Greetings to you,
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not
a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it with seriousness. This letter
must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that
people meet and become great friends and business partners.
My name is Mohamed Tofa, the present branch Manager of a bank here in
Lagos.I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can
trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said,
I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is
required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last
December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in
Lagos who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and
discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, ! I discovered an account with
total sum of $8,500,000 million that has not been operated on for the
past 4 years. From my investigation, I found out that this account
belongs to one Late Mr. ANDREAS SCHRANNER a German great industrialist
and a resident of Munich, who unfortunately lost his life along with his
entire families in the plane crash of CONCORDE AIRLINE [Flight AF4590 ]
which crashed on 25TH JULY, 2000. You shall read more news about the
crash on visiting this site, which I got during my investigation;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.
The account is escrow call account, a secret type of account in my bank
and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary. I have kept a close monitoring of
the account since then and nobody has come forward to ask about the
money as next of kin to the late Mr. Andreas Schranner, meaning that no
one is aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this money
without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you for
an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the Manager of
my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds
to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with
the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account, so that my bank head quarters will release the funds to you.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
Under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
Law. If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us
to share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be
satisfied. Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we
can work together, so we can go over the details. I Thanking you in
advance and may God bless you. Please, treat with utmost
confidentiality.
I wait your urgent response true my private
