Subject: WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON
FROM Mr MOHAMMED BASHIR
STANDARD TRUST BANK OF BENIN
REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
WEST AFRICA.
DEAR FRIEND
I am MR MOHAMMED BASHIR, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Standard trust bank of Benin cotonou Republic of Benin 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
(beirut-bound charter jet) plane crash on the 25th December 2003 here in
cotonou (replublic of benin) 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.You shall read more news about the crash on visiting this site
which I got during my
investigation;(http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html).
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 US$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
a friends who works with the Ministry of Information 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 eye brow 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 or fellow who
will forward claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a
foreign account where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on
his 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 arrangements for a successful arrangement as an insider of the
bank before contacting you. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you
will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 10% will be
set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of
transfer and also telephone bills, 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 on my personal email
address stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
Mr MOHAMMED BASHIR
