FROM THE DESK OF MR JONES MAYOR.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER,
PAN-BANK BENIN REPUBLIC
COTONOU BENIN WEST AFRICA.
DEAREST ONE,
I am the AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER PAN-BANK BENIN
REPUBLIC(P.B.B)here in COTONOU BENIN.I got your contact in course of my
inquiry for the family tree......of my decease client who die some years
back and there is no one to claim his fund here in Benin republic west Africa
as he failed to provide correct information when he made this deposit sum
of US$25m dollars (TWENTY FIVE MILLION US DOLLARS)I seek your help to
claim the fund into your Account as the beneficary next of kin.
The reason for this is to inherit a Contracts Payment Deposits of which
the Deceased left in PAN-BANK BENIN REPUBLIC Here in my country Cotonou
Benin.So Since i got information about his death,we have been expecting
his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release
it unless some body comes for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws, but unfortunately we learnt
that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at
the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation
to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming
for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as
unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the
bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin
in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a B鮩nois cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I therefore agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to
the provision of a foriegn account,10% will be set aside for any expenses
that may incurred during the business and 60% would be for me, Thereafter
I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated
Therefore,to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you, Your full
contact address private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send it to the bank for approval,I will
not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and
that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements
have been made for the transfer of the fund before contacting you.
You should therefor contact me immediately you receive this
letter.Through my privert E-mail:jones_mayor@e-mail.cz
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
MR JONES MAYOR.
