MR .BARRY GODDY
ECOWAS REGIONAL INVESTMENT BANK.
203, Rue Boulevard,
Lome,Togo.
Dear Friend,
With all due respect to your personality, I request that you do not feel
disturbed as I know that business of this magnitude will surely make one
apprehensive.I write to solicit your utmost confidence, knowing too well
that we have neither known nor met each other before, but because you and
the late Mr.William Lewis MAYBE from the same country. Having searched
through the internet,from where I got your email address, I hereby request
that you become the Next of Kin to the late customer of our bank, Late Mr.
William Lewis, who died in West Africa here and abandoned a fixed deposit of
Eight Million, Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD$8.500.000.00),
without a specified next of kin to inherit the deposit at the time of his
death.(Maybe he did this because of the fact that he was into crude oil
deals called)"Oil bunckering" here in west Africa.
My name is MR BARRY GODDY. I am an accountant and the accounting officer to
the William Lewis in the ECOWAS REGIONAL INVESTMENT BANK Lome-Togo.
In the financial Laws of the Federal Republic of Togo, the holding bank is
required to repatriate any abandoned fund by a foreigner if nobody comes to
claim the said funds after three (3) years of the confirmation ofthe death
of the depositor.
For the past three years, all the effort of our Customer Service Department
to trace any relative of the Late Mr. William Lewis has proved abortive. I
do not want this funds to go into the
hands of our corrupt government officials, who have embezzled our national
funds all these years. My interest in this abandoned deposit is as follows:
(1) To see that this abandoned deposit is not handed over incidentally to
some corrupt officials of the government.
(2) To make you the Next of Kin to the late Mr. William Lewis and whom he
has willed the said deposit before his death.
(3) To ensure that the deposited funds is transferred to you as your
INHERITANCE.
(4) To ensure that my own share of it is invested wisely in your country in
any viable area of investment.
Bear in mind that the entire transaction will be risk - free involvement
from your side and legitimate since the funds will be coming to you as your
INHERITANCE. If this proposition is acceptable by you, respond to me ASAP
but if not acceptable by you, do not take advantage of it to betray me.
Remember that doing business over the Internet could sometimes be
unconfidential. If acceptable by you, send me your private telephone and fax
numbers for me to call you for detailed discussion.
Note;Please respond through my private email address:

God bless.
MR.BARRY GODDY.
