FROM MR.ABDUL LAWAL
FINANCIAL BANK OF BENIN
REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
WEST AFRICA.
DEAR FRIEND
I am MR.ABDUL LAWAL, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Financial Bank of Benin
cotonou Republic of Benin in West Africa with due respect and regard. I
have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank,my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died
in(Kenya Airways jet)plane crash on the January 30, 2000 in abidjan replublic
of ivory
coast.(http://www.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/africa/01/30/kenya.airways.crash.01/index.html)and
since his untimely death the funds has been dormant in his account with
this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family
or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners
to enable the whole plans and idea be
Profitable and successful during the time of execution.The said amount
was US$24.1M(Twenty Four million One
Hundred Thousand united states dollars).As it may interest you to know,
I got your impressive information through my a
friends who works with the Ministry of Information here in Cotonou-Benin.
It is him who recommended your person to me to be viable and capable to
champion a business of such magnitude without any problem .Meanwhile all
the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of
kin to the deceased,get the required approval and transfer this money to
a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information
will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness
to assist us and also benefit yourself to this
great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this deal alone but
because of m position in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed
to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my
side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank.This is the
actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward
claims as the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account
where he will need the money to be re-transferred into on hisrequest as
it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent
branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own
designated bank account. May I at this point emphasize that this transaction
is 100% risk free as I have made arrangements for a successful arrangement
as an insider of the bank before contacting you. On smooth conclusion of
this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification,
while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during
the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while 60% will be for me
and my partners.Please, you have been adviced to keep this a top secret
as
we are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude
this deal with you. I will be monitoring
the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your
account and ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of
the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment,
either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in. All other
necessary information will be sent to you on your acceptance to champion
this transaction with me. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible
on my
personal email address stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.ABDUL LAWAL
