FROM MR BENZINA MARKSON
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA
LOME-TOGO.
*http://biatg.com/index_eng.html* <http://biatg.com/index_eng.html>
Iam Mr Benzina Markson,the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of international bank of Africa Lome-Togo in west Africa with due
respect and regards.
During our investigation and audting in the bank, my department came across
a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person,a foregner who died
on November 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family
or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and my
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful
during the time of execution.The said amount was USD$14m (fourtheen million
united state dollars)
As it may intrest you to know, I got your email contact through the
internet as i was making contact of an foreign partner that will assit me to
bring this deal to be success.
I beleive you will be viable and capable to champion a business of such
magnitude without any problem.Meanwhileall the whole arrangement to put
claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, to get the
required approval and transfer this money to a foriegn account has ben put
in place and directives/ needed information will be relayed to you as soon
as you indicate your self to this busniess opportunity.
Infact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foriegn
account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time
of transfer because I work in this same bank. this is the actual reason why
it will require a second part or fellow who will forward claims as the
next of kin with affidavit of Oath to the bank and also present a foriegn
account where he or she will need the money to be re-transfered into on his
request as it may be,after due verification and clarification by designated
bank account.I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100%
risk free. On smoth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to
30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take
care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer such as
telephone bills ets,while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please, you
have been adviced to keep to secert as we are still in service and intend to
retire from service after we confirm the money in your account. And ask us
to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according
to percentage previously indicated and further investment,either in your
country or any other country you may advice us to invest in AllI i want you
to tell me more about your status because I am begining to take you like a
family member of mine that is why I would like you to do your best and
contact me once you receive this mail so that we talk to each other for a
better understanding.
Also, it is necessary you send to me the number of the account where you
will like the money be transfered.Please call me with my private number as
follow's:+228-076-49-27 for more details.
When I receive the account information, I will fill a text of application on
your behalf and secertly submit it to the desk of the director of foreign
remittance department of our bank so that when he sees it, the bank will
contact you through your email as that will be the cotact address which I
will put in the application form. You will also need to send full
informations including fax numbers so that the bank can contact you through
any medium they want.
I have to make sure I give you the necessary guidelines required.
In all your correspondences with the bank, don't let the bank know that you
have any contact with me as that may cearte room for suspicions.
Don't worry for this shall be our time I hope you will continue in your
honest while I promise to do my best to see that we are victorious at
last.
Delay willnot be our advantange because of timing.
Remember that confidentiality and honest from your part will be very much
appreciated by me while I have to re-assure you that I will be sincere to
you on my part.Secrecy is needed please. Iam waiting to hear from you .
My greatest regards to your entire family.
Mr.Benzina
