Subject: From Mr.Aziz Issa
FROM THE DESK OF MR.AZIZ ISSA
BILL AND EXCHANGE UNIT.
FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPT.
ECOBANK LOME TOGO.
Dear Sir,
I am Mr.Aziz Issa the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remmittance department of Ecobank Lome Togo, In my department we discovered
an abandoneda sum of US $2.5m dollar(two million five hundred thousand US
Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foriegn customer,who died
along with his entire family in October,1999 in plane crash with egyptian
air line.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the decease as
indicated in our banking guidlines and laws, but unfortunately we learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at
the plane clash leaving no body behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the
money to you as the next of kin or relation to the decease for safety and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we dont want this
money to go intothe bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after ten years, the money will be transfered into the bank
treasure as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in
this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a togoliase cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We agree that35% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner,
inrespect to the provision of a foreign account, 5% will be set aside for
expenses incurred during the business and 60% will be for me and my
collegues. There after I and my collegues will visit your country for
disbursment according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arrange,
you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin to the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account, your private telephone and fax
number for easy and effec tive communication and location where in the money
will be remitted upon receipt of your reply, i will send to you by fax or
email the text of the application.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hicth-free and
that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the transfer.
Please you should reply me immediately as soon as you receive this letter
for more explanation.
Yours faithfully,
MR.AZIZ ISSA
