Subject: YOUR EXPERT ADVISE NEEDED...
FROM MR HENRY PETERS.
ECOBANK,
Rue du Gouverneur Bayol B.P. 1280,
Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Dear Sir,
RE: Project co-operation.
Compliments Of The Season.
Permit me to introduce myself to you. My name is MR HENRY PETERS, an auditor in the above Bank in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
I came to know about you in my private search for a reliable person/company to handle an important assignment of which I know you will find acceptable.
I work in the Auditing and Accounting Department of ECOBANK, Benin, in West Africa, and also the account officer of Late Mr.Hassan Balhas Ghadar, a Lebanese.
Mr.Hassan Balhas Ghadar was a Seasoned Contractor with Benin Government and Cement Company in Benin Republic(BENECEM), who unfortunately died in the plane crash of Union Transport Africaines(UTA) Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou, Benin Republic on 25th, December, 2003.
You may read more stories about the crash on visiting these websites: http://english.pravda.ru/accidents/21/97/384/11653_Aircrash.html
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash
Before his death on the 25th December 2003,Mr.Ghadar had an account with the bank with a huge credit balance of $28.5 Million USD(Twenty Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) only and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it. The account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved that his supposed next of kin died along with him in the crash.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives which has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you. I am contacting you to assist in transfering the money left behind by my client to your nominated account before the bank confiscates the fund.
Since l have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for 3 years now, I seek your consent, to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account can be paid into your safe account and thereafter you and l can share the money 50/50.
I will arrange for all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim.
All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this deal will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law. All documents of this transaction shall be destroyed immediately we receive the money leaving no trace to any place.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email the following information to me:
a. Complete names and address.
b. Private telephone number.
c. Private fax number.
d. Private email.
Until you write, I wish you a happy and prosperous new year and God bless.
Yours faithfully,
Henry Peters.
