Dear Friend,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable me carry
out an urgent business Opportunity in my department. I work with the GLOBAL
BANK PLC BENIN ; currently I am in charge of bills and exchange at the foreign
remittance department of my bank. I was the account officer to one Mr &
Mrs PAULA who worked wtih Chevron Oil company ,Who died along with his wife
in the December 25th, 2003 Air Crash in Benin Republic.He left in his domiciliary
account the amout of $15.5 million(Fifteen million five hundred thousand
USA Dollars).Since the management got the information of his death we have
been expecting any of his relation or his next of kin to come up and claim
his money.
Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time of this letter none
of his relation or friends has come up for the claim.The banking and financial
law of GLOBAL BANK PLC BENIN stipulates that if such fund remained unclaimed
after a period of (30) months it will be lost to the bank as unclaimed deposit.
On this note, I now decided to do business with you and release the money
to you as the next of kin to the deceased for subsequent disbursement among
us.I will soon proceed for my retirement leave, and I personally do not
want this fund to be lost to the bank. That is why I wanted the fund to
be move out of the bank before I proceed on my retirement from the banking
services.
The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Beninnois will not erfectly
fit in as his next of kin or heir. I have agreed that 30% of the Fund would
be for you as foreign partner, thereafter I will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated
account, you would have to fill the bank application form for such claim
as the next of kin to the deceased. There you will designate your bank account
where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your mail indicating your
interest.
I will send to you a copy of the application form and the Account/ Deceased
information you would need to fill it.Send your direct Fax and telephone
numbers for effective communication that this transaction needs. Please
note that you are not to appear in person, as every thing regarding this
project will be strictly handled by a lawyer and every
banking documents needed for this transaction will be taken care of by
lawyer.
