT ACCORDING
TO THE AGREED PERCENTAGES. PERSONALLY,I WOULD WANT YOU TO ADVISE ME ON THE
BEST AREA OF INVESTMENT BECAUSE I AM CONSIDERING TO INVEST THE GREATER PROPORTION
OF MY SHARE IN YOUR COUNTRY.
THEREFORE TO ENABLE THE IMMEDIATE TRANSFER OF THE
FUND TO YOU AS ARRANGED,

OF THE DECEASED INDICATING YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS WHEREIN THE MONEY WILL
BE REMITTED.
UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR REPLY MAIL,I SHALL SEND TO YOU
THE TEXT OF THE APPLICATION WHICH YOU WILL BE REQUIRED
TO SUBMIT TO THE BANK FOR THE BANK'S PROCEDURAL
AUTHENTICATION AND IMMEDIATE REMITTANCE OF THE MONEY
TO THE ACCOUNT YOU ARE GOING TO NOMINATE.
AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THIS MAIL,DO CONTACT ME AT
ONCE THROUGH MY ABOVE INDICATED E-MAIL,AT ONCE AND
ENCLOSE YOUR PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL TELEPHONE,FAX
AND E-MAIL FOR THE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION REQUIRED.
