PLEASE REPLY TO MY PRIVATE BOX akasonou1@mac.com
Dear Friend,
I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable me carry out an
urgent business Opportunity in my department. I work with the GLOBAL BANK PLC
BENIN ;currently I am in charge of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance
department of my bank. I was the account officer to one Mr & Mrs MARKUS who
worked wtih Chevron Oil company ,Who died along with his wife in the December
25th, 2003 Air Crash in Benin Republic.
He left in his domiciliary account the amout of $15.5million(Fifteen million
five hundred thousand USA Dollars).Since the management got the information of
his death we have been expecting any of his relation or his next of kin to come
up and claim his money.
Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time of this letter none of
hisrelation or friends has come up for the claim.The banking and financial law
of GLOBAL BANK PLC BENIN stipulates that if such fund remained unclaimed after a
period of (35) months it will be lost to the bank as unclaimed deposit.
On this note, I now decided to do business with you and release the money to you
as the next of kin to the deceased for subsequent disbursement among us.I will
soon proceed for my retirement leave, and I personally do not want this fund to
be lost to the bank. That is why I wanted the fund to be move out of the bank
before I proceed on my retirement from the banking services. The need for a
foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned by the fact that the
customer was a foreigner and a Beninnois will not
perfectly fit in as his next of kin or heir.
I have agreed that 30% of the Fund would be foryou as foreign partner,thereafter
I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages
indicated.
To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated account,
youwould have to fill the bank application form for such claim as the next of
kinto the deceased. There you will designate your bank account where the
moneywill be remitted. Upon receipt of your mail indicating your interest.
I will send to you a copy of the application form and the Account/ Deceased
information you would need to fill it.Send your direct Fax and telephone numbers
for effective communication that this transaction needs.Please note that you are
not to appear in person, as every thing regarding this project will be strictly
handled by a lawyer and every banking documents needed for this transaction will
be taken
care of by lawyer.
