Good day,
I am Mr. Joseph Gogo, newly promoted auditor general of Eco Bank Plc here
in Cotonou Rup Du Benin, I am writing following an Opportunity in my office
that will be of immense benefit to both of us. In my department I discovered
an abandoned sum of US$6.7 Million dollars in an account that was deposited
by one of our foreign customers Late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261
which crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter. You
shall read more about the crash on visiting this site.
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since we got information about his death, the bank 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 guidelines. Unfortunately I learnt that
his supposed next of kin being his only daughter died along with him in the
plane crash leaving nobody with the knowledge of this fund behind for the
claim.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this proposal
to you as his personal account manager who knows the whole information's
with regards to his account so that the bank can release the money to you as
the next of kin (I want to present you as his business associate) to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for
it and I don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed
money. Due to security reasons, I expect that you help in this regards as I
will make sure that everything is done under legal and protective means.
Do respond to me on my private email address as stated (
bajosephgogo00@live.com ) immediately you receive this letter or send me
your personal telephone numbers where I can reach you for further
discussions. I have all the necessary documents that will backup the claim.
Finally, bear in mind that it does not matter if you are related to late Mr.
Morris Thompson. or not as I am the one presenting you to the bank as his
business partner.
Awaiting your prompt response.
Best regards.
Mr. Joseph Gogo
