Dear VICTIMNAME,
I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarasement by contacting you through this means for a transaction of this magnitude.Due to the confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium,it became necessary for me to seek your assistance and itis imperative for me to know your opinion.
In a brief introduction,I am Alfred Fifaji, the Director of Operation with Inter-Continental Bank Plc Cotonou-Benin Republic. I have a very interesting deal to discuss with you, the deal under discussion has to do with one George W.Stearns, a national of your country, who was employed as a Consultant/contractor with Societe Nationale Des Products D' Agricole (SONAPRA) a cotton manufacturing company in Cotonou-Benin.
On 25th December 2003, Mr. George W.Stearns with his wife and their only daughter was involved in a plane crash victims with Boeing 727-type air plane belonging to African Transport Union (ATU). In this fatal tragidy with Beirut-bound flight, 110 persons died and Over 40 others still reported missing, while 22 passengers survived, you may confirm the event of the air crash
through, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3350455.stm
Consequently, George made a numbered time (fixed) deposited for twelve calendar and his account with our Bank accrues to USD4.452M.(Four Million, Four hundred and Fifty-Two Thousand US Dollars) Hence my decision to contact you so that you an I will go into partnership hence late George has no other relative to claim his left fund in our bank. However,the nature of your business is completely irrelevant to this transaction as all I need from you is an assurance that my interest will be fully protected once this deal is concluded.
All I want you to do is for you to present yourself to Inter-Continental Bank Plc Cotonou-Benin Republic. as the next of kin to Late George W.Stearns because he is a foriegner as you are. The Government of this country may have this fund reverted to its ownnership as an abaundoned treasury if no body applies as the next of kin to the deceased person.Therefore, you as a foreigner is fully qualified to stand as the next of kin to late George so that all that this man had laboured for years before his suden death will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
Please note that There is no risk at all, my position as the Director of Operation guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. It is expected that upon the receipt of your acceptance, this transaction will be concluded within 7 Banking days and the money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 40% for you and 60% for me.
Please if you are interested, kindly reply me and send to me your private phone or mobile number(s) for easier correspondence.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Alfred.
