Dear FRIEND,
I am MR IBRAHIM SULEMAN I work with the FINACIAL BANK OF
BENIN FBB) in Cotonou Benin republic. It is my wish to
solicite your assistance in a business transaction that
will be of benefit to you and I.
During our investigation and auditing in the bank, my
department came across a very huge sum of money belonging
to a deceased customer of the bank HAJI EL JAMAL ZOUE, a
citizen of Lebanon who died on the recent plane crash in
Cotonou Benin republic on the 26th of Dec. 2003.
You can seach the subject
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html.Although
personally, I kept this information secret within myself
to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and
successful during the time of execution.The said amount

united states dollars). As it may intrest you to know.
I got your contact through my country chamber of commerce
and international relations here in Cotonou Benin Rep. I

business of such magnitude without any problem.

this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get
the required approval and transfer this money to your
account if you indicate your intrest has been made by
me.In fact I could have done this deal alone but because
of my position in this country as a banker,we are not allo
wed to operate a foreign account and would eventually
raise aneye brow on my side during the time of transfer
because I work in this bank
.This is the actual reason why it will require a second
party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin
to the bank and also present a foreign account where he
will need the money to be re-transfered into on his
request
as it may be after dueverification and clarification by
bank officails.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is
100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction,
you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as
gratification,while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may rise during the time of transfer while
the remaining 60% will be for me and my family.
Please,you have been advised to keep business as a secret
between you and i for i am still in service and intend to
retire from service after i conclude this deal with you.
As soon as you confirm to me your willingness to assit me
in this bussiness i will send to you the deceased bank
account informations and Application which you will apply
to the bank for inward transfer of this fund to your
account.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the bank
until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to
come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the
fund according to percentages previously indicated and
further investment,either in your country or any other
country you may advice us to invest in.
