Dear Trusted Friend
Compliments of the day. I deceided to contact you after I received a worthy
information about your reliability and honesty. Hence I confide in you.I am
Dr john anago,
from (African Development Bank),Republic of Benin.During
the course of our auditing we discovered the sum of twelve million five
hundred thousand united states dollars
(USD$12.500.000.00) floating in an account opened in this Bank since 1997
and as from 2001 nobody has operated on thisaccount again, and after going
through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the
account died without a [HEIR]sept 11th 2001 by plane crash, hence the money
is floating.
After due verification I noticed that no other person knows about this
account except his wife who was also invovled in the crash, and the account
has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that
untill his death he was the Director GOLD ARK [SARL]Since
our bank,(African Development Bank)Benin Rep.got information about his
death,we have been expecting his next of kin to come forward and claim his
money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next
of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines
and policies but up to date nobody came up to this bank as his next of kin
or relative.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
departmentnow decided to make this businness proposal to you and release
the money to you as the next of kin or elation to the deceased for safety
and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming forth and we don't want
this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the next
of kin as no one has come up as his relation. And the country law here
does not allow such money to stay more than Five years, for the money will
be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed
after this period. Upon the receipt of your response, I will send to you
the application form, bank's contact and the next step to take.
I
will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch free and
that you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for
fund transfer can be finalized within fourteen banking days, after you
apply to the bank as a relation to the deceased, Ithas been resolved that
30% will be for you while 10% has been maped out to defray any expences
that might be incured during the process of the transaction.
Then 60% will be for me which shall be release after the funds must have
been emitted into your bank account. When you receive this letter,kindly
send me an e-mail signifying your decision. Including your private Tel/Fax /
numbers for quick communication.
I will be very happy if you can treat this business with the utmost secrecy
it demands because of my Hoping for a very successful business relationship
with you.
Best Regards,
Dr john anago,
