Dear Friend,
Greatings to you and your family and hope this mail finds you in a good condition.I am contacting you anticipating that you are a person of great dignity and integrity so based on this ,i divulge to you my identity with trust and sincerity.
I am Mr. Chrismos Meshack, Manager Auditting and Accounting Department in the Bank Of Africa, Cotonou, Benin Republic in West Africa.(Twenty Two Million United States Dollars)USD$22M belonging to an engineer who ran carmaker BMW's museum , Late Mr Hamilton Creek. The late Mr Hamilton Creek died in a Ghastly car accident alongside his family members and his wife's parents .
I also observed that since his sudden death the bank has made frantic efforts to locate his relations, but all attempts failed.and To avoid the board of directors taking advantage of the funds,I conceived the idea of contacting you so that you will stand as the next of kin,i need your unflinching support and cooperation to have the funds transferred to your nominated bank account,everything have being put to place for a smooth operation as a staff in this bank, i have all the information you will need to cliam this fund.
As a civil servant still in an active service we are prohibited to operate a foreign account, therefore this is why i seek for a foreign partner who can assist in receiving this fund and at the same time advice me for a lucrative business investment which he will be managing or on the other hand,help me to oversee on my behalf pending when i will retire and possible come over for our investment.For this reason i am contacting you for such undertaken and if eventually you are willing and ready for such business,i have agreed to give you 30% of the total sum while i shall have 60% and the remaining 10% has been mapped out for any expenses we might encounter during the process of the transfer of the above fund.
Having done a thorough feasibility study on how to perfect the transfer of the funds to your bank account, your role shall be to send an application for claim of the funds to the bank as a next of kin or business partner to the Late Mr Hamilton Creek. I also would require your contact address, telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. Please,be rest assured that this business is 100% risk free and do not use the advantage to betray me once you recieve this fund into your account. Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves. I Expect your urgent response.
Respectfully yours,
Mr Chrismos Meshack
