Dearest Friend,

My Name is Mr.Serge Kargbo a credit officer with the one of the leading
(Finance Trust House) here in Cotonou Republic Du Benin. In my epartment i discovered an abandoned funds (USD 12 M) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. David Clemetson from Seattle, United state of America) who died along with his entire family in February 4, 2000 in a plane crash.

Since i got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained
unclaimed after Six years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Indigene cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

Meanwhile,10% will be set aside for eimbursement of any expenses made by you and me during the curse of the transaction.

Your percentage will be declare to you as soon as you indicate your interest.I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you,you must apply first to the bank as relation or next of kin of the deceased indicating.

1.Your full name and address
2.Your telephone and fax number for easy communication.
3.Your company's name and address.

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application .I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the movement of the money.

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.Trusting to hear from you
immediately.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Serge Kargbo
Credit officer.
