Attn: My Dear,
First of all, please i would like you to excuse me for using this medium to contact you on a transaction of this magnitude.It
is really a pleasure and an honour to contact you.
In effect I am Mr.Alain GEDU, a manager of an International Bank in Cotonou Benin in West Africa.I got your contact in a
banks conference held jointly with other countries.With this respect i send this proposal to you in good state of hearth.I
am 48years of age with 4 children happily married with my wife. I am a Christian by religion and a man of peace.I bring to
you a financial transaction which will benefit us.
As the bank branch manager confident to Engineer Harry Gandel,who died in a fatal car accident that occurred ( in the year
2004) in Cotonou Republic of Benin.Late Engineer Harry Gandel is a prosperous citizen of New Zealand working with a company
here in Benin Republic, as a geologist by profession.The deceased have an account opened since 2002; and till now nobody have
come to claim it as the beneficiary.The fund was deposited for the expansion and development of his company in Africa before
his death.
After my careful investigation on this account, i found out that nobody knows about this account because Engineer Harry
Gandel don't know that he will die in such abrupt way,unfortunatly he did not achieved his goals.But then if i did not find a
means to transfer out this fund to a foreign country,I stand the chance of loosing this opportunity ( and this fund could be
confiscated into the account of this our corrupt government which would not use the fund properly to help the life of our
citizens)
Following these reasons, I would not like to loose this golden opportunity that has come to my life and which does not come
so easily in once life.I mainly contacted you because you are a foreigner with good status and this funds can not be
approved to an indigenous account without an international passport as a foreigner but it can only be approved to a foreigner
with a valid international passport or a driving licence and into a foreign bank account as the beneficiary.The reason for
such conditions are because the funds was deposited in U.S Dollars domicile and the owner of the account, Harry Gandel is
also a foreigner. Moreover such funds can only be approved into a foreign bank account as the beneficiary.
However, I am opening up this transaction to you in the name of our Almighty God, believing that you will never disappoint me
either now nor later.I only got your contact address through my secretary who proved your reliable status. You are the only
person i have contacted for this confidential transaction.Then, please i wish you give me a positive answer urgently so that
I give you more in formations and further steps.Also as you give me your response remember to forward to me your direct phone
& Fax numbers including your complete address and details of the bank account which you would like the fund to be safely
transferred into.
I seriously require your whole co-operation to do this transaction with me because the bank administration is ready to
approve the transfer of this fund to any foreigner who have vital information of this bank account, of which I am ready to
immediately forward to you any information which the bank might request from you as the beneficiary of the fund, as soon as I
receive your positive answer and as much as I am surely convinced that you are able to follow my instructions as a worker in
this bank who knows more about this transaction.
In conclusion I Would please like to inform you that this transaction is legal and without risk of any kind because all
information which supports the request for the transfer of this fund are available. Therefore, be assured that no body can
create to you problems of any kind on these fund when they are finally transferred out into your account. At the end of this
transaction your percentage shear will be 30% of the total sum of the fund transferred into your account.And i will come over
to your country for shearing and investing my own part of the fund on a profitable venture in your country.
I am impatiently waiting for your prompt response through my private E-mail address: alaingedu@yahoo.com or my direct phone
