ATTENTION PLEASE! THIS IS NOT A SPAM MAIL:
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I GUESS MY LETTER WILL NOT EMBARRASS YOU, SINCE I
HAS NO PREVIOUS CORRESPONDENCE WITH YOU. I WOULD NOT REGRET APPROACHING YOU IN THIS MATTER . IT IS MY BELIEF THAT
I CANNOT CONTINUE LEAVING A MONOTONOUS AND UNAMBITOUS EXISTENCE; THE KIND
OF LIFE THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG MEN LIVES, WHO HAVE NO PROSPECT
AND WHO WILL BE DOING THE SAME THING IN ANOTHER TWENTY YEARS TIME AS THEY
ARE DOING NOW.
I AM MR. DEBBY KAMAR, CHIEF AUDITOR-GENERAL CONTINENTAL TRUST BANK
LIMITED, COTONOU MAIN BRANCH. ,FOR REASONS WHICH WILL COME TO LIGHT AS
YOU READ ON. I OBTAINED YOUR ADDRESS PARTICULARLY FOR THE SAKE OF THIS
BUSINESS PROPOSITION. PLEASE EXERCISE SOME PATIENCE AND READ THROUGH MY MESSAGE.
I HAVE A VERY URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS TO PROPOSE TO YOU. ON
THURSDAY JUNE 6TH 2000, AN OIl CONSULTANT/CONTRACTOR WITH THE BENIN REPUBLIC
OIL MINISTRY, MR. YOUSEFF ABDULLAH, AN IRAQI NATIONAL,MADE A NUMBERED TIME
FIXED DEPOSIT FOR FIFTY CALENDAR MONTHS, VALUE (USD 65 MILLION) sixty Five million United States Dollars
DEPOSIT IN MY BRANCH.ON MATURITY, WE SENT A ROUTINE NOTIFICATION TO HIS FORWARDING ADDRESS
BUT GOT NO REPLY.AFTER A MONTH, WE SENT A REMINDER AND FINALLY, HIS
EMPLOYERS,WROTE TO INFORM US THAT MR. ABDULLAH DIED IN AN AUTO MOBILE
ACCIDENT. THAT HE DIED WITHOUT MAKING A WILL WHILE ATTEMPT TO TRACE HIS
NEXT OF KIN THROUGH THE IRAQI EMBASSY PROVED FRUITLESS. AT FIRST, I
WAS SURPRISED THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH OFFICIAL CO-OPERATION IN MY
ENQUIRIES IN ORDER TO TRACE HIS KIN IN IRAQ AND INFORM THEM ABOUT MR.ABDULLAH?S
DEPOSIT OF (USD 65 MILLION) sixty Five million United States Dollars.
FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT MR. ABDULLAH WAS ACTIVELY OPPOSED
TO IRAQ GOVERNMENT OF LEAD BY THE FORMER PRESIDENT SADDAM HUSSEIN OF IRAQ
AS A RESULT, HE WAS DRIVEN INTO EXILE. BEING AN OIL EXPERT, MR.ABDULLAH
SUBSEQUENTLY OBTAINED A JOB IN COTONOU BENIN REPUBLIC HERE, AND SETTLED IN BENIN.
THEREAFTER HE WALKED INTO MY OFFICE TO MAKE THE AFORE-MENTIONED DEPOSIT
OF (USD 65 MILLION) sixty Five million United States Dollars. HE DID NOT DECLARE HIS KIN IN HIS APPLICATION PAPER WORK.
WHEN I ASKED HIM, HE INFORMED ME THAT HE WISHED IT SO.
