*Dear Friend,*
*I am Dr. Mark Soglo, the director in charge of auditing and accounting
section of Credit Bank Benin,Cotonou,Republic of Benin,West Africa, and also
a special account officer of Mr. Peter Lund,a European who died on 25th
December 2003 with Union des Transports Africains (UTA) chartered Boeing 727
in Cotonou Republic of Benin. You can as well confirm more by yourself
through under stated Website of the incident. *

*With due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a Business
Transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us. *
*Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr.Lund has a fixed deposit
account with the bank.This fund has been dormant in his account with our
bank without any claim and the account has no beneficiary nor next of kin
other than him and my investigation reveal that his supposed next of kin
died along with him in the crash.This deposite is valued at twenty two
million,one hundred united states dollars(US$22.1M). *
*Since then, I have made several enquiries to locate any of his extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful
attempts, I decided to contact you.I'm contacting you to assist in
remittance of the dormant fund as the next of kin left behind by Mr. Lund so
as not to allow the bank confisticate or declare the funds unserviceable
according to Benin Republic financial law on unclaimed bills.Hence you are a
foreigner, you stand a better position to be presented through documentation
as the next of kin since the deceased is also a foreigner.*
*Consequently, I'm seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased so that the outstanding fixed deposit (US$22.1M) will be
remitted into any designated account of yours and will be shared according
to percentages.I have all necessary information to back up this claim.*
*Be rest assured that this transaction will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect both parties from breach of the law and it is
100% risk free and attracts no authorities and every information you will
require as the next of kin will be forwarded to you after your final
acceptance to help me champion this deal.Please, you have been advised to
keep this "Top Secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from
service after I conclude this deal with you.*
*If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email your following
information to me: *
*a. Full Name(s)
b. Direct phone & fax number(s)
c. Your direct email & any other information you may deem helpful.*
*You can call me on my direct mobile phone +229 93 413 726 for more
discussion if you need me to clarify you on any more issue regarding this .
Thank you for your cooperation until I read from you or recieve your call.*
*Yours Truly,
Dr. Mark Soglo. *
