Subject: I SEEK YOUR CONCEPT
Office of the Manager,Financier Bank Cotonou Banin.
Dear Friend, I am Mr Van De . The Manager of Financier Transfer Bank Benin . I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On April 10, 2000, an Iraqi Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Benin PETROLUEM CORPORATION Mr.Rahman Schmitt. Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 24 calendar months, valued at US$10,400,000.00 (Ten Million,Four hundred thousand dollars only) in this bank. Upon maturity after two year, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply.
After four month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the Sonacop petroleum corporation that Mr.Rahman Ibrahim died as a result of torture in the hand of Sadam Hussein during one of his trips to his country Iraq. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Rahman Schmitt , did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$10,400,000.00 has been floating as unclaimed since 2000 in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones. According to the Benin law at the expiration of 5 (Five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Benin Government if nobody applies to claim the fund and the five years has elapsed, my proposal is that i want to seek your consent as a foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money as the next of kin to the deceased so that the bank will transfer the money to your designated account. All documents and proof to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out.
I have secured from the probate an order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that the business is a risk free involvement. Your share stays while the rest will be for me and for investment purposes as I will leave Benin Cotonou by the end of the year.
The sharing of the funds will be based according to agreement between you and me. As soon as i receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in acceptance to our mutual business proposal,I will furnish you with the necessary modalities and disbursement ratio to suit both parties without any conflict. If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust i have bestowed in you.
