Subject: I have a profitable transaction for you.
From Mr Williams Carls
Cotonou Benin Republic.
West Africa
Hello.
Although. I do not know you in person; I got your contact via personal research on a responsible and honest person that will handle this transaction. I hope you will forgive me for that.
I am Mr. Williams Carls. A banker by profession. I have a profitable transaction for you. I attended a banker’s forum meeting on 25th November 2002 in London and I got introduced to Mr. Han Young Kim, a renowned South Korea real Estate/property magnate. He later employed my services as a banker and investment Consultant, Three months later he invited me and told me of his desire to open a fixed deposit account in our branch, here in Cotonou Benin Republic, because he could fall back on retirement, under my professional guidance and based on my advice he made a fixed deposit of $12,000,000.00 USD (Twelve Million United States Dollars) in our branch.
This deposit was for five years and upon maturity I made effort to contact my client. l could not reach him. I was forced to travel to South Korea and there I got the tragic news that, my client Mr.Han Young Kim, his wife Maria and their only daughter Arina Young Kim, all perished in the Monday, 31 July, 2002 car bomb explosion in South Korea the city of Seoul.
After further investigation. I also discovered that Mr.Han Young Kim did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And l remember he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank because he wanted to surprise his wife whom he so much loved. As I am sending you this mail the sum of ($12,000,000.00) Twelve Million United State dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. My concern is that. According to the laws of my country at the expiration of a certain number of years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies to claim the funds.
Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr.Han Young Kim so that you will be able to act on his behalf and receive his funds.
Should you be interested please send me your full names and current residential address and I will prefers you to reach me on the email address (mr.williams_carl@yahoo.fr) and finally after that I shall provide you with more details on this transaction on how you, will apply to my bank for the release of the fund to your bank account as the next of kin.
Note that this transaction is strictly confidential and must remain so until the fund reach your account.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Mr. Williams Carls
Cotonou Benin Republic.
