Dearest,
It is my humble pleasure to write you this confidential letter rrespective of the fact that you do not know me. I am in search of a reliable and trustworthy person that can handle transaction of this Good and great nature.
I am MS. ZATIMA ABU,the Auditing and Accounting Director of the Financial Bank Cotonou Benin. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us. During my Auditing and Accounting for last year that ended last month, I and my team came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who was among the people that died at the clash between oil producing community and mobli oil company in OGONI coast of west africa in August 2005.Right now, the fund is lying unclaimed in our custody hence there is no next of kin mentioned in his file with this Bank and there is no how we can reach his family or relative. The said amount involved is the sum of $5,600,000.00 ( Five Million Six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars). Upon my personal finding on this matter, I kept this information secret to myself until now I am contacting you. In view of the fact that the deceased customer is a foreigner, it is highly important for the involvement of a foreigner wh
o will pose as a next-of-kin.
Before I made up my mind to contact you, I have concluded every arrangement to ensure that you receive the fund as the next of kin. Also I have put in place necessary machinery for a hitch free transfer of this fund to your nominated Bank Account. All I need from you mostly is your trustworthiness, Honesty and cooperation. Based on that, send me immediately your bank account particulars where the fund will be transferred into for you. Because you shall be officially regarded as the New Beneficiary/ Next of Kin of the deceased.
As soon as the fund is confirmed into your account, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification, while 30% for my team,10% for any expense we might have and 30%will be for me which I would like to entrust into your account for investing on my behalf in your country pending when I will resign. I have a plan to resign my job upon your receipt of the fund in your account. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.
Please keep this transaction top secret even if you are not interested. However, If it interests you to champion this transaction, quickly reach me through the above contact email address (FOR SECURITY REASONS). Send your name, telephone number and fax number via email today.
Looking forward for your prompt reply.
Regards. MS. ZATIMA ABU
