My Dear ,
I am MR ROBERT KUKU I work with the INTERNATIONAL BANK OF
AFRICA(IBA) in Cotonou Benin republic. It is my wish to
solicite your assistance in a business transaction that
will be a benefit to you and i.
During our investigation and auditing in the bank, my
apartment 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.
Please visit the plane crash website to notify and prove
what i am saying
(<http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html>)
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 roblem.
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 dueverification 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 .

86 79 54) immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
