Dear friend,

I am Mr richard.a worker 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 to contact you on a
business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of
the transaction.We had a foreign client Mr John Schelpert who deposited a huge
sum of money (US$8.5million) with our Company.Eventually, this client was among
the victims of EGYPT AIR BOEING 767 FLIGHT NO.990 that crashed on the 31-10-1999
in U.S.A but, since then we have not had any body coming for the claims as the
next of kin. A sitaution I have monitored closely with my position inthe
Company.Now, having monitored this deposit and managed it over the years before
hisdeath, and hence nobody has showed up as the next of kin for the past one
year plus, I have removed the file to my private volt. I now solicit for your
assistance to present you as the next of kin as every other arrangement has
being concluded by me and I am only waiting for a foreigner to enable me move
the fund to his account.
This does not have any risk attached to it as all the internal
documentations will be handled by me. I therefore request you to confirm
yourinterest by a return message and I will furnish you with details.
Your interest will be negotiable before we commence the operation.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

MR RICHARD UROMI.
