Greetings to you,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but Ibelieve it is only
a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. My
name is Mr. Fachonou Remy, An Accountant working in a bank here in Republic
de Benin West Africa.I write you this proposal in good faith, believing
that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you. Like
I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance
is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last December
I was transfer to one of our Bank branch in Cotonou who passed on, so that
was how I became the present head accountant in the bank , during when I
was auditing
all the account and I discovered a fortune .As I resumed duty, I discovered
an account with total sum of $25.5million that has not been operated on
for the past some years. From my investigation, I found out that this account
belongs to one Late Mr.Bunten, Wendy, U.S.big time Oil dealer, who
unfortunately lost his life in Korean Air Flight 801, which crashed in Guam
on Wednesday August 6,1997 You will read more about the site;

I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has
come forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr Bunten Wendy.
meaning that no one is aware of the account. I cannot directly take out
this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting
you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the head
accountant bank my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release
of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account,
with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give
you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state howyou wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact
me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together,
so we can go over the details.
Thanking you in advance and may God bless you.Please, treat with utmost
confidentiality. I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
Fachonou Remy
