It looks as though this story is being pushed quite hard by the crooks at the moment. I think this must be the 4th or 5th shipment waiting for me at Fedex benin.

Dear Friend,Greetings

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft worth of (usd $1.650.000.00)ONE MILLION SIX  HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS which my boss left with me before he travelled out,but I did not hear from you since that time. Then with the help of a friend who is a Bank manager I cashed the money and deposited it as a BOX containing African clothes with FEDEX COURIER COMPANY LIMITED, Cotonou, Benin Republic.

What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you. For  your nformation, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the package.

The only money you will send to the Courier & Security Company to deliver your package direct to your postal Address in your country is ($105.00 US) HUNDRED AND  FIVE UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY,  being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, don’t be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $105.00 US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don’t know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.  You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY now for the delivery of your package with this information bellow;

Contact Person:Dr.Chidinma uche.
Telephone:+229 93 41 55 22

Here’s another abandoned, deceased or suspended account just waiting for you to claim it.

Reading the CNN report quoted in this message you will see that there are actually no names of people published in the account. That obviously does away with having to actually write the e-mail about a specific person. This makes it easier to spin his tale.

I was very fortunate to came across the deceased file when I was arranging the old and abandoned customers files of 2003-2004 in other to submit to the bank managements accordingly for documentation purposes.It is clearly stated in our BANKING FOREIGN POLICY and signed lawfully that if such fund remains unclaimed by the NEXT OF KIN till the period of EIGHT(8) years starting from the date when the beneficiary died, the money will be transferred into the BANK TREASURY as an unclaimed fund.Besides,it is not authorized by the law guiding our bank for a citizen of Benin to make the claim of the fund.

So the request of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the claim and transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliable bank account as the NEXT OF KIN to the deceased.When the fund is transferred into your account,Thirty five PERCENT(35%) will be for you in an assistance and in provision of the bank account,%15 Is set aside for incured expences incured,while Fifty PERCENT (50%) will be for me.and my colleague.
