Good day to you,
I am Mr. Leonard Martins, head of Auditing, of a bank in Rep. of Benin. On Wednesday 19 April,2000 one Mr. Anders Rubenhag, German National, a property magnate, whom I was his accounting officer made a numbered time Fixed Deposit, valued at Nine Million, six Hundred Thousand United states dollars 9.6m US, for twelve calendar months in my Bank Branch.
Upon Maturity, we sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered that Mr. Anders Rubenhag, his wife and only daughter was aboard the AF4590 plane, which crashed Monday, 31 July, 2000 into the Hotelissimo.

My investigation proved that he died with his supposed next of kin in the crash. The total sum, 9.6m US is still in my bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it.I need your assistance to repatriate this money to a foreign account.
Upon acceptance of this proposal, I will give you detailed Information on how this deal would be carried out.
Eighty 80 percent of the money for me, twenty 20 percent for you.
I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law as I will use my position as the Bank's head of Auditors and his accounting officer to secure approvals and guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.
