My Dear,
Is my Pleasure writing to you at this moment of the day, I am Dr Marshal
Lagunde, the director incharge of auditing and accounting Unit of
Continental Bank in Cotonou-Benin Republic. I deem it fit to contact you
regarding to a transaction that will favour both of us at the end,I want to
know if i can trust you in claiming the fund in question.
I discovered the sum of Fifteen million United States Dollars (USD15M)
belonging to a deceased customer of this bank. The fund has been lying in a
suspence account without anybody coming to put claim over the money since
the account owner late Dr. Hamid Ayed from lebanon, who was involved in the
December 25th Benin plane crash. Here is the air crash website onfiltered=

The said fund is now ready for transfer to a foriegn account whose owner
will be portrayed as the beneficiary and next of kin to the deceased
customer of the bank.
The foriegn account owner will impost himself as the next of kin to the
deceased and respond positively like a true next of kin who wishes to speed
up the release and transfer of his inherited fund. If the over due fund if
not claimed by the end of next quarter, the government of the Federal
Republic of Benin will take over the ownership of the fund in line with the
Federal Edict Act of 1979. We do not want the government to take over the
ownership of this money, that is why I'm contacting you for us to work this
out togather, so that I will portray you as the bonafide next of kin to the
deceased whose name is Dr. Hamid Ayed.
If you accept to carry out this project with me, I will offer you 40% of the
total sum, while I will take 60% of the total sum. Upon your acceptance to
do this deal with me.Be rest assured that, this transaction carries no risk
and no extra responssibilities on your part, except the above mentioned
roles and normally you will be required to maintain absolute information and
absolute secrecy through out the duration of this transaction, because
discussing it with a third party might jeopardise the entire transaction.
Before we proceed in this great deal,i want you to forward to me ASAP the
following information below as to establish a mutual understanding;
1)Your Residential/Office Address.
2)Your Telephone/Fax Number.
3)Your profession.
4)Your Age/Marital status.
I am looking forward to receiving your interesting response on this project
as this will greatly enrich both of us at the end.
