RE:TRANSFER OF (USD 45 MILLION
In order to transfer out (USD 45 MILLION) Forty Five
million United States Dollars) from B.I.BE. I have
the courage to ask for your assistance to handle
this important and confidential business believing
that you will never let me down either now or in
future. I am Barrister ANDY EZE.attorney to Late
paulton Allen a foreigner and an Engineer with Atlas
Engineering Co.Late paulton Allens has an account
with B.I.BE. which he set up in 1980.He died in 1990
in an auto crash in Benin,I received a memo early
this year from the international remittance unit of
B.I.BE for an interview,The Bank informed me on
their policy to Freeze the account and redirect the
funds back to government treasury because they saw
no next of kin in Paulton Allens entire file Except
me as his attorney but not his inheritor He said it
is the Central Bank Regulations and the I.D.B policy
on dormant account for the period of ten years as
the policy says that such fund should be forfeited
to government treasury .
After scrutinizing his entire file within my Chamber
i discovered that he had no next of kin in his
entire file with us too On that issue i opened up to
the manager on my intention to move the funds for
investments abroad. He then adviced me to look for a
foreigner because Paulton Allens is not a citizen of
Benin,And he told me that the fund will be processed
as a contract sum in the name of the new
benficiary,the deposit was contract sum paid into
late paultons account on the order of the Federal
Ministry of finance to the Central Bank. I am
contacting you because of the need to involve a
foreigner with foreign account as the foreign
beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make
this transaction work. All i need from you is your
full name and address,including your bank account
informations where the funds will be processed into.
i will also need your telephone and fax numbers for
oral communications too. We can sign a binding
agreement between us and i will suggest we scan
copies of our international pasport or drivers
license as a form of security between us.I have
resolved to share the money in this ratio.50% for
me,35% for you ,15% for the remittance manager in
the bank and 5% for expences we might incurre in the
processing of this transaction.I will come over to
your country for sharing and investements as soon as
you confirm the funds in your account.
The entire details of this transaction and all the
role you are required to play , i will send to you
on your positive response to this mail.
regards
ANDY EZE.ESQ
