Subject: Compliment of the season!!!!
Dear Friend. I am Mr Doussou Roland, manager audit account department of
African Development Bank(A.D.B.) . In my department we discovered an
abandoned sum of NINTEEN MILLION, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS
($19,300,000.00 ) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer
who died along with his entire family in an aeroplane crash.He died in the
December 25th Benin plane crash. (Here is the aircrash site/
ttp://http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html)
Since the bank got information about his death we have been expecting his
next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release the
fund unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws, but unfortunately
we learnt that all his supposed next of kin died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. And our banking law and
guideline here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed after five
years, such money will be moved into the banking treasurer as unclaimed fund.
The request of a foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by
the fact that the deceased customer was a foreigner, a citizen Benin cannot
stand as next of kin. If you accept my proposal to do this deal with me I
will give you 30% of the total money will be for you as a foreign partner
while 10% will be set aside to cover any expenses that might be incurred
during the process of transferring the fund to your nominated bank account.
If you're willing to handle this deal with me kind get back to me with your
Private telephone and fax numbers for easy communications well as your
personal picture or a copy of your National ID, to enable me know whom
I’m dealing with. Note: I demand the highest trust from you to keep
this business strictly confidential for security reasons as you may know that
the bank don't know that i am the one that contacted you to stand for this
claim as a next of kin. At the end of this transaction which will be when the
money will hit your account safely i will then come over to your country for
sharing the fund according to the previous agreed percentage, you might even
have to advice me on possibilities of investment in your country. Anticipate
your urgent responce Best regards, Mr Doussou Roland, Reply here;
