Greetings,
I would not have used this medium (Internet) but I chose to reach you through it because it is the fastest, surest and most secured medium of communication.

Kigali, A financial officer of ECO BANK PLC COTONUE (REP OF BENIN). I am contacting you based on Trust and confidentiality that will be attached to this transaction.
The Management and the Legal department of our bank in a recent meeting, Recommended that the account of MR.HEINRICH KIMMIG a German citizen, who was one of my branch depositor, should be declared Dormant, confiscated and the depositor's fund sent to the Bank Treasury according to REP OF BENIN Banking and financial law. He died in world trade centre as a victims of the September 11,2001.Incident that befall the United State of America, the bank has made series of efforts to contact any of the relatives to claim this money but without success, you can confirm through this site:
http://www.september11victims.com/september11Victims/victims_list.htm
MR.HEINRICH KIMMIG is an account holder in my branch, he owns a dollar account with the sum of US$42M (Forty Two Million United States Dollars Only) deposited in a Secret account with my branch .In fact, since his death, no next of kin of the Dollar account holder (the brother) nor any relative of him has shown up for the claim this because he has the account as a secret account thus he left all the documents for the deposit with me.
This is where I am interested and where I want you to come in. I want you to come in as the relation of the deceased, I will give you the relevant documents and contacts to file the application and then effect the approvals for the transfer of the fund, I will be the one to provide the vital documents for the claims of the fund and then advice you exactly how we should handle it.

We will use our positions to get all internal documentations to back up the claims. Do not be bothered that you are not related in any way to him as I am in position to affix your name as the next of kin.
The whole Procedures will last only 7 working days to get the fund retrieved successfully without trace even in future. After the transfer of the money we shall share the money 60-40.that is I will have 60% while you have 40%.
I await your urgent response.
