Hello,
First I must solicit your confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly Confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that this is real and genuine.
My name is Mr. Ben Kossi. I am the manager of the Banque Atlantique, Kegue branch. I am a Togolese married with kids.
I am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer of us$2,500.000.00.
This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the manager made as profit during the last year. I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2016 to my head office here in Lome and they will never know of this excess.
I have since then, placed this amount of us$2,500.000.00 on a suspense account without a beneficiary.
As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account.
I intend to part 30% of this fund to you while 70% shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund.
If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response on my private email address; . [email protected]
With Regards,
Mr. Ben Kossi
