FROM THE DIRECTOR
AUDIT AND ACCOUNTS UNIT,
CREDIT BANK COT0NOU,
REPUBLIC OF BENIN
WEST AFRICA.
TEL: +229-459088
STRICTLY PERSONAL & CONFIDENTIAL
----------------------------------
With due honour and respect ,I am Vincent Nze,the director in charge of
audit and account unit, CREDIT BANK, COTONOU, REPUBLIC OF BENIN IN WEST
AFRICA.
I got your information through my good friend who works with chamber of
commerce on foreign business relations here in Cotonou-Benin.
During our auditing and investigations in this bank,my department came across
the sum of SIX MILLION,FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS(US$6,520,000.00)only
belonging to a Sweedish international business man who died along with his
family on the 01 FEB 1997 in a plane crash, the aircraft name is Hawker
Siddeley HS-748-353 Srs. 2A
This crash happened in Tambacounda (Senegal) in Africa, and the registration
number of the aircraft is 6AV-AEO.
Before our discovery of this development,there was no trace of claim from
any person as the fund remains dormant in his account with this bank. Although
,I keep this information secret whitin my jurisdiction to enable us put
claims and transfer the said amount through a trustworthy friend overseas
whom we shall present to the bank as the bonafide next-of-kin to the deceased
for a profittable and successful deal.
Meanwhile, all the arrangments to put claims as the bonafide next of kin
to the deceased,to get the required approval and transfer of this money
to a foreign account has been put in place.
The directives and the needed information will be relayed to you as soon
as you indicate your intrest and willingness. Infact, we could have done
this deal alone but because as civil servants we are not legally allowed
to operate foreign account; and it would eventually raise an eyebrow on
our side during the time of transfer because we are staff of the bank.
These are the actual reasons why it requires a second-fellow who will forward
claims by our support as the bonafide next-of-kin with beninoise court affidavit
to the bank and also present a foreign bank account where the money will
be re-transfered into.
On conclusion of this transsaction, you will be entitled to 25% of the total
sum as gratification, 5%of the total sum will be used to reinburse expenses
that might arise from telephone bills and other expenses during the transaction,
while 70% will be for me and my partners here.
Please you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service
and intend to retire from service after we conclude this with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account. We then come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to the percentages indicated above, and for
investment in any country you may advice us to invest.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible, stating your wish .
REPLY ASAP.
With regards,
Vincent Nze.
