Dear Good Friend,

I apologize if the contents in this mail are contrary to your moral
ethics, which I feel may be of great disturbance to your personal
life, but please bear with me and treat with absolute secrecy and
confidentiality. I pray that this email reaches you in the best of
health.

I am Dr. Jim Edward the Director of Foreign Operation Department in
Bank of Africa. I have a very interesting deal to discuss with you,
the deal under discussion has to do with One of our customers Engr.
Stefan Philipp, who and his entire family were among the victims of
Boe 727-type airplane belonging to the African Transport Union (UTA).
A Beirut-bound flight killing at least 135 on board, you can click on
the website and confirm the event of the air crash through

Before the unfortunate incident Engr. Stefan Philipp had an account
with us valued at Nine Million, Six hundred Thousand US Dollars
($USD9.6M) According to the Benin Law at the expiration of fifteen
years the money will revert to the ownership of the Benin Government
if nobody applies to claim the funds.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to
stand in as the next of kin for us to claim this fund so that the
fruits of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some
corrupt government officials who will later use the money to sponsor
war in Africa and kill innocent citizens in the search for political
power.

Please note that this is 100% risk-free and my position as the
Director of Operation in this bank guarantees the successful execution
of this transaction. If you are interested and in agreement with me,
please write back immediately. This money will be shared 50% to me
45% to you and 5% for incurred expenses, each once the fund is
transferred to your account.

Thanks and God Bless You

Best Regards,
Dr.Jim Edward
