PROPOSAL...............
My Dear ,
Is my Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the day, I am DR. MMENNOMI
MBOK, the director incharge of auditing and accounting Unit of the
Continental bank cotonou, I and my colleagues deem it fit to contact you
regarding a transaction that will favour both of us at the end, and i got
your contact from cotonou global market attache insearch of a reliable
person to help me claim the fund in question,Understand.
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. Here is the air

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 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 may
contact me throughmy private email:

BEST REGARD
DR. MMENNOMI MBOK
