Dear,
Please i will like you to see this as a deal between you
and i,please may you advise me on how we can go on this
deal.
My name is MR.PAUL NEDU. I am the credit officer of a Bank
here in cotonou benin Republic. I have an urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you.
In June, 1999, a German property consultant and
importer of used cars ,Mr Andreas Schranner made a (Fixed)
Deposit of US$10,000,000.00(Ten Million
United States Dollars only) in my bank. It was to
our utter suprise that we heard of his death, wife and
children in an AF4590 plane crash in July 2000. See
this website below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
On further investigation,I found out that he died
without making a WILL, and hitherto, all attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless. Mr Andreas
Schranner was residing at No 1 Rue de Avenida, G.R.A.
Cotonou, Benin Republic.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr Andreas Schranner did not declare any next of kin
or
relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
(US$10,000,000.00) is still sitting in my
Bank.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin or business
partner to Mr Andreas Schranner so that
the fruits of this old man's labor will not be in vain.
Your role in this deal is to send an application for claim
of the funds to our bank. Then, as a top officer in the
bank, I shall work behind-the-scene to make sure that your
application is approved by the management of the bank, and
the funds transfered to your nominated bank
account, rather than allow the bank directors to share this
money
amongst them at the end of this year. I agree that 30% of
this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of
a foriegn account , 10% will be set aside for expenses
incurred during the business and 60% would be for me.
Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the
percentage indicated. If you are interested, please reply
immediately for more informations on my personal email
address (pnedu20042000@yahoo.ca) as soon as possible
Do not take undue advantage of the trust I have
bestowed in you just be honest with me please.
Regards,
PAUL NEDU..
