BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT
FOREIGN REMMITTANCE DEPT.
BRUND BANK BENIN-COTONOU
REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
Dear Good Friend
I am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign Remmittance
Department Of BRUND BANK BENIN.I am writing following the impressive
information about you through an internet buisiness proposal.In my department we
discovered an abandoned sum of 55m, Us dollors(FIFTY FIVE MILLION US
Dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foriegn customer who
died along with his entirer family in December,2003 in plane crash.
Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because we can not release
it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
decease as indicated in our banking guidlines and laws,
but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side
with him at the plane clash leaving no body behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department now decided to make this business proposal to you and
release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the decease for
safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we
dont want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money
remained unclaimed after five years, the money will be transfered into the bank
as unclaimed fund. The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is
occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a
beninois cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.We agree that 30% of this
money will be for you as a foreign partner,in respect to the provision
of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred
during the business and 60% will be for me and my collegues. There after I and
my collegues will visit your country for disbursment according to the
percentages indicated.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as
arrange,you must apply first to the bank as relation or next or kin of
the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account, 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
business is hicth-free and that you should not entertain any atom of
fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer.
You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Yours faithfully,
DR HENRY TUNDE..
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
