Bill and Exchange Manager International Bank Of Africa
Cotonou,Benin Republic.
Dear Friend,
I am a staff of International Bank Of Africa (I.B.A), in the file/computer
department.In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of $10m US dollars
(Ten Million US
dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who
died along with his entire family on 26th December 2003 in a plane crash.

Since we got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of
kin to come over and claim his money because the management cannot release
it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all
his family died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind
for the claim.Since you have the same surname with this deceased customer
you can easyly make this deal with me,I will assist you locate an ATTORNEY
who will stand on your behalf to get every proof document which will help
you to execute this money.It is therefore upon this discovery that I 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 I dont want this money to go
into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Beninois cannot stand as
next of kin to a
foreigner.I agree that 40 % of this money will be for you as foreign
partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set
aside for expenses incured during the business and 50 % wouldbe for me.
There after I will visit your country for
disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the
deceased indicating your
bank name, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where in the money will be remitted.
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 is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear
as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer .
Trusting to hear from you immediately.
Best regards.
Mr John Wilson
