My Dear,
This letter may be a big surprise to you, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. My name is Mr.Justin Benjamin,the present branch Manager of 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'm 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 was the former head of the Accounts department in my bank's head office, but by August 2004 I was asked to take the position of the Manager in our branch office in Cotonou who passed on, so that was how I became the present Manager and discovered a fortune. As I resumed duty, I discovered an account with total sum of US$24.1 million that has not been operated on for sometime. From my investigation, I found out that this account belongs to one Late Mr.Alan Williams from Britian, a big time Oil dealer and also a owner of candle manifacturing companies, who unfortunately lost his life on October 20, 2005 in Tanzania safari plane crash close to the western Mahale National Park, while travelling with his entire family, his wife and other companions on a festive visit to Katavi National Park, a largely inaccessible reserve. 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.Alan Williams 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 Manager of my branch where the account is operated, I have the power to influence the release of the funds to any foreigner that comes up as the nextof 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 and i from any breach of law. If you accept to work with me, I wish to let you know that we can go into this transaction on the percentage ratio of 40/60% for your assistance, so that both parties will be satisfied. Please Contact me as soon as you receive this message if you feel we can work together, so as to give you more details. Thanking you in advance and may the Almighty God bless you. Please treat this transaction with utmost confidentiality.
For easy communications i will like you to send me your private telephone numbers or you can aswell reach me at my own private number at +229 9758 8438. Expecting your urgent response.
Best Regards,
Mr.Justin Benjamin.Tel: + 229 9758 8438.
