FROM MR.GANA DECON.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT.
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA
IBA TOGO.
Tell 00 228 930 76 88
Dear :
I am Mr.Gana Decon, the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of IBA Bank of Togo in West Africa with due respect,I am contacting you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on 31st August 1997 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relations before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was ($25.5MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). Meanwhile all arrangements, to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place, directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party,and a foreigner, who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust, oath to the Bank including a foreign account where he will need the money to be transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondening branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% Percent risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratefulness, while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transaction and bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners.Please, you have been adviced to keep "Confidential" 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 events here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and we come down to your country for sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
Thanks.
Mr Gana Decon.
