Dear Friend,
I am MR TONY SOSSOU the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting
Department of Afirca
Developmental Bank (ADB)Benin in West Africa, and also the account officer
of Mr.Robert
Bouabjian,(the MD Menemenlioglu construction sarl) of Lebanese Origin.
Unfortunately he died in the plane crash of Union Transport Africaines
Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou Benin Republic on the December 25,2003.You may

Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr. Robert Bouabjian had a fixed
deposit account with our bank and no other person outside the bank knows
about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other
beneficiary and my investigation proved that his supposed next of kin died
along with him in the crash. Since then I have made several enquiries to
locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you. I
contacted you to assist
in transferring the funds left behind by our client to your nominated bank
account before the
bank confiscates the fund. Consequently, since l have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for the past 2 years now I find out that his next of
kin who happen to be his only son was also involve in that plane crash.
Base on this I seek for your consent, to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased so that the funds in his account valued at USD5M can be paid
into your account as his next of kin. as soon as this funds get into your
account you will get 40% of the total sum.
I shall procure all necessary legal document that can be used to back up any
claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us
see this deal through. I guarantee that this deal will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.
All document of transaction shall be destroyed immediately we receive this
money in your bank
account leaving no trace behind. As you can see I have work with this Bank
for years now I know how all this works, this kind of business happen in
Banking industry every day, every one that work in Banking industry always
look for this kind of opportunity.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly send the following information
to me.
a. Complete names
b. Private telephone number
c. Private fax number
d. Private email
Have a nice day and God bless.
Sincerely,
MR TONY SOSSOU.
