African Development Bank (ADB)
West Afrique,

Dear Friend,
Greetings to you,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a
day that people meet and become great friends and business partners.My name
is DR HASSAN BAKAR , the present Director,Audit and Accounting Unit Foreign
Remittance Dept ,Bank of Africa here in Benin Republic West Africa.
I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with
the information I am about to reveal to you. LikeI said, I have transaction
that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a
foreigner.I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but
last December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in
Cotonou who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and
discovered a fortune.As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total
sum of 4.6 million USD that has not been operated on for the past 6 years.
>From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr.
Ziya Bazhayev a Russian big time Oil dealer, who unfortunately lost his life
in the Yak-40jetliner on March 9, 2000.you will read more news about the
crash on visiting these site;
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/03/09/russia.crash.04/
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has come
forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Ziya Bazhayev
meaning that no one is aware of the account.I cannot directly take out this
money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I am contacting you
for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with me. As the Manager of
my bank branch, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to
any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the account,with the
correct information concerning the account, which I shall give you. I am
seekingyour co -operation to present you as the next of kin to the account.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied. Contact me
as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together,so as
to give you more details.Thanking you in advance and may Almigthy Allah
bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
Dr hassan bakar.
