Subject: URGENT BUSSINESS ASSISTANCE.
FROM MR ABRAHA RASHID.
AUDIT AND ACCOUNT DEPT.
BANQUE TOGOLAISE DE
DEVELOPPEMENT.
LOME-TOGO
Dear ,
This proposal is real and I want you to consider it very important
and I am assuring you that it is not a joke or anyhow letter.
I am Mr ABRAHA RASHID, a staff of BANK TOGOLAISE DE DEVELOPMENT LOME TOGO, Audit and Account Department.
During the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 2000 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.
The owner of this account a foreigner and an Industrialist who has lived in Africa for so many years died along side with his next of kin, since May 7, 2002 in a plane crash. Until now no other person (s) knows about this account or could give any documentary evidence concerning this account. No claimant has come forward because there was none.
Meanwhile, the total amount involved is Seven million United States Dollars (U.S.$7,000,000.00 only.) I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local account, but could only be approved to a foreign account because the late client was a foriegner. Though the bank might want to have some clarifications first. But, to prove the authenticity of the business I have the deceased file jacket in my desk regarding any question that may comes up from the bank.
I will like both of us to build confidence and trust 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. I want you to inform me where you would want the fund to be transfered, also, include your direct telephone number to me so that I can call you immediately for us to discuss.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be entile to 20% of the total amount, 70% 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 that this deal is legal and will be realized.
Best regards.
Mr ABRAHA RASHID.
