FROM:
THE DESK OF MR.DESMOND BAAKLINI
CHIEF ACCOUNTANT SOCIETE GENERALE BANQUES DE BENIN.
COTOOU BENIN REPUBLIC WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
I am Mr.Baaklini DESMOND, The Chief Accountant in my Bank here in Cotonou Republic of Benin, I am writing following an opportunity in my office that will be of immense benefit to both of us. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $28.1M. (Twenty Eight Million One Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American, who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter.
You shall read more about the crash on visiting this website:
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over and claim his money because the Bank can not release the funds unless somebody applied for it as the next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, Unfortunately I learnt that his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to do business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety keeping and subsequent disburseme! nt since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go back into Government treasury as unclaimed bill, I agreed that 40% of this money will be for you as my foreign partner, while the balance will be for me. I will visit your country for the disbursement according to the percentages indicated above once this money gets into your account, please be honest to me and trust is our watchword in this transaction.
Note this transaction is confidential and 100% risk free and all the necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these funds to your account has been finalised As soon as you receive this mail you should contact me with your private telephone number for a better communication between us in the event if you are not interested, I sincerely ask that you disregard this email and tell no one about it. We will discuss much in details when I do receive your response.
Thanks and God bless you and your entire family,
Yours
Mr.Baaklini DESMOND.
