Calvary Greetings.
I am Mr Patrick Diallo, Audit Manager Bank of Africa Benin. in the capital
city of cotonou Benin republic, and assittance This is a very confidential
proposition for you. On April 21st 1999, A Swedish Oil consultant/contractor
with the Benenoise Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.Soren Andersson made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$8,000,000.00
(Eight Million Dollars only)in my branch.
Upon maturity on November 20th 2003 as his Credit Officer, I sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we
sent a reminder and finally i discovered from his contract employers, the
Benenoise Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr.Soren Anderson died on auto
accident with his entire family.
Further investigations,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
Again,I made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Soren Anderson
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including
his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of US$8,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank No one will ever
come forward to claim it.
According to the International Banking ethics,codesand Laws, at the expiration
of 7(Two) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Benin Government
if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to Mr.Soren. This is simple, I will like you to respond
immediately with your full names and address so that we will prepare the
necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next
of kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio
of 70% for me and some of my colleagues who are aware of this transaction
and 25% for you and 5% for Expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by my colleagues and with my position as the Foreign Remmitance Director
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your
confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. You should
observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this transactio
n would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance
to invest my share in your country. For privacy please reply to private email
(patrickdiallo10@yahoo.co.uk) if possible call me at +229-720 049.
