Dear Sir,
I am philipudo general manager of continental bank benin, in the file/computer deptment. I got your contact through an internet business proposal so i decide to contact you on this business opportunity.In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of (50.5,millon US dollars) (two Million five hundred thousand US dollars) . In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer Mr J. C BOB. from mississippi who died along with his entire family on 75th December 2003 in a plane crash.VIEW THIS WEB SITE
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html
Since we got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because the management cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately i learnt that all his family died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.
.It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I dont want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Beninois cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 40 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 20 % would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted .
Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.
I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer .
You can contact me on alternative email philipudo@yahoo.fr Ilook forward to hearing from you immediately.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr philipudo
