Mr.Jerry Serge
Foreign Remittance Department Manager
Banque Atlantique
Abidjan Cote D Ivoire.
West Africa.

Dear Friend,

I am the Manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department
of Banque Atlantique here in Abidjan Cote D Ivoire. In my department I
discovered an abandoned sum of US$14 Million dollars (Fourteen Million
Dollars) in an account that belongs to one Of our foreign Customer, Mr.
Bature Ddaine, a Lebanese investor in Abidjan, Republic of Cote D Ivoire
who died along with his family were among the plane crash victims of
Boeing727-type, Air plane of African Transport Union (UTA) crashed on 25th
December 2003 at the Fidjrosse beach Cotonou Republic of Benin. 110
persons died, the Beirut-bound flight victims are mostly Lebanese
nationals and few westerners. Over 40 others still reported missing as at
then, while 22 passengers survived.
Here is the air crash website=
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/index.html

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 some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the Deceased
as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws but unfortunately we
learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with
him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim

The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money Remained
Unclaimed after six years, the money will be transferred into the bank
treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in
this transfer is unquestionable by the fact that the customer was a
Foreigner and an Ivorian cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

I seek your consent to present you as Next of kin to the deceased so that
the left over fund could be remitted to your account as his Next of Kin, I
will move to your country and then we can share the amount on a mutually
agreed percentage

I will not fail to bring to your notice this transaction is hitch-free and
that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
Arrangements have been made for the transfer. You should contact me
immediately as soon as you receive this letter.

With best regards,

Mr.Jerry Serge
