Subject: BUSINESS PROJECTION/
Dear Sir,
I am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign Remmittance Department of Societe Du National Investiment & Finance,SNI&F,Lome-Togo.In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of USD$22,.500,000.00(Twenty Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars)in an account which belongs to one of our foriegn customer who died along with his entirer family in November,2000 in plane crash.
Since we got information about his death,we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the decease as indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along-side with him at the plane clash leaving no body behind for this claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you,so that my bank can release this money to you as the next of kin to the deceased and thereby re-transfer the money to your own account for safety and immediate disburstment since nobody
is coming for it and I dont want this money to go into the bank treasury or coffers as unclaimed bill.The banking rules,regulations andguidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after four years,the money will be transfered into the bank treasure as unclaimed funds.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Togolaise cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.We have resolvedthat 35% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner in respect to the provision of a genuine foreign account that can sustain and accomodate this funds without problems,while 5% will be set aside for any incidental expenses that may occure in the course of running this
transaction and 60% will be for me and my colleagues.
However,be informed that I will visit your country for disbursment according to the stipulated percentages as already indicated.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business
is(hicth and risk free) as you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made and perfected for a smooth transfer.
Contact me immediately on this email address as soon as you receive this letter for more details.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Johnson Mills.
Banager of Bill and Exchange,
Societe Du National Investiment & Finance,
SNI&F,Lome-Togo,West Africa.
