Subject: FROM Mr.JOHN, CONTACT ME ASAP.
FROM DR. JOHN ROLLAND.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK ANNEX,
COTONOU-REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
WEST AFRICA.
Dear friend,
I am the director in charge of auditing and accounting section of AFRICAN
DEVELOPMENT BANK ANNEX COTONOU-REPUBLIC OF BENIN Of Africa in west Africa
with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be beneficial to both of us at the end of the
transaction .
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came
across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on
November 16 2000 in a plane crash and the fund has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either
from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and
partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable and successful
during the time of execution. The said amount was us$18.5M usd (Eighteen
million Five hundred thousand united states dollars). As it may interest you
to know, I got your contact informations through the internet website and
after i prayed for GOD'S devine mercies,i decided to contact you over this
enterpresing transcation that both of us must benefits from this business of
such magnitude without any problem.
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement 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 us and also benefit your self to this
great business opportunity. In fact I could have done this deal alone but
because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not
allowed to operate a foreign accountand would eventually raise an eye brow
on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is
the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will
forward claims as the next of kin with affidavit of trust of oath to the
Bank and also present a foreign account where he will need the money to be
re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due verification and
clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money
will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction is 100% risk free as I
have made arrangements for a successful deal before contacting you.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the
total sum as gratification,while 10% will be set aside to take care of
expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone
bills, while 60% will be for me and my partners. Please, you have been
adviced to keep top secret as we are still in service and intend to retire
from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will 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 for
subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated
and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us
to invest in.
All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you.
I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible via telephone and also
through this email,stating your wish in this deal.
Yours faithfully.
Dr. John Rolland
