FROM THE DESK OF THE MANAGER,
BILL AND EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT,
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA
ZONE DE COMMERCE,
COTONOU BENIN REPUBLIQUE.
website:www.iboa.be.cx
Dear sir
I am JEAN CLAUDE ADAMA, the manager of bills and exchanges at the foreign
remittance Department of INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA COTONOU BENIN
REPOBLIQUE. I am writing following the information about you through
International web directory and wish I know you are capable and reliable
person to champion this business opportunity.
In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of USD 18.5 m ,(Eighteen
million,five hundred thousand United State dollars). in an alloted vault in
the bank, that belongs to one of our foreign customer(MR.ANDREAS SCHRANNER)
who died along with his wife and only daughter in 31 July, 2000 plane crash
in western German city of Moenchengladbach.
Since we got informations about his death, we have been expecting his next
of kin to come over and claims his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody apply for it as next of kin or relation to the died customer as
indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately we learnt
that all his surpposed next-of-kin or relation died along side with him at
the plane crash leaving no body behind for the claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in our
institution now decided to make this business proposal to you and release
the safe-box containing money to you as the next-of-kin or relation to the
died customer for safety and subsequent disbursement, since no body is
coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury
unclaimed.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money/deposit
remained unclaimed after five to six years, the money/deposit will be
transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request for a
foreigner as next-of-kin in this business is occassioned by the act that the
customer was a foreigner and a Togoleise can not stand as next-of-kin to a
foreigner.
We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for
expenses incured during this business and 60 % would be for me and my
colleagues. Thereafter I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the
immediate transfer of this fund to you as been arranged, you must apply
first to the bank as relation or next-of-kin of the died customer.
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or e-mail, the text of
the application you will transcribe as your order and send to the bank. I
will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free
and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer.
YOURS SINCERELY,
Fergusson Mgbaji
MANAGER FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT,
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA COTONOU BENIN REPUBLIQUE.
