Dear Friend.
My Name is Mr.Frank Peters of Finance Trust House here in Cotonou Republic
Du Benin. In my department i discovered an abandoned sum of US$20M dollars
(Twenty Million US dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with
his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash.
Below is a website i will apprecaite you take a look on.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of the above mentioned
person extended relatives, this has also proved abortive.
Now the reason while of contacting you is base on trust to enable me present
you as the next of kin so that this fund will be released to you as the
next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and note it will be very easy to convince
the bank since I have the necessary legalised documents to backup the claim.
I have all necessary legal documents that will prove you the rightful next-of-kinof
our late customer.
I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Five years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury
as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business
is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Indigen
here cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision
of a foriegn account , 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business,another 5% to help the less previlage and to assist the charity
organisations here in Africa and abroad while the rest 60% would be for
me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this
fund to you arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relation 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 as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Frank Peters.
