Hello Friend,
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature being utterly confidential and top secret.
We have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have been reliably informed of your discretness, trustworthy and ability to carry out legitimate business.
THE PROPOSITION: A foreigner and a Japanese, Late Mr Paul Dumas . an Oil merchant with the Federal Government of benin republic, until his death on 30th January, 2000 WITH EGYPTIAN AIRLINE 1990.AS YOU CAN COMFIRM IT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS WEDSITE.
(www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html).He banked with us at ECOBANK INTERNATIONAL LOME TOGO and had a closing balance of US$10,500,000.00 (Ten Milion, Five hundred thousand United States Dollars Only) as at the end of September, 2000. Valuable efforts are being made by the UTB Bank Plc to get in touch with any of the Creek's family or relative, but to no avail.
The only Next of Kin address that was given to ECOBANK by Late Mr Paul Dumas was at Sierra Loene, West Africa, in the person of Mrs. Mabel Brain.
However, the said address was destroyed during the last rebel crisis in Sierra Leone and the woman was reportedly killed together with other United Nations Officials.
It is because of the perceived impossibility of locating a relative of the Late Mr Paul Dumas (he had neither a wife nor children) that the Pacific International Bank Plc is making plans to ceed the said amount to the Defence Ministry for the procurement of weapons of war.
In order to avert this ugly situation, few of my colleagues and I have decided to contact you and seek your permission to have you stand as Next of Kin to Mr Paul Dumas so that the total amount of US$10.5Million Dollars will be processed and released in your favour into your personal account.
All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out. We have secured from the probate, an order of Madamus, to locate any of the deceased family also the fund would be in your account for safe custody, pending my coming over to meet with you, and probably future investment purpose in your country.
As soon as we receive an acknowledgement of your willingness to accept our proposal, we shall furnish you with further details as we concluded all arrangements to have the money transferred to you within 10 working days from the date of commencement.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, then furnish us with your most confidential telephone or fax numbers including the details of the receiving account immediately, at which time an application for the fund release will be forwarded in your favour.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
Best Regards,
Mr Alex Ogene
