Dear Friend,
I am a staff of African Development bank(A.D.B) in the file/computer
deptment.In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $15.3m US dollars
(Fifteen Million,Three Hundred US dollars).In an account that belongs to one
of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family on 25th
December 2003 in a plane crash.

Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and
claim his money because the management cannot release it unless somebody
applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in
our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all his family died
alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
Since you are foreigner,you can easyly make this deal with me,It is
therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this businness proposal
to you so that together we can work and get the bank release this money to
you as the next of kin/relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent
disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I dont want this money to go
into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The request of 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.I agree that 40 % of this money will be for you
as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 %
will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 50 % would
be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement accoding
to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relation/next of kin of the
deceased indicating your bank name, your private telephone
and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in
the money will be remitted .Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you
by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to
your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not
entertain any atom of fear as I am still in active service in the bank and
will guide you through.
You should contact me immediately you receive this letter or please call.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Best Regards.
Dr Malik Iyatah.
