I love it when these idiots claim to have recieved some mysterious information about me, when it is obvious they have no clue as to who I am.
Then they go on to tell some fantastic tale of unclaimed wealth, and to represent some important agency, while using a free email account. It would really be quite funny if not for the fact that they are successfully duping people.

Bill And Exchange Manager,(S.T.B)

Republic of Benin.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVATE PLEASE.
Dear Friend,
Compliments of the day. I deceided to contact you after I received a
worthy information about your reliability and honesty. Hence I confide
in you.
I am Ignatius Onwa,from (Standard Trust Bank Du Benin),Republic of
Benin.During the course of our auditing we discovered the sum of Eleven
million five hundred thousand united states dollars (USD$11.500.000.00)
floating in an account opened in this Bank since 1997 and as from 2001
nobody has operated on this account again, and after going through some
old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died
without a [HEIROctomber 10th 2004 by plane crash, hence the money is
floating.
After due verification I noticed that no other person knows about this
account except his wife who was also invovled in the crash, and the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as
well that until his death he was the Director GOLD ARK [SARL]Since our
bank,(Standard Trust Bank Du Benin)Benin Rep. got information about his
death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come forward and claim
his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as
next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking
guidelines and policies but up to date nobody came up to this bank as
his next of kin or relative.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my
department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and
release the money to you as the next of kin or elation to the deceased
for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming forth and
we don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.
On this note, I decided to seek for whom his name shall be used as the
next of kin as no one has come up as his relation. And the country law
here does not allow such money to stay more than Five years, for the
money will be recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after
this period.
Upon the receipt of your response, I will send to you the application
form,bank'scontact and the next step to take. I will not fail to bring
to your notice that this business is hitch free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized
within fourteen banking days, after you apply to the bank as a relation
to the deceased. It has been resolved that 30% will be for you while 10%
has been maped out to defray any expences that might be incured during
the process of the ransaction.
Then 60% will be for me which shall be release after the funds must have
been remitted into your bank account.
When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your
decision.Including your private Tel/Fax numbers for quick communication.
I will be very happy if you can treat this business with the utmost
secrecy it demands because of my position in this bank. For
confidentiality reasons,kindly reply to my private Email:
digonwa1@mail.ru
Hoping for a very successful business relationship with you.
Best Regards,
ALHAJI Ignatius Onwa.

somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased an
indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately I learnt that all his

money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill The Banking law and
guideline here
stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the money
will
be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned
bythe fact that the customer was aforeigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as
next of kin to a foreigner.I agree that 30 % of this money will be for you
as foreign partner, inrespect to the provision of a foreign account, 10
%will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would

international responsibilities as I am assuring you of a risk free
transaction provided you display maturity.
