CONFIDENTIALITY
ATTENTION ,
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 ECO BANK
PLC DU BENIN , currently I am n charge of bills and exchange at the foreign
remittance department of my bank. I was the account officer to Pope John
Paul 2 who died on 2 April 2005.
He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of $25,000,000(twenty five
million dollars) which he left for the needy and also for the helping of
some churches and also feeding of the poor.
But unfortunately we have not seen any body to claim the money. Rev.fr.james
blank is the only person who knows about this apart from the bank. The
management of the bank have planned to embezzle the money since there is no
one to claim the money.
On this note, I now decided to give you the money so that you can give it to
the needy. 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.
I have decided that you take all the money and deliver it to the needy and
some to churches, am a very good Christian and will not watch the bank
embezzle the money belonging to the needy, it is not a good idea and I can't
involve my self in that kind of evil plan.
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. And also if you help you will get
20% of the money as your reward to your good work.
Please note that you may appear in person if you like, 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. Please try and see that the money lives the bank.Please all mails
should be forwarded to my private mail box below for security
purposes,EMAIL/ johnson1_tommy@yahoo.com
Yours Faithfully,
