STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE.
Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day. I deceided to contact you after I received your
informations on the net,in search of a partner for this business.Hence I
confide in from you.
I am a Manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department Of
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK OF BENIN. I am writing following the impressive
information about you through an internet business proposal.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum US 17.5M (Seventeen Million
Five Hundred Thousand 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.VIEW THIS WEB SITE

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the decease as
indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately I learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at
the plane clash leaving no body behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is
coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Two Years, the money will be transferred into the bank
treasure as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in
this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a Beninois can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for
expenses incurred during the business and 60% will be for me. There after I
will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arrange,you must apply first to the bank as relation or next or kin of the
deceased indicating the following
1.) Your bank name,
2.) Your bank account,
3.) 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 business
is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all
required arrangements has been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter on my
private line (00229-97-647 883). and on my Alternative
E-Mail(drmollarysteve@yahoo.de ) for further discussion.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours faithfully,
DR.MOLLARY STEVE.
