FROM THE DESK OF MR JAMES NEAL.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING MANAGER
CONTINETAL BANK BENIN (C.B.B)
COTONOU BENIN WEST AFRICA.
Hello Dear,
I am the Auditing and Accounting Manager (C.B.B) here in Cotonou Benin .In
my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$25m dollars (TWENTY FIVE
MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
who died along with his entire family in Jully 2000 in a plane crash.
FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT THIS SITE BELOW
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since we got information about his death,we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated
in our banking guidlings and laws, but unfortunately we learnt that all
his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him
at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and 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 guidline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the
bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin
in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner
and a Béninois cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision
of a foriegn account,10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during
the business and 60% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country
for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore,to enable
the immediate transfer of this fund to you, Your full contact
address 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 it to the bank for approval,I will
not fail to bring to your notice this transaction is hitch-free and that
you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have
been made for the transfer of the fund before contacting you.
You should therefor contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.Through
my privert E-mail:james_neal@02.pl
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
MR James Neal.
