Subject: Greetings to you
Greetings to you,
This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is
only a day that people meet and become great friends and business
partners. My name is Mr. John Clark , An Accountant working in a bank
here in Benin Republic West Africa. I write you this proposal in good
faith,believing that I can trust you with the information I am about to
reveal to you. Like I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both
of us,as your assistance is required as a foreigner.
I use to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last
December I was transfer to one of our Bank branch in Cotonou , so that
was how I became the present head accountant in the bank , during when I was
auditing all the account and I discovered a fortune .As I resumed duty,
I discovered an account with total sum of twenty Two Million United States
Dollars (USD22 Million) that has not been operated on for the past 7 years.
From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late
Frederick M. Wong, 72, West Point, Mississippi, A Chines big time Oil
dealer,who unfortunately he lost his life aboard in Egyptian Air Flight 990, which
crashed in to the Atlantic Ocean on October 31,1999. You will read more
news about the crash on visiting these site;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/502503.stm
I have kept a close monitoring of the account since then and nobody has
come forward to claim the money as next of kin to the late Mr.
Frederick M. Wong meaning that no one is aware of the account. I cannot
directly take out this money without the help of a foreigner and that is why I
am contacting you for an assistance to claim the funds and share it with
me.As the head accountant bank branch, I have the power to influence the release
of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the next of kin to the
account,with the correct information concerning the account, which I shall give
you.
I am seeking your co-operation to present you as the next of kin to the
account. There is practically no risk involved, the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of law.
If you accept to work with me, I want you to state how you wish us to
share the funds in percentage, so that both parties will be satisfied.
Contact me as soon as you receive this message with this informations.
1,YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS
2,YOUR PERSONL PHONE NUMBER,
so we can go over the details.Thanking you in advance and may God bless
you.Please, treat with utmost confidentiality. I wait your urgent
response.
Best Regards,
