REMITTANCE OF (US$20. Million) CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE.
Dear Friend ,
I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department in the Bank Of Africa (B.O.A). In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of US$20m dollars (TWENTY MILLION US DOLLARS) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family on (Monday 31st July 2000) in a plane crash. FOR MORE INFORMATION

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking gildings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after eight years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Benin indigine cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.
( DIRECTORS-General ) BANK OF AFRICA BENIN REPUBLIC.
I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foreign account , 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 55% would be for me Thereafter, I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application .I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully, MR. HAMARA BELLO.BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER BANK OF AFRICA( B.O.A).
