FROM MR.JUSTIN BENJAMIN.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ANNEX.
COTONOU,BENIN REPUBLIC WEST AFRICA.
My dear,
I am Mr. Justin Benjamin the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of African Development Bank Annex Cotonou Benin Republic in West
Africa with due respect and regard.
I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very
beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in a
plane crash on the OCTOBER 31, 1999, on airline transafrique International
with aircraft Lockheed -100-30 at location Vila Nova, Angola with
registration number S9-CAO while travelling with his entire family of his
wife, 2 children and a maid on a festive visit to Angola. And since his
untimely death the funds has been dormant in his account with this bank
without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or
relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, i keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful
during the time of execution. The said amount was usd$24.1M(Twenty four
million One Hundred Thousand united states dollars).
As it may interest you to know, i got your impressive information through my
good friends who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business
relations here in Cotonou-Benin. It is him who recommended your person to me
to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without
any problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund
as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place. And
directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you
indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit
yourself to this great business opportunity.
In fact i could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this
country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account
and would eventually raise an eyebrow on my side during the time of
transfer because i still work in this bank. This is the actual reason why
it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next
of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he/she will need
the money to be re-transferred into on his/her request as it may be after
due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank
where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated bank
account.
May i at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as I
have made a successful arrangements as an insider of the bank before
contacting you. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be
entitled to 35% of the total sum as gratification, and you will take care of
any little expenses which may occur during the transfer, 5% will be set
aside for the less previledge etc while 60% will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been adviced to keep this a top secret as we are still in
service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with
you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm
the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us
to invest in. All other necessary information will be sent to you on your
acceptance to champion this transaction with me.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible or you contact me on my
private line +229 97 58 84 38 stating your wish in this deal.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Justin Benjamin.
Tel: +229 97 58 84 38.
