Subject: Good day to you (from Donald Rashid)
*Good day to you.
*
*I am Donald Rashid the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting
section of Bank of Africa Benin in West Africa,and also a special account
officer of Mr.
Farid Hakim, a Lebanese. He was a Seasoned Contractor with Benin Cement
Company in Benin Republic., who unfortunately died in the plane crash of
Union Transport Africaines Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou, Benin republic on
the december 25,2003. *
**
*Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr. Farid Hakim has a fixed
deposit with the bank and no other person knows about this account or any
thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation
proved to me that his supposed next of kin died along with him in the crash.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts,I decided to contact you. I contacted you to assist in
repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated
or declared unserviceable by the bank. *
**
*Consequently, Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
over 12 months now. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$6.8
million can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 70% to
me and 30% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to
enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. *

*If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email your following
information to me:*

*Complete names
Private telephone number
Private fax number
Private email*
