Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?from=20goodman?=
From Mr.john goodman,
Banque Internationale
Du Benin (I.B.D.B)
ATTENTION:
I am Mr.john goodman, in charge of bills and foreign exchange remittance
Department of Banque Internationale Du Benin (I.B.D.B). I am writing you
this letter to ask for your support and co-operation to carry out this business
opportunity in my department.
We discovered an unclaimed sum of $45Million (Forty-five Million
Dollars) in an account belonging to one Willie Jackson Sr our customer,
who died in a plane crash with the entire family in year 31st October,
1999 on Egyptian air with other passengers on board as you can confirm it
yourself via the website below:
http://www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm .
Since we got information about his death we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money.
Unfortunately, neither the family nor the relation has appeared to
claim this money.
We cannot release this money unless somebody applies as the next of kin
or relation to the deceased. Our banking guidelines indicated that if such
money remained unclaimed for a period of ten (10) years, it would be transferred
into Banque Internationale Du Benin (I.B.D.B) Treasury as unclaimed fund.
Another officer and I in the department now decided to transfer this money
into your account as the next of kin or relation of the deceased for easy
collection since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to
go back into the bank's treasury as an unclaimed debt.
Infact it is my friend that advised me to urgently arrange to transfer
out this money through another foreign beneficiary outside the country.
We have decided to give you 35% of the total sum. So please, as a
matter of urgency send to me your telephone and fax numbers for effective
communication as well as your full residential address and account information,
also for remitting out the fund . I will do my best to see that we conclude
this transaction successfully on time.
Please if you are interested send me an immediate mail, so that I can
explain the details to you to understand everything about this business.I
am waiting for your urgent positive response.
Best Regards.
John .
