Subject: Your assistance is needed urgently
FROM JOHNSON UBAKA,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT,
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA,
LOME- REPUBLIC OF TOGO.
ATTN:
I Am Mr.Johnson Ubaka,The Director In Charge Of Auditing and accounting section of INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA,LOME- REPUBLIC OF TOGO in west Africa with due respect and regard.I got your email contact from business net while searching for a foreign partner who will assist me on this business .During our investigation and auditing in my department, we discoverred an abandoned sum of 5 million US Dollars(Five million US Dollars) in account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in November 1999 in a plane crash in a neibouring country. 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 deceased as indicated in our banking guide lines and laws but unfortunately we learnt that his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody 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 deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since Nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be tranfered into the Bank's treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for you; a foreigner as next of kin in this abusiness is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an indegine can not stand as next of kin to this family. We agreed that 20 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 5 %will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 75 % would be for me and my colleagues.
There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according 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 relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank particulars, your private, telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail the text of this application which you will send to the department incharge after i and my colleagues conclude all the internal banking arrangement that makes you next of kin of the funds.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is as free as breathing and must be kept confidential.All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
Johnson Ubaka.
