DEAR PROSPECTIVE FRIEND
COMPLIMENT OF THE SEASON TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I HOPE YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS EMAIL WITHOUT A MEASURE OF FEAR AND BEING REST ASSURED THAT ALL WILL BE WELL AT THE END OF THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE OF MY POSITION AND AUTHORITY IN THE BANK. MAY I INTRODUCE MYSELF, I AM MR. MUEL BAK. A BRANCH MANAGER IN MY BANK .I HAVE A VERY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSAL FOR YOU, AS REGARDS THE TRANSFEROF $15M (FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATED DOLLARS) WHICH WAS LEFT BEHIND BY A CLIENT OF MY BANK, WHO DIED ALONGSIDE HIS FAMILY IN A TRAGIC BOMB BLAST ACCIDENT THAT WRECKED THE CITY OF LOME TOGO. A FOREIGN OIL MERCHANT WHO WORKS WITH THE TOGO NATIONAL OIL CORPORATION, MR. SMITH SHAW, DEPOSITED IN A FIXED DEPOSIT, THE SUM OF ($15M) FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATED DOLLARS). AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF HIS FIXED DEPOSIT, AND PAYMENT DUE, I DISCOVERED THAT HE WAS AMONG THE DEAD VICTIMS IN A LOME TOGO BOMB BLAST. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND OUT THAT HE DID NOT LEAVE A WILL AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO TRACE
HIS NEXT OF KIN WERE FRUITLESS SINCE HE DIED WITH HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN. (CHARLES AND VICKY)UPON MY FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT MR.SMITH SHAW DID NOT DECLARE ANY NEXT OF KIN IN ALL HIS OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING HIS BANK DEPOSIT PAPERWORK.THIS SUM OF US$15,000,000 (FIFTEEN MILLION USD) IS STILL IN THE BANK AND THE INTEREST IS BEING ROLLED OVER WITH THE PRINCIPAL SUM AT THE END OF EACH YEAR. NO ONE WILL EVER COME FORWARD TO CLAIM IT.
ACCORDING TO THE BANKING LAW HAS CONTAINED IN THE MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION WITH MY BANK, AS AT THE TIME HE DEPOSITED THE MONEY, AT THE EXPIRATION OF (13) YEARS, THE MONEY WILL REVERT TO THE OWNERSHIP OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE BANK IF HE DID NOT APPLY FOR THE CLAIM OF THE FUNDS, I ONLY HAVE FEW MORE MONTHS TO GET THIS DONE BEFORE THE MONEY COULD BE REVERTED. AND SAD ENOUGH TO HEAR, THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MY BANK WORK HAND IN HANDS WITH THE TOP OFFICIALS OF WEST AFRICAN WAR ACTIVIST WHO FUND MAJOR COUP AND WAR IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES. CONSEQUENTLY.
MY PROPOSAL IS THAT I WILL LIKE YOU AS A FOREIGNER TO STAND IN AS THE NEXT OF KIN TO MR. SMITH SHAW SO THAT THE FRUITS OF THIS OLD MAN'S LABOR WILL NOT GET INTO THE HANDS OF SOME CORRUPT WICKED AND GREEDY OFFICIALS. THIS IS SIMPLE; WE WILL CARRY OUT THIS ACCORDING TO THE LAW, WITH MY POSITION IN THE BANK, EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE. MORESO, THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% POSITIVE.IN YOUR FAVOR FOR THE TRANSFER. A BANK ACCOUNT IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD, WHICH YOU PROVIDE, WILL THEN FACILITATE THE TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOU AS THE BENEFICIARY/NEXT OF KIN. THERE IS NO RISK INVOLVED IN THIS AT ALL. HENCE, IT IS 100% RISK FREE. ALL THE PAPERWORK FOR THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE DONE WITH MY POSITION AS THE BRANCH MANAGER GUARANTEES THE SUCCESSFUL EXECUTION OF THIS TRANSACTION.
UPON YOUR RESPONSE, I SHALL THEN PROVIDE YOU WITH MORE DETAILS AND RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND. PLEASE OBSERVE UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY, AND REST ASSURED THAT THIS TRANSACTION WOULD BE MOST PROFITABLE FOR BOTH OF US, AND THE NEEDY THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM IT, BECAUSE OF MY POSITION AND AUTHORITY IN THE BANK. PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT 20% OF THESE FUNDS WOULD GO OUT TO CHARITY, SUCH AS THE VICTIMS OF THE JANUARY 27 BOMB BLAST, THE ASIAN TSUNAMI DISASTER, AIDS RESEARCHES 40% FOR YOU, AND THE REMAINING 40% FOR ME TOO. UPON YOUR RESPONSE, KINDLY INCLUDE YOUR DIRECT MOBILE TELEPHONE(S) SO THAT WE CAN BOTH TALK.
MY BEST REGARDS,
