My Dear,
I am Dr. Kenneth Ekeh Country office Manager
INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA, BENIN REPUBLIC.I have an
urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On May 14th, 2003, Jerome Patulot, made a numbered time
(Fixed) Deposit for Twenty Four calendar months, valued at
US$3,700,000.00 (Three Million, Seven Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) in my branch.
Upon maturity which was suppose to be 14th May 2005, I
sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got reply from The ABB Construction Corporation that Mr.
Jerome Patulot died from Heart Failure. On further
investigation, I found out that he died without making a
"WILL” and all attempts to trace his next of kin was
fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered
that Mr. Jerome Patulot did not declare any kin or Relations
in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit
paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$3,700,000.00 is still
lying in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with
the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever
come forward to claim it.
According to Benin Republic laws, at the expiration of 5
(five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the
Benin Republic Government if nobody applies to claim the
fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a
foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Joerome
Patulot so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not
get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.
This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your
full names and address so that i will forward to you the
text of application which you will fill and send to the bank
for approval which will put you in place as the next-of-kin.
We shall employ the service of an Attorney for drafting
and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary
documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor
for the transfer. The money will be paid into your account
for us to share in the ratio of 50% for me and 40% for you.
While we map out 10% for every expenses that might rise up
during the transaction,Once More, there is no risk at all as
all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the
Attorney and my position as Director guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are
interested, please reply immediately via a return email.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you understand
the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable for
both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest
my share in your country.
Awaiting your urgent reply
Thanks and regards.
