Subject: Can we be partners in business?
Dear Friend,
I am Amino idris working with a security company here in Lome-Togo. I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On October 15, 1999, our client Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah who was the deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man, made a deposit with a value of fiftheen million United State Dollars($15,000,000) only in our company and did not claim it before his death.Notification was sent and no response came from him. We later find out that the Governor has been assassinated in Baghdad.
The websites below is a verification of the news about his death:

After further investigation it was also discovered that Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my company. According to the Togo Law, under Togolese foreign and defences affairs, at the expiration of 5 (five) years, such consignment will revert to the ownership of the Togolese Government.
In order to avert this negative development, I will like to seek for your permission as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not be use for financing weapons which will further enhance the courses of war in the world in general.
The trunk box will sent to you and thereafter we will share it in the ratio of 50% for me and 40% for you and 10% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by my attorney and with my position as a worker in the company guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and that will help you understand the transaction. You should observe utmost confidentiality, and 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.
Thanks and regards.
Amino Idris
