FROM:MR.BREN AKIN...
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT.
BANQUE TOGOLAISE POUR LE COMMERCE ET L'INDUSTRIE,
LOME-TOGO.
Dear friend,
I, MR.BREN AKIN..the director in charge of auditing and accounting section
of Banque Togolaise Pour Le Commerce Et L'Industrie Lome-Togo in West Africa
with due respect and regard. I have decided tocontact you on a business
transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on
November 1st 1999 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful
during the time of execution. The said amount was (U.S $8.5M UNITED STATES
DOLLARS).
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer
this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon
as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit
your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but 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 because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will
require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin
with affidavit of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign
account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his
request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from
to your own designation bank account.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On
smooth 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 and also telephone
bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been
adviced to keep "top secret" as we are still in service and intend to retire
from service after we 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 ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of
the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest
in. All other necessary vital information will be sent to you when I hear
from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish
in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
MR.BREN AKIN...

Hehe, the same story all over again. I can't believe these guys actually scam people!
Never knew there was so much money in Nigeria 😉
Man, these guys should really invest in a dictionary...
I wonder if one of these 'proposals' has ever been received with perfect grammar and spelling?
I think we should await Russ' approval or move it to a another forum. I have one available if needed.
Okay ... I have send him a short reply.

Okay guys, I just recieved a new scam. For those who want to deal with this one, just send me a alternative email address and a basic story and I can "forward" his letter and reply him your email address.
Here is the letter:
Hello,
My name is Mr.Tunde West the manager, credit and foreign
bills of UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA PLC. (UBA). I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank with account number 14-255-2004/utb/t who died few years back his name was Engr.Phillip De Wulf Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim hisfunds of usd.7.4MUSD, [Seven million,four Hundred thousand united states dollars] which has been with my branch for a very long time. On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next of kin as no one has come up to be
the next of kin.
And the banking ethics here does not allow such money to
stay more than seven years, because money will be recalled to the bank
treasury as unclaimed after this period. In view of this I got your
contact through a trade journal after realizing that your name and
country is similar to the deceased. I will give you (USD2M) million
united states dollars of the total. Upon the receipt of your response,I will send you by fax or e-mail the application, bank's and the next step to take. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within seven banking days, after you apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased.Please all i need is your full coperation,and note that i will take care of anything down here my self.
When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail
signifying your decision including your private Tel/Fax numbers for
quick communication.
Respectfully submitted,
Tunde West
