Calvary Greetings,
I am Mr.Don Brown Audit Manager Bank of Africa Benin. in the
capital
city of cotonou Benin republic, and assittance, This is a
very
confidential proposition for you. On April 21st 1999, A
Swedish Oil
consultant/contractor with the Benenoise Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr.Soren Andersson made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve
calendar months, valued at US$8,000,000.00 (Eight Million
Dollars
only)in my branch.
Upon maturity on November 20th 2003 as his Credit Officer, I
sent a
routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally i
discovered from his contract employers, the Benenoise Solid
Minerals Corporation that Mr.Soren Anderson died on auto
accident with his entire family.
Further investigations,and all attempts to trace his next of
kin was
fruitless. Again, I made further investigation and
discovered that
Mr.Soren Andersson did not declare any kin or relations in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$8,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank No
one will
ever come forward to claim it.According to the International
Banking
ethics, codesand Laws, at the expiration of 7(Two) years,
the money will revert to the ownership of the Benin
Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Soren. This is simple, I
will like you to respond immediately with your full names
and address so that we will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of
kin.
The money will be paid into your account for us to share in
the atio of 70% for me and some of my colleagues who are
aware of this transaction and 25% for you and 5% for
Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction There is
no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction
will be done by my colleagues and with my position as the
Foreign Remmitance Director guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and
relevant documents that will help you understand the
transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and
fax numbers for easy
communication.
You should observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest
assured that
this transaction would be most profitable for both of us
because I shall require your assistance to invest my share
in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
Remain Bless.
Mr.Don Brown
