DEAR SIR/MADAM,
I am Mr.THOMAS LARRY AKIM , Bank Manager {Hillbrow Branch} of Union Togolaise De Banque.{UTB} Lome Republic of Togo. I got your email contact, in my search for a trusted partner, who will assist me with this confidential business proposal.
Mr. Morris Thompson made a numbered times (Fixed) deposited for twelve calendar months, valued at US$25,000.000.00 (twethy- five Million US Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, that Mr. Morris Thompson died on Alaska Airlines Flight 261.

More details about the deceased himself,you can check on
(http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html).
On further investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Morris Thompson did not declare any next of kin in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork. This sum of US$25 M is still sitting in the Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at every end of each year.
No one has come forward to claim it. According to the Togolaise Law, at the expiration of 6{Six} years, the money will devert to the ownership of the Togolaise Government ,if nobody applies to claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Morris Thompson so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
;
This is simple ( 1) I shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and obtaining the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.
(2) A bank account in any part of the world, which you provide, will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin of Mr. Morris Thompson.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 35%[US$8,750,000,00 DOLLARS] for you then 5% will be set aside for any expenses that may occur during the transfer process. There is no risk at all as the attorney and my position will do all the paperwork for this transaction as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address.
Upon your response shall then provide you with more details for the successful accomplishment of this transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.
I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project.And also expecting your urgent call as soon as you receive my message +228 918 6193.Kindly send any message through my alternative email addresses below for security measures thus;(accountant_akim@yahoo.fr)
Thanks and regards
Mr THOMAS LARRY AKIM
