Subject: I wait your urgent response.
Greetings to you,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a
day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. My name
is Mr.Emme Harry. the present branch Manager of a bank here in Benin
Republic West Africa. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing
that I can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you.
Like I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your
assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last
December I was asked to take osition of a Manager of our branch in Cotonou
who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a
fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $18.1
million that has not been operated on for the past 4 years. From my
investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr EL
JAMAL ZOUE, a citizen of Lebanon who died on the recent plane crash in
Cotonou Benin republic on the 26th of Dec. 2003. You can seach the
Webside.http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come
forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr EL JAMAL ZOUE,
meaning that no one is aware of the account. I cannot directly take out this
money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am
contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As
the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power influence the release of the
funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account, with
the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be
executed undera legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach
of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me
as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so as
to give you more details. Thanking you in advance and may God bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent response.
Meanwhile, I will like to speak with you on phone for more information.
Please you are to keep this transaction a top secret in view of my sensitive
position at the bank.
#NOTE: These are required of you.
(1) Your full Name.
(2) Your personal phone number.
(3) Your Address
Thanks and have a nice day.
Best regards,
Mr Emme Harry.
