Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
From Ronald Adjavon (Esq)
Lome,Togo West Africa
Telephone: 00228 9327410
Attn: Pls,
With due Respect,i crave your indulgence as i contacted you in such a
surprising manner. But I respectfully insist that you read this letter
carefully as I am optimistic it will open doors for unimaginable financial
rewards for both of us. I am barrister Ronald Adjavon,Personal Assistant to
late Engr. P A. John, who used to work with an Oil Firm here in Togo. I am
writing following the information about you through the International web
directory,this is as result of my involvement in this as personal assistant
to my late client.
On the 25th of December 2003,my client,his wife and their only daughter were
involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road and lost thier lives
while returning from a cultural festival holding in a nearby city. Before
this tragedy,late Engr. P A. John deposited a huge amount of $8.6M (Eight
Million Six hundred thousand United States Dollars), with a Bank here, which
he Intrusted the DEPOSIT SLIP with me. The said Bank has issued me a notice
as his Personal Assistant to provide a next of kin or have his account
confisicated at the expiration of the deadline.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives but all proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts,I decided to look for a foreign countrpart who can be
able to help me in achieving this goal hence I contacted you. I wish you are
capable and reliable to champion this business opportunity,because the money
cannot be release unless somebody officially apply for it as the next of kin
or relation to the deceased as indicated in the banking laws/guidelines here
in our country.
The request for a foreigner as next-of-kin to this business occassioned the
fact that the deceased was a foreigner and a Togoleise can not stand as the
next-of-kin to a foreigner. I now solicit for your assistance to present you
as the next of kin,so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you
for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and i
don't want this fund to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
On receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing
ratio and modalities for the transfer. I am revealing this to you with the
belief in God that you will not let me down in this business,you are the
first and the only person that I am contacting for this business, Therefore
indicate your interest by replying to this message so that i will furnish
you with more details regarding this transaction and guide you on what to do
immediately.
Thanks and God bless you,I am anxiously waiting to hear from you.
Best regards,
Ronald Adjavon (Esq)
