Attention: Recipient,
I am Mr. Thomas Azado the head of Operation and accounts with a bank here
in Cotonou, Benin Republic.I have a confidential business proposition for
you. On September 2002, One of our dear costumer also a National of India,
who used to be a private contractor with the Mobil Petroleum Company in
Benin Republic, Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar
months, valued at US$7000,000.00 in my branch.
Upon maturity in 2007, 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, Mobil Petroleum Company in Benin
Republic that he and his wife with their Two children were involved in an
auto crash, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.I
therefore made further investigation and discovered that he did not declare
any Inheritors or relations in his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$7000,000.00 have been floating as unclaimed since 2002 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 .
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin and beneficiary as
you are bearing the same last name with our deceased customer for us to
claim and share the proceeds of this late client's account before our bank
turns it over to our government treasury is unclaimed fund.We will discuss
the sharing once i received your interesting response.
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 private telephone
number,your contact address and your date of birth.You will be entitled to
35% of the total sum. should you be willing to assist me in this business
transaction and I will get the remaining 60%. 5% will be for re-imbursement
of expenses we may incur during the transfer of the fund.
Your positive response will be highly appreciated.
