Dear Friend,
Greetings to you.
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is
only a
day that people meet and become great friends and business partners.
My name is DR AL-FUHARD B.Q. MOHAMMED , the present Director,
Audit and Accounting Unit Foreign Remittance Department Bank of Africa
here
in Benin Republic West Africa.
I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you
with
the information I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I have
transaction
that will benefit both of us, as your
assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head offi ce, but last
December I was asked to take position of a Manager of our branch in
Cotonou
who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and
discovered a
fortune.
As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with the total sum of 4.6
million
USD that has not been operated on for the past 5 years.
>From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one
Late Mr.
Ziya Bazhayev a Russian big time Oil dealer, who unfortunately lost his
life
in the Yak-40jetliner on March 9,
2000.
You will read more news about the crash on visiting these site;

http://archives.cnn.com/2000/WORLD/europe/03/09/russia.crash.04/
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody
has
come forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr. Ziya
Bazhayev
meaning that no one is aware of the account.
I cannot directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner
and
that is why I am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds
and
share it with me.
As the Manager of my bank branch, I have the power to influence the
release
of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the
account,with the correct information concerning the account, which I
shall
give you. I am seeking your co -operation to present you
as the next of kin to the account.
There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to
share
the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied.
Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work
together, so as to give you more details.
Thanking you in advance and may Almighty God bless you.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent response.
Regards,
DR AL-FUHARD B. MOHAMMED
