Dear Friend,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust
to enable me carry out an urgent business Opportunity
in my department. I work with the GLOBAL BANK PLC
BENIN ; currently I am in charge of bills and exchange
at the foreign remittance department of my bank. I was
the account officer to one Mr & Mrs MARKUS who worked
wtih Chevron Oil company ,Who died along with his wife
in the December 25th, 2003 Air Crash in Benin
Republic.
He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of
$15.5 million(Fifteen million five hundred thousand
USA Dollars).Since the management got the information
of his death we have been expecting any of his
relation or his next of kin to come up and claim his
money.
Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time
of this letter none of his relation or friends has
come up for the claim.The banking and financial
law of GLOBAL BANK PLC BENIN stipulates that if such
fund remained unclaimed after a period of (18) months
it will be lost to the bank as unclaimed deposit.
On this note, I now decided to do business with you
and release the money to you as the next of kin to the
deceased for subsequent disbursement among
us.I will soon proceed for my retirement leave, and I
personally do not want this fund to be lost to the
bank. That is why I wanted the fund to be move out of
the bank before I proceed on my retirement from the
banking services.
The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this
project is occasioned by the fact that the customer
was a foreigner and a Beninnois will not perfectly
fit in as his next of kin or heir. I have agreed that
30% of the Fund would be for you as foreign partner,
thereafter I will visit your country for disbursement
according to the percentages indicated.
To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your
nominated account, you would have to fill the bank
application form for such claim as the next
of kin to the deceased. There you will designate your
bank account where the money will be remitted. Upon
receipt of your mail indicating your interest,
I will send to you a copy of the application form and
the Account/ Deceased information you would need to
fill it.Send your direct Fax and telephone numbers for
effective communication that this transaction needs.
Please note that you are not to appear in person, as
every thing regarding this project will be strictly
handled by a lawyer and every banking documents needed
for this transaction will be taken care of by lawyer.
PLEASE VIEW THE WEBSITE.
