Dear Friend, First,I must solicit your confidence in this transaction,this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly TOP SECRET, though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you by e-mail due to the urgency of this transaction.Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you.
I am Mr Darlington Woris, the Manager at the BTCI bank Du Togo,I came to know of you in my private search for a reliable and reputable person to handle and assist me in a very confidential transaction which involves the transfer of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence. I am not too really sure if you are my long last contact whom I am trying to reach, but in anyway, please do take this message with a good heart and report back to me if you are not the person I think you are. I would explain more latter.
A foreigner, late Engineer John Creek, an Oil Merchant / contractor with the Republic of Togo/ECOWAS COMMUNITY, until his death three years ago in a ghastly air crash, banked with us here at (BTCI Bank),and had a closing balance of USD$22m(twenty two Million United States Dollars) which the bank now unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his available foreign next of kin or alternatively be donated to a discredited trust fund for alms and ammunition at a military war college here in Togo.
Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the (BTCI Bank)to get in touch with any of the Creek's family or relatives but all have proved to no avail.It is because of the perceived possibility of not going to be able to locate any of late Engr.Johnson Creek's next of kin (he had no known wife and children) that the management under the influence of our Chairman, board of directors, Retired Major General Karl Read, that an arrangement for the fund to be declared "UNCLAIMABLE" and then be subsequently donated to the Trust Fund for Alms and Ammunition which will further enhance the courses of war in Africa.
In order to avert this negative development, myself and some of my trusted colleagues here at the bank now seek for your permission to have you stand as late Engr. Johnson Creek's next of kin so that the fund, USD$22m would be subsequently transferred and paid into your bank account as the original beneficiary next of kin. All documents and proves to enable you get this fund have been carefully worked out and we are assuring you a 100% risk free involvement.
Your immediate response is highly needed.
My regards,
Mr Darlington Woris.
