NIGERIAN SCAM LETTER FROM

DR. JOHN TARAWARLLY

 

From:Dr.JOHN TARAWARLLY
Director:International Remittance
Department of Foreign
Exchange Operations
International Bank of Africa
20 reu de commerce BP 3302
Lome - Togo

PLEASE TREAT AS ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENTIAL

Dear Sir,

My name is Dr John Tarawarlly I am one of the Senior Managers in the bank I work for (International Bank of Africa Plc Lome Togo) and I work under the Director of Foreign Exchange Operations(International Remittance).

I am contacting you presently because I need your urgent assistance in a business transaction that will be of immense benefit to both of us. I have the immediate need to transfer some money that has long been declared _UNCLAIMED_ by the Chairman and some members of the board of directors of our bank.

The money is the closing balance of one of our best customers ever,Late Engr. Temcoson Brown, I was his personal account officer just before he died in the ADC plane crash of 1997 in Abidjan. Engr. Temcoson Brown an Japanese citizen was a contractor with the Federal Government of Togo,he supplied and installed equipment and his company Creek Contractors completed some of the best construction contracts in the country. His closing balance in the bank, (US$25.5m)has been tagged unclaimed because no relative of Engr. Temcoson Brown has come forward to make a statement of claim. We have no knowledge of a next of kin. At this point I trust you can picture what the situation is like. We have strong proof that the chairman and the board of directors will keep most of the money for themselves and donate the remainder to a discredited military trust here in Togo. This invariably is an attempt to infuse more money into the acquisition of military equipment (arms and ammunition) for use in an already prostrate Africa. This of course, is senseless, hence my mission.My colleagues and my self have made several attempts at locating persons that could be remotely related to Engr. Temcoson Brown and we have been doing this for about 4 years now.

Right now I am almost alone in this enterprise and I have presently decided on moving the money to a foreign account. I am hereby soliciting your assistance and I will be very grateful if you will be willing to help in this regard. My colleagues and I have worked out a plan to handle this transaction in carefully followed stage. You will help us by providing a safe bank account into which the money will be paid and you will stand, as a next of kin of Engr. Temcoson Brown I will provide you with answers to security question, which you will have to answer. I will also provide you answers to questions that only a person related to him will know. There will be no need for you to appear here in Togo if you follow my instructions closely.

Every thing should be concluded on telephone and fax between you and the bank. For your participation you will be commensurately compensated.We will discuss the compensation among other primary details. I make this proposal in trust and in good faith, therefore,if you are interested and you agree to assist me then
contact me immediately you receive this email, there is a lot more to talk about. If you are not interested, then, please, do get rid of this email and please
forgive me if this message has upset you in anyway.

Please send me an email on receipt of this message for more information.


Thank you and best regards.

Dr JOHN TARAWARLLY
