Dear Trusted Friend,
I am Richard Idris the Financial director in charge of Auditing Co-operate
and Public Accounts section of Ecobank Benin, and also a Personal Financial
Adviser to Mr. Al Saeed Ghassan, a Lebanese. He was a Seasoned Contractor
with the Benin Cement industry and a dealer in Ceramic Tiles in the Republic
of Benin. His early and tragic death in the plane crash of Union Transport
Africaines Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou, the commercial capital of the
Republic of Benin in December 25, 2003.
You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this web site (below)
for your own perusal and action pertaining this offer.
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr. Ghassan had a fixed personal
deposit account with the bank and no other person aside his biological son
Saeed, Himself and me his personal advisor in Finance knows about this
account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary than
Saeed 17, his son who also died with him in the crash. Who was, as long as
banking is concerned the rightful successor of the account.
Since then, I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this however resulted in Hajia Salamatu Ghassan his wife
and their 13 years old daughter Fati, to retrieve his co-operate account and
contract with the Cement industry and continue with their
Ceramic Tiles business. Alas! As Sole Proprietorship mostly have " When the
Don is dead the Job is Gone".
In short family war over the properties and wealth proved too much for Hajia
(wife) and her poor young daughter Fati so much that, the once vibrant
business landed in bankruptcy. The contract now has been awarded to an
Indian Entrepreneur and the dilapidation of the Ceramic warehouse now awaits
Jurisdiction to be sold or confiscated to the state.
After several unsuccessful attempts and mind boggling question I have
decided to withdraw the money and help Poor Fati, since her mother's death
as a result of "heart failure" last August 17th 2004.
This being possible because I have everything documented and a prima-facie
enough as a financial advisor to the Late Ghassan and a Professional banker.
Not talking about the personal friendship and secrets.
I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank to the
government. I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$12.6 million can
be paid to you and then you and me can share the money in proportion of 60%
to me and 40% to you. Less expenditure and overheads.
I sincerely request your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through.
I guarantee and confirm against legal backing that, the, deal hereto would
be executed beyond all reasonable doubt and append herewith rights of
protection for you and me from and against any breach of our confidential
Agreement.
All documents of transaction would be discarded and void immediately the
account is closed, hence leaving no trace and doubts for investigation.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email your following
information to me:
a. Complete names
b. Private telephone number
c. Private fax number
d. Age , Sex , Marital Status and Occupation
Upon your confidential interest call me on my phone line +229 97641110 or
response through my alternative email address.
Sincerely Yours
Richard Idris
