Director Incharge of
Auditing and accounting unit.
Bank of Africa.
Cotonou-Benin Republic.
Dear Friend,
I am Dr. Fred Good, the manager of auditing and accounting unit at the BANK OF AFRICA (B.O.A) here in Cotonou Benin Republic. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of (US$8.1m dollars ) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash. for more information about the crash you can visit this site: ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm)Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body 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 or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you so that the bank can 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 we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed funds.The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after eight years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a citizen of benin cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foreign account , while70% will be for me and other officials involved .
Indicate your interest by a return e-mail with your full name and personal phone number for easy communication note also, this transaction is 100% risk free but must be kept stricity confidential because of its nature
I look forward to receiving your prompt respones.I wait for your respond.
Best regards.Dr. Fred Good.Manager auditing and accounting unit.Bank of Africa Benin.
