Before his death on the 25th December 2003, Mr.Marcus Brenner has a fixed
deposit account with the bank and no other person know about this account or
have any information relating to this account.
The account has no beneficiary nor did next-of-kin other than him and my
investigation reveal that his supposed next-of-kin died along with him in
the crash.Since then, I have made several enquiries to locate any of his
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact you.
I'm contacting you to assist in remittance of a dormant fund as the next of
kin left behind by Mr.Marcus Brenner so as not to allow the bank confiscate
or declare the funds unserviceable according to Benin Republic financial law
on unclaimed bills which the government usually map out for the purchase of
ammunitions which are the major course of connflicts in the west of
Africa.Consequently, I'm seeking your consent to present you as the
next-of-kin of the deceased so that the outstanding fixed deposit (US$19.3M)
will be remitted into any designated accounbt of yours to be shared by both
of us in the ratio of 60% to me and 40% for you.I have all necessary legal
documents to back up this claim.
All that is required of you is absolute honesty, total commitment,
co-operation & absolute confidentiality.Be rest-assured that this
transaction will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect
both parties from breach of the law and it is 100% risk free and
attracts no authorities and every information you will require as the next
of kin will be forwarded to you after your final acceptance to help me
champion this deal.

information to me:
a. Full Name(s)
b. Direct phone & fax number(s)
c. Your direct email & any other information you may deem helpful.
