Dear friend,

I propose to you based on the facts that I believe that it is one day one gets to know each other either by correspondence or by person although we have not met before.

To be precise, I am MR Francois Chumillas, a manager of bills/exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department of BANQUE INTERNATIONALE DU BENIN,FEDREAL REPUBLIC OF BENIN. In my department, we discovered an abandoned sum of US$ 21.5 m (Twenty one Million five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) in an account that belonged to one of our foreign customers who died along with his entire family on June 6th, 1994 in a ghastly plane crash involving China airline. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applied for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines. Unfortunately, to no avail, nobody has come forward to claim the sum.

Therefore upon this discovery I and other officials in the department decided to establish a cordial business relationship with you, hence my contacting you. We want to purportedly present your good self as the next of kin or relation of the deceased, so that we can release the fund into your account for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and again we do not want this money to go into the Government Account as unclaimed bill. The Banking Law and Guidelines here stipulates that any account abandoned or dormant for a period of some years is subject to closure and all money contained therein will be forfeited to the Government Treasury Account. Now it is being stipulated that the above sum will be transferred into Government Account as unclaimed Fund on or before June 2002.The reason behind our requesting you to purportedly your good self as next of kin is occasioned by the fact that the deceased was a foreigner.

Mode of sharing after the successful completion of the transfer,will be agreed by both parties and will be done when I visit your country. In support of the aforementioned therefore you are urged to reply this letter indicating your readiness and interest to participate in the business. After receiving your reply, you will be communicated to with the exact steps to take. I quite believe that you will protect our interest by keeping this business top secret and confidential. Your interest will be equally protected as we must maintain maximum confidentiality.

I count on your earliest response. Thanks indeed for your anticipated co-operation and best regards to you and your family.

MR FRANCOIS CHUMILLAS

Please by sure, that the message in this letter is not real. It was written to find peoples who are stupid enough to loss money finally at the end of transaction. But they will never see "THE BIG MONEY!"
