FROM DESK OF MR. AHMED ZAFA
ARAB BANK BENIN (ABB),
ACCOUNTING & AUDITING DEPARTMENT
COTONOU REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
TEL:+229-769-894
E-mail(zabb_arabbank@myway.com)
Dear Friend,
(CONFIDENTIAL)
I am MR.AHMED ZAFA, the director in charge of auditing and
accounting section of ARAB BANK COTONOU REPUBLIC OF BENIN in West
Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you
on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of
us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department
came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person
who died on October 31st 2001 in a fierceful Auto-Crash along
Midombo Togo express way with his family and the fund has been
dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund
in our custody either from his family or relation before our
discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep 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 U.S $10.7m (Ten
Million Seven hundred Thousand United States dollars).
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 a foreign account has been put in place
and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as
soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and
also benefit your self to this great business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my
position in this country as a civil servant(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 with affidavit of
trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where
he will need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as
it may be after due verification and clarification by the
correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be
remitted from to your own designation bank account.
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 5% will be
set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time
of transfer and also telephone bills, while 65% will be for me.
Please, you have been adviced to keep "top secret" as I am still in
service and intend to retire from service after I conclude this
deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this 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 country you advice us to invest in. All other
necessary vital 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
in this deal. You can contact me on my private email
address:(zabb_arabbank@myway.com)
I look forward to your urgent reply.
Yours faithfully,
MR. AHMED ZAFA
URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED PLS.
