Subject: TREAT THIS URGENT AND CALL ME IMMDIATELY( DIRECT L INELL ME : 00229-079 127)

FROM:
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK(ADB)
BILL/EXCHANGE & FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPARTMENT.
COTONOU,
REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
WEST AFRICA.

Dear Sir/Madam,

REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

After due deliberation ,I decided to forward this business
proposal to you because I am very much interested to enter
into a mutual business relationship with you, after going
through your profile.due to the fact that I want a
reliable person who can assist me.

I , Manager of BILL/EXCHANGE & FOREIGN REMMITTANCE
DEPARTMENT COTONOU IN REPUBLIC OF BENIN UNDER THE AFRICAN
DEVELOPMENT BANK OFFICE IN BENIN.

In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5M,
Us dollars (Ten million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars)
in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
who died along with his entire family in 30/JANUARY/2000
IN THE PASSENGER PLAN CRASH WITH KENYA AIRWAYS AIRBUS
A310-304 5Y-BENIN ABIDJAN-COTE D'IVOIRE(IVORY-COAST).

Since we got information about his death, we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his
money because we can not release it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the decease
as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but
unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed next of kin
or relation died along side with him at the plane clash
leaving no body behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make
this proposal to be the next of kin and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't
want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed
bill.

The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such
money remained unclaimed after five years, the money will
be transferred into the bank treasure as unclaimed fund.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business
is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a
foreigner and a Beninois cannot stand as next of kin to a
foreigner.

There after I will visit your country for disbursement
after the funds has been transfer.

Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund
to you .

The Bank Procedure would be forward to you .

Hope to hear from you .

Yours faithfully,

DR.BOB EMMANUEL.
