Subject: FROM JOHNSON /PLEASE CALL ME.
Dear Friend,
I am MR JOHNSON DOSSU, Auditor, with Accounting Department,Ecobank here in
Cotonou, Benin Republic. I am writing following an oppurtunity in my office
that will be of immense benefit to both of us.I have decided to contact you
purely on the personal conviction of trust and cofidence that we can
co-operate with one another and do a very lucrative business for our mutual
benefit.
The Business I am proposing to you is in respect of the sum of
US$10,170,000.00(Ten Million One Hundred and Seventy Thousand United States
Dollars Only) deposited in Dollar account with my bank which belonged to
Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who unfortunately lost his life in the
plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31st
2000, including his wife and only daughter. You shall read more about the
crash on visiting this site.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and
http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
My bank has made several efforts at contacting the family of Late Mr. Morris
Thompson or his relatives, but all effort have proved abortive as he had no
identifiable kin's men.This sum of US$10.170M has remained lunclaimed ever
since then and nobody has come forward as his next of kin. The management
under the influence of our chairman and member of the board of directors has
made an arrangement for the fund to be declared 'UNCLAIMABLE' and
subsequently be turned to the reserve account of the bank. It is against the
background of the foregoing,that i have decided to contact you for
assistance and partnership, for you to stand as the next of kin to Late Mr.
Morris
Thompson. Because the banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such
money remained after five years, the money will be transferred into banking
treasury as unclaimed funds.
With your permission this fund will be transferred to your private account
abroad as the beneficiary and next of kin to Late Mr. Morris Thompson.All
proof of claim and necessary documentation will be carefully worked out in
your favour and we assure you of 100% risk free involvement and protection.
Consequently, if you find this proposal acceptable to you and you wish to
assist me, I expect your urgent response and upon receipt of that ,we shall
discuss and agree on the disbursement and sharing ratio.Let me therefore
expect your very urgent response through my phone,Please endeavour to
include your full name and address, private phone and fax number for our
easy communication .Please keep our dealings very private and confidential.
As I await your urgent response. Please kindly reply to this letter and as
well state your wish in this deal .
Thank you and best regards.
Yours Faithfully,
MR JOHNSON DOSSU.
