DR.EDWARD K.PHILIPS.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
PACIFIC CITI TRUST BANK & FINANCE CO.,
BENIN COUNTRY OFFICE,COTONOU.,REPUBLIC OF BENIN., WEST AFRICA.
Dear Martha,
I am DR.EDWARD K.PHILIPS, one of the Directors in charge of Auditing and Accounting section of (PACIFIC CITI TRUST BANK & FINANCE CO.,Cotonou,Republic of Benin.) and also Chairman of Investigating and Auditing Department.
With due respect and regards. I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of it. During our investigation and auditing in this bank,my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to one American Deceased family Mr & Mrs Ronald Lake. of Corte Madera, California.,a customer to this bank who died in a plane crash along with her husband on January 31st 2000 with Alaska Airlines Flight 261. And since then the account remains DORMANT and the fund remained UNCLAIMED with this Bank without any claim either from his family or relation, because he did not indicate any next of kin to this account incase of death such as these before this our latest discovery. As they were into big time property business in America and here in africa for some top African goverments officials before the ugly incident,
You can as well confirm it by yourself through under stated Website of the incident
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Although personally,I keep this information secret within myself and one of my partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution. The total amount is US$22,395,000.00(Twenty Two Million
Three Hundred and Ninty Five Thousand United States Dollars Only).
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through a friend of mine whom was residing in your country,but due to the confidentaility of this transaction,I did not disclose the transaction to him but decided to contact you direct for your assistance and mutual benefits to both.
Meanwhile as a Senior Staff in this bank, and the Chairman of Investigating and Auditing Department of this Bank, I have in my possession all the necessary information to perfect this deal by making you the bonafide next of kin / Business Partner whom this funds will be transferred into his account. And all the whole arrangements to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist and also benefit your self to this great life time bussines opportunity.
Infact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this Bank and also in this country as a civil servant,we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank and being that the deceased is a foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through documentations as the next of kin/business partner to them. This is the actual reason why i have contacted you for the claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to this Bank and also present a foreign account where you will need the money to be re-transferred into on your request as it may be after due verification and clarification by this bank.
What i needed most from you is your full co-operatios and assistance to get this deal conclude successfully and i will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free and on smooth conclusion of this transaction, I and my partner have decided that you take 30% of this fund for your time and efforts during the course of the transfer, while 65% will be for me and my partners and the remaining 5% will be for any expenses that you or us might incure during the pocessing of the transfer alright.
Please,you have been advised to keep top secret as we are still in service now and will not like anything to go wrong because of our job and we intend to retire from service after we concluded this deal with you. I will be personaly be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to your country or any country of your choice for subsequent sharing of the funds according to the agreed percentages previously indicated and further investment,either in your country or any other country you might advise us to invest in.
All other necessary and vital information on how to get this transaction concluded will be sent to you immediately you confirm your assistance to me.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal.On this Email Address: ed_ph00@o2.pl
Best Regards,
Dr.Edward K.Philips.
