I got this email this morning and want to know who is pulling my leg?


Attn: Mr. Debbiexxx.

Dear Sir,

With due honour and respect, I am Dr.George Kosssi
the director in charge of Audit and Accounts Unit,
Foreign Remittance Department of the Union Togolaise de Banque (Union Bank),
Lome -Togo in West Africa. I
got your contact address recommended by a Togolaise business consultant, Elder
John Kafui and I decided to
contact you for beneficial and a 100% risk-free business transaction.

During our auditing and investigations in this bank, my department came across
the sum of Twenty-Five
million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD25,500,000) only
belonging to a Japanese
international businessman who died along with his next of kin in the 5th
November, 1997 aeroplane crash in
Abidjan.

Before our discovery to this development, there was no trace of claim from any
person as the fund remains
dormant in his account with this bank. Although, I keep this information secret
within my jurisdiction to
enable us put claims and transfer the said amount through a trustworthy friend
overseas whom we shall
present to the bank as the bona-fide next-of-kin to the deceased for a
profitable and successful deal.

Meanwhile, all the arrangement to put claims as the bonafide next-of-kin to the
deceased, to get the
required approval and transfer of this money to a foreign account has been put
in place. The directives
and the needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to
benefit yourself from this great business opportunity.

Infact, we could have done this deal alone but because we civil servants are not
legally allowed to operate
foreign account and it would eventually raise eyebrows on our side during the
time of transfer because we are
staff of the bank. These are the actual reasons it requires a second fellow who
will forward claims by
our support as the bona-fide next-of-kin with Togolaise court affidavit to the
bank and also present
a foreign bank account where the money on his/her request will be re-transferred
into.

On conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% of the total sum
as gratification, 5%
of the total sum will be used to reimburse expenses that might arise from
telephone bills and other
expenses during the transaction, while 70% will be for me and my partners here.
Please you have been advised
to keep this information as 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. We
will then come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according
to the percentages
previously indicated and for investment in any country you may advise us too.

All other necessary 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, through e-mail or phone.

Yours faithfully,

Dr. George Kosssi
Director, Audit and Accounts Unit,
Foreign Remittance Dept., Union Togolaise de Banque
B.P. 359 Lome, Republic of Togo, West Africa.
Phone : 00228-079084
 
just a wannabe professional spam. i've gotten that one 5 times now, from 5 different Togolaise business consultants....just delete it. i only know three people in africa. none of them have regular access to a computer.
 
this is definitely a scam originating in nigeria , if you phone up you will get the to whichever government department the letter says and all the references you want will check out , you will be asked for money , and then a little more and so on but never receive a penny they are reported EVERYDAY in england. IT IS do to the number of nigerians in europe [especially great britain on business] . some people have been known to lose hundreds of thousands .
STAY WELL CLEAR!!!
 
BIG SCAM IN PROGRESS

dont fall for it.
it should be reported to the authorities for investigating.
your local police should be interested in it or will be able to tell you who to report it to.
probably FBI or INTERPOL i would imagine.
