.During the course of our auditing we discovered the sum of twelve million
five hundred thousand united states dollars (USD$12.500.000.00) floating in
an account opened in this Bank since 1997 and as from 2001 nobody has
operated on this account again, and after going through some old files in
the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a
[HEIR]sept 11th 2001 by plane crash, hence the money is floating.
After due verification I noticed that no other person knows about this
account except his wife who was also
invovled in the crash, and the account has no other beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that
untill his death he was the Director GOLD ARK [SARL] Since our bank,(African
Development Bank)Benin Rep.got
information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come
forward and claim his money because we
cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation
to the deceased as indicated in our
banking guidelines and policies but up to date nobody came up to this bank
as his next of kin or relative.Since the
country law dose not allow such fund to stay more than five years, i hereby
implore you to act as the the next of kin i will
funish you with all the informations when the need arises. For easy
communication farward to me thus.
