STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE
Dear friend.
Compliments of the day. I deceided to contact you after I received a worthy
information about your reliability and honesty. Hence I confide in you.
I am Dr Andolos Tony ,from (African Development Bank),Republic of Benin.During
the course of our auditing we discovered the sum of twelve million five
hundred thousand united states dollars (USD$12.500.000.00) 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]sept
11th 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 untill
his death he was the Director GOLD ARK [SARL]Since our bank,(African Development
Bank)Benin Rep.got information 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 contact 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 within fourteen
banking days, after you apply 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, kindly
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
reply to my private Email: drandolostony@zwallet.com
Hoping for a very successful business relationship with you.
Best Regards,
Engr Dr Andolos Tony
