FROM:DR.Dennis GourDIAMOND BANKCOTONOU-BENINREPUBLIC OF BENIN.WEST AFRICA.
Dear Friend,
I am Dr.Dennis Gour the manager of Accounting and Auditing dept at the DIAMOND BANK COTONUO, BENIN REPUBLIC.I am writing following the impressive information about you through an internet business proposal. In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $35.7 Million U.S Dollars in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family in 26/December/2004 IN THE TSUNAMI EARTQUAKE DISASTER. Read the full article on the website:
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/206097_mccumber01.html
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the decease as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the earth quake leaving no body behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and so that the bank will release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Five years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasure as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Beninois cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 25% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 65% will be for me and my partner. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application which you will use to open communication with the bank and it their response is favourable we will follow the instruction of the procedure. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
Trusting to hear from you immediately and kindly send your reply to email:dennis_gour8@yahoo.fr
Yours faithfully,DR.Dennis Gour
