I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you as a result
of what I presently have at hand. On 25th December 2003,mine husband Mr.Abdullah
Hashem with mine only daughter was among the plane crash victims of Boeing
727-type, Air plane of African Transport Union (UTA) crashed on 25th
December 2003 at the Fidjrosse beach Cotonou Republic of Benin.

110 persons died, the Beirut-bound flight victims are mostly Lebanese nationals
and few westerners. Over 40 others still reported missing, while 22 passengers
survived,you may confirm the event of the air crash through(www.google.com)
and search with the subject:PLANE CRASH IN BENIN 2003.

He has an account in (HARMONY BANK OF BENIN PLC) that would soon be converted
to the Bank's asset base because nobody has come for the claims of this
huge hard currency,ofwhich this account have been kept secreet by my late

my late husband Hashem will be remitted to your account as his Next of
Kin,note that my request of your help in this transaction is occasioned
by the fact that my late husband (HASHEM) is a foreigner and l am from seareloen,and
it is in accordance with the banking laws that only a foreigner can stand
as the next of kin to a foreigner, then we can share the amount on a mutually
agreed percentage or we invest it to any lucrative business in your country.

All I require from you is your honest co-operation and trust to enable us
see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
