FROM:George Collins
GLOBAL BANK OF BENIN,
REPUBLIC DE BENIN
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable me
carry out an urgent business Opportunity in my department. I work with
the GLOBAL BANK OF BENIN ; currently I am in charge of bills and
exchange at the foreign remittance department of my bank. I was the
account officer to one Mr & Mrs Green who worked wtih Chevron Oil
company ,Who died along with his wife in the December 25th, 2003 Air
Crash in Benin Republic.
He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of $15.5
million(Fifteen million five hundred thousand USA Dollars).Since the
management got the information of his death we have been expecting any
of his relation or his next of kin to come up and claim his money.
Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time of this letter
none of his relation or friends has come up for the claim.The banking
and financial law of GLOBAL BANK OF BENIN stipulates that if such fund
remained unclaimed after a period of (24) months it will be lost to
the bank as unclaimed deposit.
On this note, I now decided to do business with you and release the
money to you as the next of kin to the deceased for subsequent
disbursement among us. I will soon proceed for my retirement leave,
and I personally do not want this fund to be lost to the bank. That is
why I wanted the fund to be move out of the bank before I proceed on
my retirement from the banking services.
The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Beninnois will not
perfectly fit in as his next of kin or heir. I have agreed that 30% of
the Fund would be for you as foreign partner, thereafter I will visit
your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated
account, you would have to fill the bank application form for such
claim as the next of kin to the deceased. There you will designate
your bank account where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of
your mail indicating your interest, I will send to you a copy of the
application form and the Account/ Deceased information you would need
to fill it.Send your direct Fax and telephone numbers for effective
communication that this transaction needs. Please note that you are
not to appear in person, as every thing regarding this project will be
strictly handled by a lawyer and every banking documents needed for
this transaction will be taken care of by lawyer.
PLEASE VIEW THE WEBSITE.
