Subject: confidential

Dear,

I am a manager in the audit and accounting section of Ecobank Lome-Togo
in West Africa with due respect and regard,I contact you on a business
deal that will be of immense benefit to both of us. During our
investigations and auditing in this bank, for the fourth quater of last
financial year i came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a
businessman of German origin who died in octcober 1999 in a kenya airways plane
crash and who maintained an account with this bank which has been
dormant since his death before my discovery of this development without
anybody to claim his money as non is known to exist from my private
investigations.

 Although i am keeping this information secret within myself to enable
the whole plan and idea be Profitable and successful during this time
of execution.The said amount is(U.S $10.5m usd), As it may interest you
to know, I got your  data through one of my good friends who works with
chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Lome- Togo
and was formally a diplomat with our foreign mission.He recommended your
person to me to be viable and capable to champion a business without
any problem. Meanwhile i am making arrangement to put claim over this
fund by presenting you as the next of kin to the deceased,get the required
approval and transfer this money to your foreign account under my
strict guidelines and directives all needed information will be relayed to
you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me
and also benefit yourself with this great opportunity. In fact there is
no possibility of my doing otherwise as any deviation from this style
of claim will jeopadise the deal and because of my position in this
country as a civil servant(A Banker),we are not allowed to operate a
foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the
time of transfer.

This is the actual reason why i will require a second party or fellow
who will forward claims as the next of kin and also present a reliable
foreign bank account where this money will be transferred to on request
as it may after due verification and clarification by the branch of my
bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own nominated
bank account. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is
risk free on your side while i will be in great danger if i am found out.
our sharing formula will be established by us when you indicate your
intrest, Please,for obvious reasons you are to keep this deal secret for
my sake, as i intend to retire from service honourably after i conclude
this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in
this bank until you confirm the money in your account and hold my share
in trust untill i am able to make use of it, All other vital information
will be sent to you when I hear from you. Please get back to me as soon
as possible stating your willingness in this deal.
 
Yours sincerely,
Joel kwema.
