Dear Ann
With due honour and respect I am Mr Bennet Bubari, of No.112 Milkad Road, Franciscane Ave-maria,Lome-Togo. Director, Auditing and Accounting Department of Apex Global Trust and Finance Security Company AGTFSC. Lome-Togo.
I am writing in a respect of unclaimed deposit belonging to our Late foreign customer, Mr. Arthur Smith of America, with account #AGTFSC/1001/44986-00/tg. Who perished with his immediate Family, Driver and also their Togolaise House help through Motor Accident along Kpamileh Express way on 15 April ,2000.. During the Incident, the news spread round the City, and finally been USA Citizens, they were given a befitted burial. But since the demise of Smith and his immediate Family, I personally have watched with kin interest to see any next of kin or beneficiary to this deposit but no one has come up for the claim of usd$14.5m(fourteen million, five hundred thousand united states dollars)has being in our security vault for a very long time. On this note, I decided to seek for your noble assistance to help me come for the release and transfer of this fund into any of your nominated bank account abroad, In the sense to make you the beneficiary to this unclaimed deposit.
As no one, both friends and relatives has come up as the next of kin to this deposit and our banking ethnics here does not allow such deposit to stay more than six years, because after six years the money will be confiscated into the nations treasury as an unclaimed deposit.
In view of this, I got your contact in my country's trade journal after which i was convinced to contact you and introduce this business with you as a foreigner. The request of the foreigner as a next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that, the customer was a foreigner and a togolaise can not stand as the next of kin to a foreigner. I have agreed to share this money with you in the mutual understanding of 65%/35%. You keep 35% while i keep 65%, How about that? Thereafter i will visit your country for mutual sharing between both of us. Bear in mind also that i would like to invest my own part of the share in your country. As i am almost due for retirement. For us to proceed towards this transaction, you have to send an application text to the security company as the next of kin to their deceased customer.
I will send to you a text of application which you shall re-type and send to the finance house, Upon your response to this mail. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as the whole required arrangement has been perfected for the successful claim and transfer of this fund.
Don't forget to keep this transaction a top confidential until we achieve our goal.
I wait for your response.

Mr Bennet Bubari
