My dear friend,
My name is mr.victor mensah a credit officer with the one of the leading
(security&finance trust house) here in cotonou Republic Du Benin. In my
department I discovered an abandoned funds (USD 14 M) in an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS
SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in
July 2000 in a plane crash.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm
Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our Security&Finance guiding and laws but
unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died
alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business
proposal to you and release the money to you as the next
of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement
since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the
Security&Finance treasury as unclaimed bill.
The Security&Finance Trust House law and guideline here stipulates that if
such money remained unclaimed after Six years, the money will be transferred
into the Security&Finance Trust House treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Indigene cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreigner.
Your percentage will be declare to you as soon as you indicate your
interest.
I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage
indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate move of this fund to you
arranged,you must apply first to the Security&Finance Trust House as
relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating.
1.Your full name and address
2.Your telephone and fax number for easy communication.
3.Your company's name and address.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of
the application .I will not fail to bring to your notice that this
transaction s hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear
as all required arrangements have been made for the movement of the money.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Victor Mensah
