From: Mr.Pascal Kouame.
Staff, Bill and Exchange Foreign Remmittance Department.
Continental Trust Bank, Cotonou,Republic of Benin.
Good Day.
With good purpose of heart, I write to seek for your
co operation and assistance to secure a financial deposit made by one of
our late customers.
I am Mr.Pascal Kouame. a staff in bill and exchange at foreign remittance
department of "Continental Trust bank Cotonou, Republic of Benin, In my
Department, I discovered an abandoned sum of $11.2 milion US dollars in
an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with
his family on the 25th of December 2003 in a plane crash here in Cotonou
Republic of Benin. Since we 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
unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died
alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claims.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to contact you with this
proposal, so that you will be presented as the next of kin to the dead customer,for
the release of the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased
and also for safety and subsequent disbursement between you and I, since
no body is coming forth and I don't want this money to go into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill. According to our banking policies and guideline
here which stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after five years,
the money will automatically be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Beninoise cannot stand
as next of kin to a foreigner. However, your compensation for this noble
assistance will be negotiated upon your acceptance to help me as a foreign
partner, since you are to provide an account for the claim.
Meanwhile,10% will be set aside for reimbursement of any expenses made by
you and me during the curse of the transaction. Thereafter I will visit
your Country for disbursement according to the percentages agreed.Therefore
to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased
indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone
and fax number for easier and effective communication and location where
the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text
of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction
is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements have been made for the transfer and the file of the
fund is under my desk.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Your's faithfully,
Mr.Pascal Kouame.
