Subject: From Roland,
Dear Friend.
I am Mr Doussou Roland, manager audit account department of
African Development Bank(A.D.B.).
In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of NINTEEN
MILLION, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS
($19,300,000.00 ) in an account that belongs to one of our
foreign customer who died along with his entire family in an
aeroplane crash.He died in the December 25th Benin plane
crash.
(Here is the aircrash site/
ttp://http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html)
Since the bank got information about his death we have been
expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money
because we cannot release the fund unless somebody applies
for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but
unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin
died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody
behind for the claim.
And our banking law and guideline here stipulates that if
such money remains unclaimed after five years, such money
will be moved into the banking treasurer as unclaimed fund.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business
is occasioned by the fact that the deceased customer was a
foreigner, a citizen Benin cannot stand as next of kin.
If you accept my proposal to do this deal with me I will
give you 30% of the total money will be for you as a foreign
partner while 10% will be set aside to cover any expenses
that might be incurred during the process of transferring
the fund to your nominated bank account.
If you're willing to handle this deal with me kind get back
to me with your Private telephone and fax numbers for easy
communications well as your personal picture or a copy of
your National ID, to enable me know whom I’m dealing with.
Note: I demand the highest trust from you to keep this
business strictly confidential for security reasons as you
may know that the bank don't know that i am the one that
contacted you to stand for this claim as a next of kin.
At the end of this transaction which will be when the money
will hit your account safely i will then come over to your
country for sharing the fund according to the previous
agreed percentage, you might even have to advice me on
possibilities of investment in your country.
Anticipate your urgent responce
Best regards,
Mr Doussou Roland,
