FROM MR PAUL.U.EZIAGU
CREDIT BANK BENIN
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC
Daer Friend,
Is my Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the day, I AM MR PAUL
.U. EZIAGU, the director incharge of auditing and accounting Unit of Credit
Bank in Cotonou-Benin Republic.
I and my colleagues deem it fit to contact you regarding to a transaction
that will favour both of us at the end, and i got your contact in my search
for a reputable and reliable person to help me claim the fund in question.
We discovered the sum of eight million one hundred thousand United States
Dollars (USD8.1M) belonging to a deceased customer of this bank. The fund
has been lying in a suspence account without anybody coming to put claim
over the money since the account owner late Mr. Mohamed Mohd from libanon,
who was involved in the December 25th Benin plane crash.

ml
The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foriegn account whose owner
will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased customer
of the bank.
The foriegn account owner will impost himself as the next of kin to the
deceased and respond positively like a true next of kin who wishes to speed
up the release and transfer of his inherited fund.
If the over due fund if not claimed by the end of next quarter, the government
of the Federal Republic of Benin will take over the ownership of the fund
in line with the Federal Edict Act of 1979. We do not want the government
to take over the ownership of this money, that is why I contacted you for
us to do the deal together, so that we will portray you as the bonafide next
of kin to the deceased whose name is Mr. Mohamed mohd.
If you accept to carry out this project with us, we will offer you 30% of
the total sum, while I and my colleagues involved will take 70% of the total
sum. Upon your acceptance to do this deal with us, we will jointly effect
the transfer within eight working days.
Be rest assured that, this transaction carries no risk and no extra responssibilities
on your part, except the above mentioned roles and normally you will be required
to maintain absolute information and absolute secrecy throughout the duration
of this transaction, because discussing it with a third party might jeopardise
the entire transaction.
I am looking forward to receiving your interesting response on this project
as this will greatly enrich the both of us at the end.
please you can contact me immediately through my personal email address(pauleziagu@yahoo.com)
BEST REGARDS,
MR PAUL.U.EZIAGU
