Subject: Very Urgent Attention Needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Director,Auditting Department,
Financial Bank,
Cotonou - Benin
West Africa.

Dear Sir,
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 .As it may interest you I got your impressive information
through chambers of commerce on foreign bussiness relations here in
cotonou,Republic du Benin,W/Africa.
During our last auditing in this bank,my department came across a very
huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in ill-fated
plane crash involving a Boeing 727 UTA chartered flight that took off from
Cotonou, Republic of Benin and crashed into the Atlantic ocean on Thursday,
25 December 2003. For details of the plane crash,please visit:
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
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$15M (Fifteen Million
United States Dollars)in fixed deposit account.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the
bonafide next of kin to the deceased,has been perfected and 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 in this mutually
benefitted business transaction.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in
this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign
account and would ventually 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 the money will be transferred on his request as it
may be after due verification and clarification by the claim's and
verification board in the bank.
I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free as
all the loop holes has been plugged. On smooth conclusion of this
transaction,you will be entitled to 25% of the total sum as gratification,
while 75% will be for me and my partners.
Please, you have been adviced to keep top secret as we are still in
service and intend to retire peacefully from service after the conclusion
of this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in the 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 for further investment,either in your country or any country you
may advice us to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you
as soon as you indicate your willingness to do this business with us.
Best regards,
Williaems.
