in the capital city of cotonou de NIGEIRA
This is a very confidential proposition for you. On November 21st 2002,
a Brazilian Oil consultant/contractor with the Benenoise Solid Minerals
Corporation, Mr.Robert Ebner De Matos made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit
for twelve calendar months, valued at ($30million) Thirty-Million Dollars
Only in an ) 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.Mauricio Jose De Matos
died on an Air Crash.
Further investigations,and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless.
Again,I made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Matos did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank.
This sum of $30million is still sitting in my Bank No one will ever
come forward to claim it. According to the International Banking
ethics,codes
and Laws, at the expiration of 2(Two) years, the money will revert to the
ownership of the NIGEIRA 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.Mauricio Jose De Matos. 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. A bank account in any part of the world that
you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you
as the beneficiary/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
transaction
would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your
assistance
to invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply.
