FROM THE DESK OF MR ROGANS BILAH.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BTCI-BANK
LOME, TOGO.
Dear friend,
Compliments,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of BTCI -BANK.
I am writting to seek your coperation over this business deal.
In my department, I discovered an abandoned sum of $13.6million only, in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family in a plane crash that took place in Kenya.
The Late DR. GEORGE BRUMLEY,a citizen of America a contractor with GOVERNMENT TOGOLESE.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because it cannot be released
unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately , all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you via your foreign bank account as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and this money Could go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after four years, the money will be transfered into the
Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request for your assistance and maximum co-operation as a foreign citizen to stand as the next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner and a Togolese Nationality cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
40 % of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, inrespect to
the provision of a foreign account. 10 % will be set aside for expences
incured during the business and 50 % would be for me.
There after I will come over to your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged,you must apply first to the bank as the relation or next of
kin to the deceased,indicating your claims and wherein the money will be
remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of application which you will fill and submit to the office of the foreign
remittance director of the bank.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is stricly confidential and i will use my position in this Bank to effect a hitch free transfer of the fund.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your’s faithfully,
Mr Rogans Bilah.
