UNION TOGOLAISE DU BANK LOME- TOGO.
Dear Friend,
(STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL)
My name is Samuel Mbeki from Lome Togo west Africa. I am the Personal account officer to Late client Who used to work with a manufacturing company here in Lome Togo before his sudden death. On the 21st of April 2003, My client, his wife and their only son was involved in a fatal motor accident along Oaklands Roads, Hanwell-London and unfortunately, They all lost their lives in the event of the accident, Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but of no avail,hence I contacted
you. I contacted you to assist me in repatriating the money and property left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.Particularly a Bank where the deceased deposited the sum of $12 Million U.S Dollars. (Twelve Million United States Dollars Only). Conseqently, the Bank have issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin to the deceased or they will have the funds confiscated within a short period of time.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since he has no relatives left so that this $12 Million U.S Dollars can be released to you as the
next of kin to my late client. For both of us to share the money, I propose 55% to myself and 35% to you for your expected assistance, while 10% should be set aside for settling all expenses or tax as the government of your country may require.
All the necessary documents that can be used to back up the claim of this fund will be processed in your name as soon as we agreed together. All I require
from you now is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guaranteed that this transaction will be 100% risk free and will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law here in Togo or over there in your country.
Please kindly get in touch with me through my private emailaddress or mobile number to enable us discuss in details about this transaction. Remember to send meimmediately information as follows:
**Your full names
**Your full contact address,
**Your private telephone, and Mobile Numbers.
**Your Age and Occupation
Best Regards,
Samuel Mbeki, writing from Togo
