Dear Friend,
I am MR ALIBRANKA KAN, I work with the INERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA(IBA)
in Cotonou Benin republic. It is my wish to solicite your assistance in
a business transaction that will be of benefit to you and I.
During our investigation and auditing in the bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased customer of the
bank HAJI EL JAMAL ZOUE, a citizen of Lebanon who died on the recent
plane crash in Cotonou Benin republic on the 26th of Dec. 2003.
Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself to
enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the
time of execution.The said amount was USD$18.5m( Eighteen million Five
hundred thousand united states dollars). As it may intrest you to know.
I got your contact through my country chamber of commerce and
international relations here in Cotonou Benin Rep.
I believe you will be able and capable to champion a business of such
magnitude without any problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to
put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get
the required approval and transfer this money to your account if you
indicate your intrest has been made by me.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a banker,we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of
transfer because I work in this bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow
who will forward claims as the next of kin to the bank and also present
a foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transfered into
on his request as it may be after due verification and clarification by
bank officails.
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 as gratification, while 10% will be set aside to take
care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer while the
remaining 60% will be for me and my family.
Please,you have been advised to keep business as a secret between you
and i for i am still in service and intend to retire from service after
i conclude this deal with you.
As soon as you confirm to me your willingness to assit me in this
bussiness i will send to you the deceased bank account informations and
Application which you will apply to the bank for inward transfer of this
fund to your account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank until you
confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country
for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously
indicated and further investment,either in your country or any other
country you may advice us to invest in.
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 on my private mobile number ( 00229 86 79 54)
immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you
immediately,Alternative email/
alibraka_kan@yahoo.fr
Awaiting you urgent reply.
