URGENT ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir,
I am Mr John Sossou, a Supervisor in Ecobank,Cotonou-Benin Republic, It is my pleasure to seek for your assistance in this confidential business transaction,which will be of mutual benefit to both of us.
One Engr. GERT LANDERVADE an oil expartriate/contractor maintains a domiciliary account with our bank which I am the Account Relationship Officer and he has a credit balance of US$26,000,000.00(Twenty SIX Million U.S. Dollars) in my branch, On normal monthly routine notification, I sent a notice to his forwarded address but got no reply. After months, we sent a reminder and finally, we discovered from his contract employer (Shell Petroleum Corporation) that ENGR.GERT LANDERVADE died from an automobile accident while on vacation to his country,All attempts by the Bank to trace his next of kin were fruitless. On further investigation we found out that He died alongside with his Next of kin. And until now no other person(s) knows about this account or could give any documentary evidence concerning this account.
The total sum of US$26,000,000.00 is still standing in his favour in my bank as dormant account, No one has ever come forward to claim it, By virtue of banking law in Republic of Benin, after two years, the money will reverted to the Beninoise government treasury account, if the account owner is certified dead and nobody comes forward to claim it.
Now the most important thing is your support and your full coperation and also to Remain honest to me untill the end of this transaction, believing you will not disappoint me at the end after this money must have been fully processed and transferred intoyour bank account, At the conclusion of this business,we will have it share 50%-50% of the total amount, US$26,000,000.00.Plesae be rest assured that as far as I am concerned this business is 100% risk free,because I have already covered every loop hole
s and also set my machinery at work.
Your's Faithfully,
MR JOHN SOSSOU.
