BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER,
BOND BANK OF BENIN
(BBB) WEST AFRICA
Tel no 00229-95-061092
PRIVATE MAIL: drthenry003@yahoo.com
Dear Friend
With due respect and humility, I write to you this proposal. I am the
manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of (BBB)
BOND BANK OF BENIN
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of U.S$18.5M US dollars
(Eighteen million five hundred thousand united states dollar only).In an
account that belongs to Mr Burke Sean a United States Citizen and
(BBB)foreign customer who died in tragic plane crash of Union Transport
Africaines Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou, Benin republic on the December 25,
2003.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come forward and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines and policies but unfortunately we learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
Tragic Plane Crash Centre leaving nobody behind for the claims. It is
therefore upon this discovery that I have decided to make this business
proposal to you to transact this DEAL with you and to act as the next of kin
or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since
nobody is coming forth and l don't want this money to go into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill.
According to our Banking policies and guideline here which stipulates that
if such money remained unclaimed after six years, the money will
automatically be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. My
request for a foreigner to act as next of kin in this business is by the
fact that the customer was a foreigner and a citizen of this country cannot
stand or put claims as next of kin to a foreigner.
l agreed to offer 25% of the total fund to you, for your assistance, to act
as the next of Kin to the foreigner, to provide account, 5% will be for
reimbursement of any expenses incurred during the curse of the transaction.
There after, I and my family will visit your country for disbursement and
for investment in your country. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer
of this fund to you as 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 easier and
effective communication and location where the money will be transfer.
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 y ou 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.
Hope to hear from you immediately.
For privacy please reply to : drthenry003@yahoo.com
Yours faithfully,
Dr Tunde Henry
