*FROM MR.PASOLO ONYEZE,
BTCI [BANK]ANNEX,
LOME TOGO

*DEAREST FRIEND*
*In order to transfer out (US$10.5M) from BTCI [BANK].I have the courage to
ask for your assistance to handle this important and confidential business
believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.I am
Mr.Pasolo Onyeze, the MANAGER of BTCI [BANK]ASSISTED RURAL PROJECTS IN LOME
TOGO REPUBLIC.There is contract money left in this bank since 1999 and
nobody has claimed it.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do
not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The
owner of this contract money was :Mr.Morgan Beck: a foreigner and a business
man by profession and he died since 1999 and since then I have made several
enquiries to their embassy here to locate any of his extended relatives,this
has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to get this money
transferred into a safe foreigners account abroad but I don't know any
foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot
be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign
account because the money is in US dollars and the former owner:Mr.Morgan
Beck was a foreigner too.
You are the only person that I have contacted in this business, so please
reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. I
would want us to conclude this transfer within five bank working days, In
that regards kindly confirm to me your willing to receive this money into a
foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund will be safe.
I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments
as soon as you receive our fund and confirm to me. I am contacting you
because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign account and foreign
beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because
the bank management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who
has correct information of this account, which I will give to you upon your
willingness immediately.
You can also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will get the
bank to make this remittance in your presence and two of us will fly to your
country so at least two days ahead of the money going into the account. I
will apply for annual live to get visa immediately I hear from you that you
are ready to act and receive this fund in your account.
I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward
transfer of this money to your account.Therefore, on receipt of your
positive response,we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for
transfer which will be executed under legitimate arrangement. Pls reply to
this email address for more details mrrrpasolo015@yahoo.com*

Thanks and God bless
Yours Truly
Mr.Pasolo Onyeze,
