From the desk of Dr Francis Camara,
manager accounts/audit department
Bank of Africa republic of Benin
telephone 00229 93416124
I am Writing you inrespect of a transaction which I want both of us to do
togerther that is why i am contacting you.
.
DR.George Brumley Jr, who was a consultant with Shell-development company
in Benin republic and a personal friend Died and left behind his deposit
in this bank BANK of AFRICA PLC valued $20 Million Dollars.
My relationship with DR. George started in year 1999 when I was a supervisor
in bank of Africa marina branch. We met in my social club annual end of
the year party and I introduced him to my bank where he opened this account
some few weeks
later making me the account officer to the account and he operated this
account until his death.
On the 21st of July 2003, DR. George, his wife and their two children were
involved in a plan crash in Nairobi Kenya. All passengers of the plan unfortunately
lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy
to locate any of DR.George's extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.
To prevent the bank to claim this money I know decided to contact any body
from your country, I decided to contact you via your email address with
hope to get this money out of the bank.
This is the web site of this tragedy that struck on that faithful day.

I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by Mr.George
before they get confiscated since the bank has declared the account unserviceable.
I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives since I was re-called
back to marina branch as a senior manager from a transfer that took me to
another branch of the bank. I therefore seek your consent to present you
as the next of kin of the deceased , so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $20 Million Dollars can be paid to your account abroad and then
you can have 40% of the money for your kind gesture and keep the other 60%
for me and 10% for expenses procure, I Will need to travel down to your
country for the collection of the 55% balance as soon as this fund get to
you.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through, of which we must present a foreigner with an account abroad to
enable us to clear this money from the bank.
Your contact information are very necessary, I mean your home address, phone
number and your full name.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
Best regards,
hope to hear from you.
Dr Francis Camara
