My dear good friend,
I am OLU PETERS, credit officer with the FINANCE COMPANY here in
COTONOU REPUBLIC DU BENIN i came to know you through my private search for
a
reliable and reputable person to handle this confidential transaction of
a huge amount
to foreign account requiring maximum confidence.
A foreigner, an American, Late Engr.John Creek(snr)An oil merchant with
the Federal Government du Benin until his death 2001 in the Kenya Air Bus
(A310-300)flight kq430, banked with us at FINANCECOMPANY, and had a closing
balance as at the end of september,2000,worth us$14,000,000(FORTEEN million
United States Dollars),the SECUIRTY COMPANY is now expects his next of
kin to come and claim his money as the beneficiary.
Valuable efforts are being made by the FINANCE COMPANY to get in touch with
any of the Creek's family or relatives but to no avail. It is because of
the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any of Late Engr John
Creek (snr)'s next of kin (he had no wife or children that is known to us).
The management under the influence of our chairman and members of the board
of directors, have made arrangements for the fund to be declared "Unclaimed???
and subsequently be donated to the trust fund for arms and ammunition to
further enhance the course of war in Africa.
However, In order to avert this negative development, some of my trusted
colleagues and I, now seek your permission to have you stand as next of
kin to late Engr John Creek (snr) so that the fund US$14,000,000 will be
released and transferred into your account as the beneficiary.
All documents and proofs to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked
out. We have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any
of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so, we are assuring you that this
business is 100% risk free involvement. Your share remains while the rest
will be for myself and my colleagues for investment purposes anywhere according
to agreement between both parties.
As soon as we receive an acknowledgement of the receipt of this our mutual
business proposal, we would furnish you with the necessary disbursement
ratio to suite both parties without conflict. If this proposal is acceptable
by you, do not hesitate to contact me fast.
Best regards,
OLU PETERS
Credit Officer.
N/B.
