E-Mail:
Dear Sir,
RE: URGENT INVESTMENT REQUEST/ FUND TRANSFER.
I wish to bestow this mutual trust on you, which I believe you will
not
ignore or betray. I also apologize in advance for any inconvenience
this
letter may cause you. I am Barrister FAITH WILLIAM DUBEM the Personal
Attorney to late Mr ABDUSALAM HASSAN, who was Importer of Textiles and
Automobiles here in Benin Republic for past 19yrs.
But unfortunately my client and his family died in the ill-fated
plane
crash involving a Boeing 727 UTA chartered flight that took off from
Cotonou, Republic of Benin and crashed into the Atlantic ocean on
Thursday,
25 December 2003. And about 111 passengers were killed For details of
the
plane crash, please visit:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html.
As a matter of fact, my client has made a fixed deposit amount
valued
at (USD$8.5M) with one of the COMMERCIAL BANKS here in Benin Republic,
and
upon the duration time of their agreement, this bank started contacting
him
but no response.
Consequently, the bank issued me a notice as his personal attorney
to
provide the next of kin to the deceased or have his account confiscated
after two years, as it is in the law of their banking policy. Since
then, I
have made several contacts to His Country's Embassy in order to locate
any
of my clients extended relatives, but no success was made. So since I
made
no success in locating the relatives for over a period of months now, I
seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since
none of
his relatives were no way to be found so that the account value of
US$8.5m
could be transferred into your own bank account, thereafter, both of us
will
discuss on the sharing percentage ratio for this mutual transaction,
While I
will invest my own part into a lucrative investment project and you
will be
my trusty manager there. Therefore if you welcomes this request please
forward the following:
1) Your full name.
2) Your contact address.
3) Your phone and fax numbers.
Upon confirmation,subsequent measures has to be taken towards
transfer of
the money to your bank account.
Finally, be informed that no risk is involved in this transfer because
I
have all it takes and the data of my late client as the bank may demand
. Therefore get in touch with me as quickly as possible through the
telephone number and E-mail above , to enable us discuss more on how to
move
forward to complete this business transcation successfully. I am
waiting
your urgent reply.
Thanks and God bless you,
BARRISTER. WILLIAM FAITH DUBEM ESQ
