Subject: I WILL GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS
FROM FRANKS ADAMS
OFFICER IN CHARGE
AUDIT DEPARTMENT
BTCI BANKS LOME
TOGO
HELLO DEAR,
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise,please accept the content in good faith,because I do not intend to cause any grief to you and your family. My name is Mr.franks adams an audit officer in Btci Bank LOME TOGO;In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of â¬5.5 Million Euros (Five Million Five Hundred thousand Euros) in an account that belong to one of our foreign customers Late Engineer.david Hollande,an American who before his death was the Director Exxon Mobil OIL COMPANY Lome Togo,who died with his wife and their only daughter in the Tsunami Disaster that happened in Koh Phi Phi Island, Thailand on 26th December 2004 and unfortunately lost his live with his wife their and their only daughter.Please go through these web site below:

Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 4 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account will be paid to you as HIS NEXT OF KIN. We don't want this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill,because our banking law and guidelines here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed before the end of this year 2008,the money will be transferred into banking treasury as unclaimed funds,citing the non operational of the dormant account since the death of late Engineer Hollande. We agreed that some 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner, while the balance will be for me and my colleague .
I will visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into your hands. We therefore seek your consent to present you here as the Next of Kin to the deceased since you are at an advantage to receive these money,being a foreigner. Our request for a foreigner as next-of-kin in this business is occasioned by the act that the customer was a foreigner and a Togolaise can not stand as next-of-kin to late Engineer.Hollande.
We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response,
Thanks and waiting to hear from you soonest.
Mr franks adams
