I appoligize if the contents of this letter are contrary to your moral ethics,but please treat with absolute secrecy and personal.I am Oduwa Peters, a credit officer with a finance company here in Cotonou, Republic of Benin.
We lost a customer and his family in an auto crash here in Benin some years back and his account valued at US14,000,000,00 (Fourteen Million United State Dollars) with us has been dormant and unclaimed due to unavailability of next of kin/relatives to claim his fund,since his son whom he used as his next of kin died with him in the crash.
In accordance with the es-cheat laws of Benin Republic,the Board of directors of the finance company meet a forth-night ago and resolved to turn the fund of the deceased over to the Government having waited for too long without the deceased relatives /next of kin surfacing.If this is done,invariablly,the funds will end up becoming Government property.
It is against this backdrop that i am moved to contact you considering the fact that a known relative of him have not been located.
In view of this,I am seeking your co-operation and understanding to stand as the deceased next of kin to enable us claim this fund before the time period given by the finance company elapse.
If this proposal is ok by you and you do not wish to take undue advantage of the trust i hope to bestow on you,then kindly get back to me immediately to enable me enlighten you on how we are to proceed.
I will not contact any person or company untill i hear from you so as to enable me decides on what to do next.
Be rest assured that it is a riskfree project and the proceeding will be shared 50% each once the fund are claimed and transferred to your account.
I awaits your prompt response.
Regards,
Mr.Oduwa Peters.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
