Cheif auditor.
Dear Sir
I am Mr Frank Gumez the Cheif auditor and working with a bank here in
Cotonou, Benin Republic. I Wolfgang Karl Patzschke a National of German,
who used to be a private contractor with the Shell Petroleum Development
Company in Benin Republic,
He Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at
GBP£12,500,000.00 (Twelve Million,Five Hundred Pounds) in my branch. Upon
maturity in 2004, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract employers, Shell Petroleum Development Company in Benin Republic
that our client and his wife with their three children were involved in an
auto crash, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Wolfgang Karl
Patzschke did not declare any next of kin or relations in his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of GBP£12,500,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed since 2004
in my bank as all efforts to get his relatives have hit the stones.
According to the Benin law at the expiration of 5 (FIVE) years, the Money
will revert to the ownership of the Benin Government if nobody applies to
claim the fund.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years
now,I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin and beneficiary
for us to claim and share the proceeds of this late client's account before
our bank turns over to our government treasury is unclaimed fund.
We will discause the sharing once i received your interesting responce. All
I require is your Co-operation, Confidentiality and Trust to enable us see
this transaction through. I guarantee you that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me and provide me with the following:
1. Your Full Name:
2. Your Contact Cell Phone Number:
3. Your Age:
4. Your Sex:
5. Your Occupations:
6. Your Country and City:
