I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable me carry out an urgent business Opportunity in my Bank. I was the account officer to Mr Jayson Taylor who ownes Multi-national Group of Companies within the West African Sub-Region but unfortunately died along with his wife in the December 25th, 2003 Air Crash,via a Beirut-bound jet that crashed on takeoff from Benin Republic killing 111 on Board http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html He left in his fixed-deposit account the total sum of $9.7 million(Nine Million Seven Hundred Thousand US Dollars).Since the management of the bank got the information of his death we have been expecting any of his relation or his next of kin to come but his next of kin being his wife died along with him and since his death none of his relation or friends has come up for the claim.

I will direct you on how to apply to the legal department of Ecowas Bank Ltd and effect repatriation of the funds left behind by late Jayson Taylor before they get confiscated or declared unservicable by the bank.For immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated account kindly revert back to me as soon as possible to enable me commence my home work down here as quickly as possible.