IN THE CONSERVATIVE MANNER OF OUR BANK. (MY EMPLOYER), I DID NOT TURN
DOWN HIS WISH BUT RATHER HONOURED IT ESPECIALLY GIVEN HIS HIGH NET WORTH. IN
REALITY,NO ONE KNOWS THE SOURCE OF HIS MONEY SINCE APPARENTLY, THE TIME
FRAME OF HIS EMPLOYMENT HERE DOES INDEED PRECLUDE SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT
OF MONEY. IT IS THEREFORE PRESUMED THAT HE BROUGHT IN HIS MONEY FROM
IRAQ ALTHOUGH THIS IS OPEN TO SPECULATION. THE POINT HOWEVER IS THAT THE
EMPLOYERS ARE NOT AWARE OF HIS MONEY,THEREFORE ONE CAN SAFELY INFER
THAT NO ONE WILL EVER COME TO THIS MONEY. THIS FUND,TOTALLING
(USD 65 MILLION) sixty Five million United States Dollars IS STILL SITTING IN MY BANKS
DORMANT ACCOUNT PORTFOLIO. ACCORDING TO BENIN REPUBLIC BANKING LAWS AND ACT OF
1993,THE MONEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY REVERT TO THE BENIN GOVERNMENT TREASURY
AFTER FIVE YEARS, ESPECIALL IF THE ACCOUNT OWNER IS A FOREIGNER WHO HAS BEEN
CERTIFIED DEAD AND THERE IS NO VALID CLAIM, THIS INDEED, IS THE
SITUATION.
I AM THUS LOOKING FOR A FOREIGNER WHO WILL STAND-IN AS THE NEXT OF KIN
TO MR. ABDULLAH.IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE A BLOOD RELATION TO MR.ABDULLAH,
NEITHER IS IT NECESSARY TO BEAR THE SAME SURNAME WITH HIM. IT IS EVEN
NOT IMPORTANT FOR THE STAND-IN NEXT OF KIN TO BE AN IRAQ NATIONAL.
ALREADY, I HAVE WORKED OUT MODALITIES FOR ACHIEVING MY AIM OF APPOINTING A
NEXT OF KIN AS WELL AS TRANSFER THE MONEY ABROAD FOR US TO SHARE. IT IS
MY INTENTION TO ACHIEVE THIS TRANSFER IN A LEGITIMATE WAY BY SIMPLY USING
AND ATTORNEY(REPRESENTING YOU AS BENEFICIARY) TO EXECUTE A SERIES OF
AFFIDAVITS
IN SUPPORT OF YOUR CLAIM THIS WILL BE APPROVED. THE MONEY TRANSFER
PAPER WORK ITSELF WILL INCLUDE A CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN SO THAT THE RECEIVING
BANK DOES NOT ASK QUESTION OR WORSE STILL REFUSE THE FUND ACCEPTANCE ON
GROUND OF LAUNDERING. ALSO, THE PAPER WORK WILL INCLUDE PROPER CERTIFICATION
THAT THE FUND BEING TRANSFERRED IS FROM NON-CRIMINAL SOURCES.
IN SHORT THIS WILL BE A PROPER AND LEGAL MONEY TRANSFER WITH APPARENTLY NO
RISK INVOLVED! THE ATTORNEY WILL HAVE TO PROCESS THE INITIAL PAPER WORK
TO OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM THE PROBATE REGISTRY OF THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE
FOR THE LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION EMPOWERING YOU AS THE SOLE TRUSTEE/EXECUTOR TO
THE ESTATE OF MR. ABDULLAH. IF YOU THEREFORE AGREE TO BE THE OFFICIAL
BENEFICIARY,THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO SIGN ANY
MONEY TRANSFER DOCUMENTS, AS THE APPOINTED ATTORNEY WILL DO ALL THAT. ALSO,
YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO VISIT COTONOU BENIN REPUBLIC.
I WILL ALSO NEED THE ABOVE INFORMATION ONCE I HAVE THE REQUIRED
INFORMATION AS ABOVE, I WILL INITIATE THE PROCESSING OF THE TRANSFER, AND IN ABOUT
TEN (10)WORKING DAYS, THE FUND WILL BE IN YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT FOR
US TO SHARE IN THE RATIO OF: 65%FOR ME 30% FOR YOU WHILE 5% HAS BEEN SET
ASIDE FOR LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPENSES. THE TRANSACTION IS GUARANTEED TO
SUCCEED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. AS SOON AS I HEAR FROM YOU, I SHALL
PROVIDE YOU WITH FURTHER CLARIFICATION THAT YOU MAY NEED.
