Dear Freind,
I am a staff of Financial Bank Benin . I am writing following an opportunity
in my office that will be of benefit to both of us. In my department i
discovered an abandoned sum of $10.5 million,(Ten Million five hundred
thousand Us Dollars)in an account that belongs to one of our foreign
customers Late Mr.Hall Harris
An American who unfortunately lost his life in the Tsunami disaster in
Thailand 2004. **http://www.tsunamis.com* <http://www.tsunamis.com/>*.
including his wife and Two of his daughters. Since we got information about
his death, we have been expecting his next of kin or relatives to come over
and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for
it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
laws and guild lines.
Unfortunately I learned that his supposed next of kin being his two
daughters died along with him in the Tsunami disaster leaving nobody with
the knowledge of this fund behind for the claim.It is therefore upon this
discovery that I now decided to make the deal with you and transfer this
money to you as the next of kin or beneficiary of the funds for safety
keeping and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we
don't want this money to go back into Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guidelines here stipulates that such money remained
after five years the money will be transferred into banking treasury as
unclaimed funds.We agreed that 47.5% of this money will be for you as
foreign partner,5% will be use to upset expenses that might in cure on the
course of making this transaction a successful one, while 47.5% will be for
me.
Please note that all necessary arrangement for the smooth release of these
funds to you has been finalized.I will discuss more in details when I do
receive your response.You can reach me in my private email:

Best regards,
Charles Desmond
