FROM MR.Joseph Daniel.
DIRECTOR INCHARGE OF
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT,
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIc
The President/CEO
Dear Sir,
Please, I want to introduce myself and this business opportunity to you. My name is Mr.Joseph Daniel, a banker in the capacity of Director of Audit and Accounts Department of a bank here in Cotonou Benin Republic.
I wish to know if we can work together, I would like you to stand as the next of kin to a deceased customer of our bank who made some deposits to the tune of US$7.25M. He died in the December 25th Benin plane crash alongside his family (including his Next of Kin) all enquiries made through his embassy to locate his extended family relations prove abortive, hence there is no one to show up as his next of kin, and as such the fund now have an open
beneficiary mandate. (Here is the aircrash website
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html)
Now I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased
since you have the same last name with him so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $7.25 Million Dollars would transfered into your account without implications.
If you accept to carry out this project with us, you are entitled to 30% of
the total sum, while I and my colleagues involved will take 70% of the total sum. Upon your acceptance to do this deal with us, we will jointly effect the transfer within eight working days, as we have perfected all arrangements for the smooth transfer of the fund to your norminated bank account.
We took this step because if the fund remains unclaim untill the next quarter, it will be returned to the government treasury in accordance with the law and we are of no benefit if this happens, hence we decided to contact you to do this together.
If you are interested, do let me know through my alternative email at:-josephdaniel@myway.com so that I can give you comprehensive details on
what we are to do.
I urgently hope to get your favourable response as soon as possible. Plz reply me with my private email:-josephdaniel@myway.com
Best regards,
Mr. Joseph Daniel
