Subject: FOR YOUR URGENT AND PERSONAL ATTENTION.
FROM THE DESK OF DR.USMAN SAHEED
MANAGER,BILL AND EXCHANGE
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
BANQUE AFRICAINE POUR LE COMMERCE ET L'INDUSTRIE,(BACI).
LOME-TOGO.
Attn,
I am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the foreign remittance department of Banque Africaine Pour Le Commerce Et L'industrie (BACI).In my department I discover an abandon sum of US $25.500 000.00 dollars(Twenty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) in an account which belongs to Mr Donald Heck,one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family on October 31st,1999 in plane crash. View the below website for your perusal and understanding; http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/guardian/991031EGYPTAIR_LIST1.htm
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
apply for it as next of kin or relation to the decease as indicated in our banking guidline and laws, but unfortunately we larnt that all his surpose next of kin or relation died along-side with him at the plane clash leaving no body behind for this claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and to release the money into your account as the next of kin or relation to the death customer for safety and subsequent disburstment since nobody is coming for it and I dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after nine 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 occassion by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Togolaise cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
We suggest that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner in respect to the provision of foreign account, while 10% will be set aside for any expenses incurred during the business and 60% will be for me and my patners. There after I will visit your country for disbursment according to the percentage indicated.I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is (hicth-free) and that you should not entertain any atorm of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the smooth transfer.Please contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter for more details.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.Usman Saheed
(BACI) Togo.
