Subject: YOUR MAIL.........: Arie Haagsma
AUDIT AND ACCOUNTS UNIT,
FORIEGN REMITTANCE DEPT.,
BCG - TOGO.
Attn:Arie Haagsma
I am Mr Kokou Alfa, the director in-charge of Audit and Accounts Section of the BANQUE COMMERCIALE DU GHANA AU TOGO in Lome-Togo with due respect and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.Upon my assumption of duty with the B.C.G. I conducted a review of auditings and accounts and during the investigation I and my colleaques discovered a huge sum of money belonging to a supposed deceased person who died on Oct 1990 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim of the fund till now.
We had personally kept this information secret within ourself to enable the whole plans and idea mature and be Profitable and successful during the time of execution.The amount is us$7.5M (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only).
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through the chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Lome- Togo from where I secured your contact and recommendation of your person as viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide beneficiary and to get the required approvals and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself to this great business opportunity.
In fact we could have done this deal alone but because of our position as a civil servants which we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on our sides during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.Moreso because of the civil service code of conduct and ethics. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party who will front as the beneficiary and present a foreign bank account where this money will be transferred into.
Upon your acceptance of cooperation in this transaction, we will discuss your gratification, however 5% of this sum will be set aside to take care of any contingency that may arise during the time of transfer.
Please, you have been adviced to make this transaction a top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent disbursements of the fund according to prior agreements as maybe reached and possible further investments in your country or any other country that you may advice us.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I look forward to your response to this proposal as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Kokou Alfa.
