Dear Friend ,
With due honour and respect,I am Mr.Thompson George,the Manager
Credit and Foreign Bills of ECO Bank Lome Togo (ECB).
We had a foreign customer Mr Arthur Smith of America who Deposited a huge
sum of money, Twelve million six hundred thousand united states dollars
(US$12.6million) with account number 14-255-1992/ecb/t with our Bank.Eventually,this
customer was among the victims of EGYPT AIR BOEING 767 FLIGHT NO.990 that
crashed on the 31th of October 1999 in U.S.A but, since the demise of Mr
Smith, we have not had any body coming for the claims as the next of kin.
A sitaution I have monitored closely with keen interest and with my position
in the Bank.
Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before
his death, and hence nobody has showed up as the next of kin for the past
five years plus, I have removed the file to my private vault.
I now solicit for your assistance to present you as the next of kin as every
other arrangement has being concluded by me and I am only waiting for a
foreigner to enable me move the fund to his designated nominated foreign
bank account in his country. This does not have any risk attached to it
as all the internal documentations will be handled by me.
I have agreed to share this money with you in the ratio of 10%:30%:60% my
dear 10% of the total sum will be used to pay back all the incurred expenses
in the course of the transaction and 30% is compensation of your assistance
while 60% is for my investment under your supervision in your country.Therefore,
on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss or manifesto
for transfer modalities . I have all necessary information and legal documents
needed to back you up for claim.
To prove to you how authentic this great opportunity mean to I and you,I
hereby assure you that if we do not have this fund lifted in 10 days time
upon the day of application,then withdraw from this transaction.
Please for our subsiquent communication and contacts kindly send me the
following when replying :
Your private mobile number.........
contact address.........................

Fax number .............................
You shall also open an empty/blank Bank account which shall have no money
on it to avoid conflict between I and you,this is where this fund shall
be transfered into. You can reach me with my direct number +228 901 7901
for more explaination.Your urgent assistance is needed.I awaits your urgent
reply.
God bless!
