DEAR FRIEND,
I am ELDER BENJAMIN COLE, Auditor, with Accounting Department,Ecobank here
in Cotonou, Benin Republic. I got your very good name and e-mail address
from the online classified on the net.I have decided to contact you purely
on the personal conviction of trust and cofidence that we can co-operate
with one another and do a very lucrative business for our mutual benefit.
The Business I am proposing to you is in respect of the sum of US$11,183,000.00(Eleven
Million One Hundred and Eighty-Three Thousand United States Dollars Only)deposited
in Dollar account with my bank which belonged to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim
who died on 25th July,2000 in a plane crash,he is an Engineering contractor.
My bank has made several efforts at contacting the family of Mohamed Saleh
Ibrahim or his relatives, but all have proved abortive as he had no identifiable
kin\'s men.
This sum of US$11.183M has remained lunclaimed ever since then and nobody
has come forward as his next of kin. The management under the influence
of our chairman and member of the board of directors has made an arrangement
for the fund to be declared \'UNCLAIMABLE\' and subsequently be turned to
the reserve account of the bank. It is against the background of the foregoing,
that one of my colleague and myself in the bank have decided to contact
you for assistance and partnership, for you to stand as the next of kin
to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim.
With your permission this fund will be transferred to your private account
abroad as the beneficiary and next of kin to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim. All
proof of claim and necessary documentation will be carefully worked out
in your favour and we assure you of 100% risk free involvement and protection.
Consequently, if you find this proposal acceptable to you and you wish to
assist us, I expect your urgent response and upon receipt of that,we shall
discuss and agree on the disbursement and sharing ratio. Let me therefore
expect your very urgent response through my phone,Please endeavour to include
your private phone and fax number and also your banking particulars and
your full name and address.Please keep our dealings very private and confidential.
As I await your urgent response. Please kindly reply to letter and as well
state your wish in this deal .
Thank you and best regards
Yours Faithfully,
