Dear Friend,
Mutual Business Relationship.
I am Mr.Koffi williams the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign
remittance department of EcoBank.
I have urgent and confidential business proposition for you, during our
official auditing, verifications/investigations in our bank at the end
of last fiscal(financial)year, I discovered the sum of USD$6.5m
dollars(Six million,five hundred thousand US Dollars)in a dormant
account belonging to a major contractor with ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICANSTATES ECOWAS).
I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
his contract employers,(ECOWAS)Benin Republic, that he died in the
october,1999 plane crash with Egyptian air line.
On further investigation, I found out that he died without making his
"WILL» and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not
declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of sum of US $6.5m dollar (Six million, five hundred thousand
Dollars) is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled
over with the principal sum at the end of each year.
No one will ever come forward to claim it.According to Beninese
banking Law, at the expiration of 7(seven) years, the money will revert
to the ownership of the Beninese Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to act as next of kin
to him so that the fruits of this old man’s labour will not get into
the hands of some corrupt government officials here in Benin Republic.
We will share the money in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you and
my plan is to invest my own share of the money in your country.
Therefore, be kind to clarify the following for my consideration:
1. What other lucrative investments would you suggest as I intend
banking, real estate and hotels if they are good business venture in
your Country?.
2. Can you be able to make residential documents and purchase a house
for me and my family to relocate and settle in your country?.
I decided to give you this percentage in order to motivate you and also
to let you feel satisfied at the end of this transaction.
I look forward to your earliest reply.PLEASE REPLY TO MY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL EMAIL:koffi_w200@o2.pl
Yours Truly,
MR.FOFFI WILLIAMS.
PLEASE REPLY TO MY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
