Dear Friend / Urgent Call!.
Sir,
I know this mail might come to you as a suprise since we don't know eachother before but am assuring you that it is a beneficial business transaction in good faith and confidence.
By introduction,I am the International Remittance Director of the Intercontinental Bank Plc cotonou in the capital city of cotonou de Benin republic.
On November 21st 2002,a Brazilian Oil consultant/contractor with the Benenoise Solid Minerals Corporation,Mr.Mauricio Jose De Matos made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$8,000,000.00 (Eight Million Dollars only) 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,I sent a reminder and finally I discovered that Mr.Mauricio Jose De Matos died on an Air crash.Further investigations to trace his next of kin was fruitless.Again,I made further investigation and discovered
that Mr.Matos did not declare any kin in all his official documents
covering his Deposited fund worth of US$8,000,000.00 and as fund is still laying unclaimed in my Bank, no one can ever come forward to claim it due to the International Banking ethics,codes and Laws, and at the expiration of 2(Two) years being end of this year 2005,this fund will be revert to the ownership of the Benin Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
I will like you as a foreigner to come freely to stand as the next of
kin to Mr.Mauricio Jose De Matos no matter anywhere you are
residencing.This is simple,I will like you to respond immediately onconfirmation of your kind interest, with your full names and
address,confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication,a bank account in any part of the world that you will provide for the transfer of this fund to you as the beneficiary/next of kin.We shall need to prepare the necessary documents that will put you in place as the next of kin legally and officially just to avoid any eyebrow.After the successful transfer into your designated bank account, we are going to share it in the ratio of 70% for me,25% for you and 5% mapped out for any expenditur we might incure along the line while this business
progresses.
For your information,this is risk-free tarnsaction in good faith and
confidence.I guarantees you 100% of the successful execution of this transaction.I shall provide you with more details that will help you understand this transaction in advance.You are advised to observe utmost confidentiality of this business 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.
