Subject: URGENT COOPERATION NEEDED

Attn:Good Friend,
I am James Kerekou , the director in charge of auditing
and accounting section of Banque Generale Du
Togolaise,Cotonou Branch in Republic of Benin in West Africa.
With due respect,I have decided to contact you on a
business transaction that will be very beneficial to both
of us at the end of the transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank,
my department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to a deceased person who died on March, 2000 in a plane crash
and the fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank
without any claim of the fund either from his family or
relation before we discovered that he died along with his
entire family.
Personally, I and my collegues have kept this discovery
secret for smooth execution. The said amount was U.S $16.4M
(Sixteen million, Four Hundred thousand United States
Dollars). As it may interest you to know, I got your
impressive information through my good friends who
works with chamber of commerce on foreign business
relations here in Cotonou- Benin. It is him who recommended your person to me
to be viable and capable to champion a business of such
magnitude without any
problem.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over
this fund in your favour as the bonafide "Next of Kin" to
the deceased,get the required approval and transfer this money
to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and
needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your
self in this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but would
eventually raise an eye brow time of transfer for a
Beninoeus to stand as a next of kin to a foreign customer. This is the actual
reason why it will require a foreign partner who will forward claims
as the "Next of Kin" to the Bank and also present a foreign account
where you will need the money to be remited by the Correspondent Branch in
charge of foreign remittance.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is
100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction,
you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum for your
participation while the remaining 70% will be for me and my collegues in this
operation. Please, you have been adviced to keep this
business confidentially as we are still in service and intend to
retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole transaction here in the bank
until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to
come down to your country for sharing of the fund according
to percentages and subsequent investment either in your
country or any country as you may advise. All other necessary vital
information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I look forward to hear from you .
Yours faithfully,
Mr James Kerekou
