Subject: MR JARY DASSI
Dear,
My name is MR JARY DASSI, the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting
section of INTERCONTINENTAL BANK BENIN in West Africa. With due respect and
regard, I decided to contact you on a business that will be very beneficial
to both of us at the end of the transaction.
I perused over your profile from the internet today and your last name
marched with that of our late customer and thus this contact.
During our investigation and auditing in this Bank,my Department came across
a huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in December
2003 plane crash in Benin and the fund 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 my discovery to this development.(please check,
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html)
Having been asked to source for the relatives of the deceased by the bank to
put claims to the money which I did but to no avail, I thereby decided to
contact you. The amount involved is US$8.3m, As it may interest you to
know,your last name(surname) marched with his last name and I decided you
should be contacted to purport as the next of kin to him.
His information has been confidential with me to enable the whole plans to
be Profitable and successful during the time of execution. I have perfected
every technical and logistic backup to ensure a hitch free claim and all
will take place under a carefully arranged legal framework that will protect
you from any breach of the law. All other directives and needed information
will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness
to assist me in putting claims to this fund.
The Bank will immediatly convert the money to it's private use once it
discovers that it could not be claimed. 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 that would eventually raise an
eyebrow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this Bank.
This is the actual reason why it will require a second party who will
forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the
Bank and also present a foreign account where the money will be transferred
to.
On successful completion of this deal, you will be entitled to 35% of the
total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer, while 60% will be for
me. Please, kindly keep this deal confidential as I am still in service and
intend to retire at the end of this deal.
All other necessary information will be sent to you upon receiving your
reply to this
proposal.
I am looking forward to working with you.
Best Regards,
MR JARY DASSI
