FROM THE DESK OF MRS. MAGRET GEORGE
BANK OF AFRICA BENIN,(B.A.B)
BENIN REPUBLIC COTONOU-WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
I am a staff of Bank of Africa benin, in the file/computer deptment I got
your contact through Name directory so i decide to contact you on this business
opportunity.In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $20m US dollars
(twenty Million US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customer Mr.Edmund dyck from mississippi who died along with his entire
family on 25th December 2003 in a plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, I have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because The management of this bank
cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately
we learnt that all his family died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim.hence my reason in contacting to stand
as the next of kin,i will assist you to present every proof document which
will help you to execut this money.It is therefore upon this discovery that
I decided to make this businness proposal to you.
The bank will release this 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 I don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
Bill.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Beninois cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 40 % of this money will be for you
as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10
% will be set aside for expenses incured during the business. The 10 % will
go back to you after the transaction.and 50 % would be for me. There after
I will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,you
must apply first to the bank as next of kin of the deceased indicating your
bank name, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by 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 . Please, reply this
letter to my alternative e-mail address:
magret3011@yahoo.com
Awaiting your most urgent response!
Yours faithfully,
Mrs.magret George.
