Dear friend ,

I am mrs grace,the manager in charge of auditing and accounting unit foreign remittance department in a bank here in Lome Togo in west Africa.

With due respect and regards I have decided to contact 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 the bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person, a foriegner who died in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant
in his account with the bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before my discovery to this development,Although personally, I kept this information secrete within myself and  to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution.

The amount involved is $9M US Dollars ( NINE MILLION US DOLLARS).Meanwhile, all the whole arrangement and directives needed to put claim over this fund as the next of kin to the deceased, Upon your acceptance all the information will be forward to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me 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,we are not allowed to operate a foriegn 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 foriegn account where you will need the said fund to be transferred into, after due verification and clarification to designated bank account.

We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60 % would be for  me. There after I  will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin
of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your
private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted .

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer .
You should contact me immediately if you are interested and ready to transact with me. Then I will request for some vital information  from you first before we could proceed. In your reply do remember to include your full name and your direct Telephone/Fax number for easy communications between us.

Please you have been adviced to keep top secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this deal with you, I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down there for subsequent shearing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further
investment,either in your country or any other country you may advice me to invest in.

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.

Waiting for your soonest response, please reply at
Yours faithfully,
 mrs  grace

As with all Spam, you need to have a spam filter running to capture an filter these mail out of your inbox.

I use gmail and it captures most of the 419 scam type of mails. There is a whole range of different services available which can do this for you.
