WARNING: this is a SCAM.
Good Day My Dear,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your expectation. I am the Director Foreign Operations, Payment/Remittance Department of a well known bank here in the Cotonou Benin Rep. In one of our periodic auditing I discovered a dormant account having a balance of (US$ 10.5 million dollars) which has not been operated for the past three years. From my investigations and confirmations, the owner of this account, a foreigner by name late Mr. Mark, died in a car accident Along Gbossime express-road with His wife and their three Children since then nobody has done anything as regards to the claiming of this money because none of his family members are aware of the existence of the funds.
I have secretly discussed this matter with a Top senior minister official of the Federal ministry of finance here and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to transfer the fund into his account which he will provide since the decessed is a foriegner and A Beniniose can not stand as the next of Kin to claim the said fund.
Although due to his position(Top senior minister)he did not want to take active part but as soon as you follow the instructions I will be getting from him, everything will be successful because we will be working hand in hand with him. We thus propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin to the deceased and after due legal processes have been followed,the fund will be released to your account without delay and we will use it for investment and to assist the less privileged in the society because if we leave the fund with the government it will be forfeited for nothing and will be used to suppress the poor masses in the society.
This transaction is legitimate and does not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act. Finally, I will give you 60% for your co-operation, 10% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during this process. You should send me any of your valid international passports. On receipt of your response I will furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates to this mutual benefit. Do you have any investment idea?
You should send me your information as states below.
1) YOUR FULL NAME:
2) ADDRESS,CITY,STATE AND COUNTRY.
3) PHONE,FAX AND MOBILE
4) COMPANY NAME(IF ANY) POSITION AND ADDRESS
5) PROFESSION,AGE AND MARITAL STATUS
6) COPY OF YOUR INT'L PASSPORT/DRIVERS LICENSE
I look forward to hearing from you If you are interested to know much about this.
