Greetings,

It is with my utmost sincererity that I am writing this mail to you.  I got your contact through the international directory at the Togolaise Chamber of Commerce and I decided to contact you as most capable to handle this business transaction. I was formerly an accountant general with the former late General Sani Abacha's company in Lome Togo Please you must keep this business as a top secret to your good self.
 
During my tenure in office as the accountant general to the late former head of state General Sani Abacha, he deposited with my name the sum of Twenty three million five hundred and fifty thousand United States
Dollars ($23,550,000.00) cash with the Global Security company in Togo. Immediately I heard of his death, I quickly took away the certificate of deposit which was issued to me by the security company. 
 
I have gone for the money and was told by the managing director of the Security Company that I can only collect the money in their offshore office abroad. It was in this respect I wanted you to stand as the beneficiary to claim/collect this money on my behalf from the security company and we can use it for viable investments in your country before I join you in your country as a future business partner. I plan to invest this funds into a good profitable business with you in your country as my technical partner.
 
As regarding my present financial position, coupled with unstable political situation here which placed very harsh restriction on travel outside the country, I will not be in a better position to travel out for now till until such a time when the restrictions are relaxed, and I will be able to buy my way out.
 
What I now want you to do for me are as follows:

(1) You should travel to secure the funds on my behalf and deposit it in a bank account or your bank account in your country, pending further instructions from me. 

(2) I will need you to please assist in settling the demurrage on the vault as soon as you arrive there. 

(3) I will be willing to give you 15% of the total amount as your commission for your assistance. This amount is however open for negotiation if you feel that 15% will not be enough for you. If you accept this my business proposal to you, I would like you to indicate your interest by sending to me the reply through my e-mail address
 
Your immediate response will facilitate this business transaction and I look forward to having a good business relationship with you. 
 
Best regards,
Mr. James Koffi
