Dear Friend,
How are you today? hoping that everything is quite well with
you. Is my Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the

and accounting Unit of Continental Bank in Cotonou-Benin
Republic. I deem it fit to contact you regarding to a
transaction that will favour both of us at the end,I want
you to help me claim the fund in question.
I discovered the sum of Fifteen million United States
Dollars (USD15M) belonging to a deceased customer of this
bank. The fund has been lying in a suspence account without
anybody coming to put claim over the money since the account
owner late Dr. Hamid Ayed from lebanon, who was involved in
the December 25th Benin plane crash. Here is the air crash
website on cnn =

The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foriegn account
whose owner will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of
kin to the deceased customer of the bank.
The foriegn account owner will impost himself as the next of
kin to the deceased and respond positively like a true next
of kin who wishes to speed up the release and transfer of
his inherited fund.The over due fund if not claimed by the
end of next quarter of this fiscal year, the government of
the Federal Republic of Benin will take over the ownership
of the fund in line with the Federal Edict Act of 1979.I do
not want the government to take over the ownership of this
money, that is why I contacted you for us to do the deal
together, so that I will portray you as the bonafide next of
kin to the deceased whose name is Dr. Hamid Ayed. I have
every detail information which will authenticate your claim.
If you accept to carry out this project with me, We shall
discuss on equity formula to share the inheritance fund.But
be rest assured that this transaction carries no risk on
your part, except the above mentioned roles and normally you
are to maintain absolute information and absolute secrecy
through out the duration of this transaction, because
discussing it with a third party might jeopardise the entire
transaction.
Before we proceed in this great deal,i want you to forward
to me ASAP the following information below as to establish a
mutual understanding;
1)Your Residential/Office Address.
2)Your Telephone/Fax Number.
3)Your profession.

on this project as this will greatly enrich both of us at
the end.
