Dear
 
I am Patrick Morgan, Currently Head of Corporate Affairs Department
with our bank here in Benin Republic. I was the account Officer to
Philip, a national of your country, who was an Engineer, a sole owner
of Phil Construction Company, Carre 13, Rue de Porto Novo.
I write you this proposal in good faith, with strong belief that I
can trust you with the information I am about to reveal to you because
I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you.
On the 1st of August 2014 being our Independence day, our customer,
his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Quidah-Parakou expressway and all
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
 
For over 5 years I have made several inquiries to locate any of our
customer’s extended relatives without success. I have contacted you to
assist in recovering the money left behind by our deceased customer
before they get confiscated by our bank where the deceased had an
account valued at 7.8 million U.S Dollars, and I happened to be his
account officer before I was moved to my present position recently. I
now seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin since you have
the same last name so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to
you and then you and I can share the money in the ratio, 50 Percent to
you and 50 Percent to me.
 
 As the Account Officer to the deceased, coupled with my present
position and status in the bank, I have some vital information that
can help for the release of the funds to you with the correct
information concerning his account which I will provide. I have the
secret Code for the account, which only the account owner can know.
 
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. I will need the
following information from you, Your Full Name and Address,Your Age,
Occupation and Your private Telephone-Mobile for easy Communication
Purpose.
 
Yours sincerely,
Patrick Morgan
