Dearest: Friend,
My Name is Mr.Ruben Moussa a credit officer with the one of the leading
Bank (Finance Trust House) here in Cotonou Republic Du Benin. In my department
i discovered an abandoned sum of US$32m dollars (Thrity Two Million US
dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreigncustomer (MR. ANDREAS
SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in
July 2000 in a plane crash.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since i got information about his death, I have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his
supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery
that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the
money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want
this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Five years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury
as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business
is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Indigene
cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision
of a foriegn account , 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business,another 5% to help the less previlage and to assist the charity
organisations here in Africa and abroad while the rest 60% would be for
me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the
percentage indicated .
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged,you
must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased
indicating.
1.Your full name and address
2.Your telephone and fax number for easy communication.
3.Your bank details.
4.Your company's name and address.
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 you 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.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Ruben Moussa
