Subject: Hello Sir
From:DR.Osuji Marshal.
Central Audit Accounts Department
Zenith Bank Plc, Cotonou Benin Republic.
Dear Friend,
I am DR.Osuji Marshal, Head of the Central Auditing and Accounts Department of Zenith Bank Plc
Cotonou Benin Republic. With due respect and regards I write to solicit your assistance in a
business transaction.I decided to contact you on this business transaction hoping that it will
be very beneficial to both of us at its successful conclusion.
I got your contact through my concerted effort in securing a reliable individual to consummate
this transaction with and I earnestly plead for your pardon for any inconvenience this may cause
you.
The amount is large but I have the feeling that you can conveniently handle it without any
problem.
During our periodic Audit Exercise in this bank we came across a very huge sum of money belonging
to a deceased customer who died in November 2001 in a plane crash.The fund has been dormant in
his account under our custody without any claim of the fund either from his family or relations
before our discovery to this development.The bank financial policy stipulates that if an account
is not operated for more than seven years the proceed of that account is confiscated/taken over
by the bank.
Personally, I kept this information as a secret between me and my partner.We also smartly audited
the account to sooth our purpose for a future plan.This plan is now suitable for execution as we
have done all the spade work against future findings.The said amount is Fifteen Million United
States Dollars Only (US$15, 000, 000.00).Meanwhile all the whole arrangement and necessary
approvals to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased has been
gotten and put in place.
Our immediate requirement is to have a willing and cooperative foreign partner who will stand
as the next of kin and this money will be transferred into his/her account.
Directives and needed documents or information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate
your interest and willingness to assist us in actualizing this plan.This is a golden opportunity
to benefit you and indirectly make our living in this world worth the while.In fact we could have
done this deal alone but because of our position in this country as civil servants we are not
allowed to operate a foreign account while under service.As a management staff in the bank eye
brows may be raised during the course of transfer if our account is used.
I hope you understand.This is the actual reason why it will require a foreign party who will
forward claims as the next of kin.On your request to the bank and after the official protocols
this money will be transferred into any given foreign account by you. This aspect has been duly
taken care of by us.I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is a hundred percent
risk free and will be transacted in the most legitimate manner.
It may also interest you to know that at the conclusion of this business you will be entitled to
thirty percent (30%) of the total sum as compensation,while sixty percent (60%) will be held on
trust for me. The balance of ten percent (10%) will be set aside to take care of expenses on both
sides that may arise during the course of transfer.
We intend to enter into partnership business with you in your country or any country you deem
suitable. Please, keep top secret and confidential of this proposal as we are still in service
and do not want to risk the loss of our job.We hope to happily retire from service after
concluding this deal with you. I personally will be monitoring the transaction and situation
here in the bank until you confirm the eventual transfer of the money in your account.
We shall visit your country for celebration and subsequent sharing of the fund according to
percentages previously.
Thank you whilst waiting to hear from you.
Yours sincerely,
DR.Osuji Marshal.
Zenith Bank Plc
Cotonou Benin Repulic.
