Dear Good Friend,
I am Dr Micheal Greg Auditing And Accounting Dept of Continental Bank
(C.B.B)Benin Republic in the file/computer deptment. I got your
contact through an internet business proposal so i decide to contact you on
this business opportunity.
In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $14.5 US dollars
(Fourteen Million Five Hundred US dollars),In an account that belongs
to one of our foreign customer ( Mr J.C.Wolf,) from Texas U.S.A who died
along with his entire family on 25th December 2003 in a plane crash.

Since we got information about his death, I have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because the management cannot
release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to
the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately i
learnt that all his family died alongside with him at the plane crash
leaving nobody behind for the claim.Since you are a foreigner like this
deceased customer you can easyly make this deal with me,I will assist
you locate an ATTORNEY who will assist you get every proof document
which will help you to execut this money if you can not be able to come
down here by yourself.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this
businness 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 dont want this money to go into the Bank
treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The request of 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 40 % of this money will
be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign
account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the
business and 50 % would be for me.
There after I will visit your country for disbursement accoding 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 relations
or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, 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. I will not fail to bring to your notice that 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 .
You should contact me thruogh this my private email address
dr_mgreg4@yahoo.fr, immediately as soon as you receive this
letter.Trusting to hear from you immediately,no matter what your decision maybe.
Waiting for your urgent respond.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr Micheal Greg.
