Subject: I Need your co-peration
From Mr.Pascal Kouame.
Internal auditor in 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-peration and assistance
to secure a financial deposit made by one of our late customers.
I am Mr.Pascal Kouame, Internal auditor in bill and exchange 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. unfortunately he died in the
Plane crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight Boeing 727 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 the bank 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 along side 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.
