Auditing And Accounts Manager,
Lloyds Tsb Bank-(TSB/CTB).
Republique Du Benin.
Phone : + 229 74 09 87.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE.
Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day. I decided to contact you after I received your information
on my quest for a VIP partner for this business.Hence I confide in you.
I am Mr Thomas J.Franklin,from (Lloyds Tsb Bank).During the course of our
auditing we discovered the sum of US$10,800,000.00(Ten Million Eight Hundred
Thousand Dollars) floating in an account opened in this Bank since 1997
and as from 2001 nobody has operated on this account again, and after going
through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the
account died without a [HEIR]sept11th 2001 by plane crash, hence the money
is floating.
After due verification I noticed that no other person knows about this account
except his wife who was also invovled in the crash, and the account has
no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that until
his death he was the Director GOLD ARK [SARL].
Since our bank,(Lloyds Tsb Bank)Benin Rep.got informations about his death,we
have been expecting his next of kin to come forward and claim his money
because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin
or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and policies
but up to date nobody came up to this bank as his next of kin or relative.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department
now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money
to you as the next of kin or elation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming forth and we don't want this money to
go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next
of kin as no one has come up as his relation. And the country law here does
not allow such money to stay more than Five years, for the money will be
recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this period.
Upon the receipt of your response, I will send to you the application form,bank's
contacts and the next step to take.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free
and that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer
can be finalized in not less than fourteen banking days, after you must
have applied to the bank as a relation to the deceased.
It has been resolved that 30% will be for you while 10% has been maped out
to defray any expences that might be incured during the process of the transaction,Then
60% will be for me which shall be release after the funds must have been
remitted into your bank account.
When you receive this letter,kindlycall me and also send me an e-mail signifying
your decision,Including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication.
I will be very happy if you can treat this business with the utmost secrecy
it demands because of my position in this bank.
For confidentiality reasons, kindly call me on my direct line and also reply
only to my private Email: john_fthomas@yahoo.com
Hoping for a very successful business relationship with you.
Best Regards,
Mr Thomas J.Franklin.
