Banque de la Cité,
42, Rue d'église,
Porto-Novo, Bénin Republic.
Dear Friend,
I sincerely write to solicit your co-operation and trust in an urgent business transaction. I work
with Banque de la Cité Plc (translated as: City Bank Plc) in Porto-Novo, Bénin republic. Presently,
i am in charge of bills and exchange in the international remittance department. I was the
account's officer to Mr. & Mrs. Tim J. Pepp, who worked with Chevron Oil company, but both
died in the December 26, 2003 air crash here in Bénin Republic.
PLEASE, VISIT THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION:
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
Mr. Pepp had a total sum of $5.32 million (Five million, Three hundred and Twenty thousand US
Dollars) in his domiciliary account. Since the management got the news of his tragic death, we have
been expecting any of his relatives/next of kin to come up and claim his/her inheritance fund.
Unfortunately, from the day of his death till the time of this letter, nobody has come up for the
claim. As his personal account's officer, i decided to search through his classified record files
and i discovered that the only next of kin he specified was his wife, who died along with him in
the fatal plane crash.
The banking and financial law of inheritance of Banque de la Cité stipulates that if such fund
remains unclaimed after a period of (48) months, it would be lost to the bank as an "unclaimed
deposit". On that note, I have decided to do business with you so that the money could be released
to you as a next of kin to the deceased for subsequent disbursement between us. I would soon
proceed on my retirement, and i personally do not want the fund to be lost to the bank.
The need for a foreigner as a next of kin in this project is necessitated by the fact that the
deceased was a foreigner and a Beninese/beninois will not perfectly fit in as his next of kin or
heir. That is why i am contacting you. Please, note that it does not really matter whether you are
truly related to the deceased or not, because there is never going to be any background check or
investigation whatsoever. Consider that, a top secret from an insider that knows it all. Also, note
that you are not to appear in person and as such, there is absolutely no risk involved.
To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your designated bank account, you would need to
fill an application form for such claim as the next of kin to the deceased. There, you will
designate your bank account into which the fund will be transfered. If you feel uneasy giving out
your private bank account information, you could provide a new bank account solely for the purpose
of this transaction. As soon as the fund is transfered into your bank account, i would visit you in
your country to collect my share. I have made up my mind that 35% of the total fund would be for
you, as a foreign partner.
Upon my receipt of your message indicating your interest and full assurance that you would
peacefully let me have my own share of the fund after it must have been transfered into your bank
account, i would email you with a copy of the next of kin application form and the deceased's bank
account information. You would need to correctly fill the application form and then, send to the
director of international remittance for onward processing, approval and transfer of the fund into
your designated bank account. Please, let me have your direct cell phone numbers for effective
communication. I hope to read from you soon.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Jayke Mowowa.
