ATTN: Sir/Madam 

Sir, 

With due respect and regard, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction. 

During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to one MR. MUSTAPHA MOHAMMED of Morocco, who died (with his entire family) in the ill-fated Kenya airways (AIRBUS A310-304 5Y-BEN) of January 30th, 2000; off the coast of Abdijan - Cote D' Ivoire. The fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development. 

Although personally, I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was US$35M (Thirty-Five Million United States Dollars). 

As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good friends who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Cotonou -Benin. He recommended you to be viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any problem. Though I did not mention to him the source of the fund I intend to invest, because of the need to keep everything confidential until the fund enters your designated account. 

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as the bona fide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place. The directives and all needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit your self to this great business opportunity. 

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and it would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party who will forward claims (as the next of kin) to the Bank and also present a foreign account where the money will be transferred into, after due verification and clarification. 

Note, the verification and approval will be a mere formality as we (my colleagues and I) have perfected all underground work for a smooth and speedy conclusion of this transaction. 

I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% of the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the time of transfer and also telephone bills, 70% will be for me and my collegues. 

As I indicated earlier, you are advised to keep this transaction as top secret. We are still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and you ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund (according to percentages previously indicated) and further investment, either in your country or any country you may advice us to invest in. 

All other necessary information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish in this deal. The account owner entered the name of only one next of kin, leaving the space for the 'alternative next of kin' blank so immediately you confirm your willingness to be part of this transaction we will submit your name as the alternative Next of Kin, and the bona fide beneficiary to the account; as the primary next of kin died in the plane crash. 

Yours faithfully, 
Dr. MITCHELL AMMOSSOU
