BONJOUR,
I am Mr. Jean Paul,the director in charge of Auditing and Accounting Section of DIAMOND BANK, and also a special account officer to late Mr. Gunter David Reid, a Seasoned Contractor with Benin Cement Company here in Benin Republic, who Unfortunately died in the plane crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou,Benin Republic on the December 25, 2003.
You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this
website:www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/ Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr.Gunter David Reid has a fixed deposit account with DIAMOND BANK and no other person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me that his supposed next of kin died along with him in the crash. Since then
I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you.I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank.Consequently, Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 5 weeks now. I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$65 Million can be paid to your account and then you
and I can share the money 60% to Me and 35% to you. While 5% will be set aside to cover al expenses incurred on the process.
I am fully ready to feed you with all necessary information’s relating to the decease account that you may need as the legal next of kin to the decease person
in the process of documentations. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. If this proposal is acceptable to you, kindly email your following information to me: Your full names and address, Your Private telephone number and Private fax number, and Your Private email.
Until you write, have a nice day and God bless you.
