You guys are going to love this!!

FROM DR PAUL UZO,
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
CONTINENTAL BANK COTONOU,
REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
WEST AFRICA.
TEL:+229 98 60 75.

ATTN:Royal Dragon

I am DR PAUL UZO, the director in charge of
auditing and accounting section of continental bank
cotonou republic of benin in west Africa
with due respect and regard.

I have decided to contact you on a business
transaction that will be very beneficial to both of
us at the end of the transaction .

During our investigation and auditing in this bank,my
department came across a very huge sum of money
belonging to a deceased person who died on 1 February
1997 in a plane crash on air Senegal on aircraft
Name Hawker Siddeley HS-748.This crash happened in
Tambacoumba, Senegal, Africa and the registration
number of the aircraft is 6AV-AEO, and since his
untimely death the funds has been dormant in his
account with this Bank without any claim of the fund
in our custody either from his family or relation
before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I keep this information secret
within myself and partners to enable the whole plans
and idea be Profitable and successful during the time
of execution. The said amount was usd$17.2M(Seventeen
million Two Hundred Thousand united states dollars).

As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive
information through my good friends who works with
chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here
in Cotonou-Benin. It is him who recommended your
person to me to be viable and capable to champion a
business of such magnitude without any problem
Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over
this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased,
get the required approval and transfer this money to a
foreign account has been put in place and directives
and needed information will be relayed to you as soon
as you indicate your interest and willingness to
assist us and also benefit yourself to this great
business opportunity.

In fact I could have done this deal alone but because
of my position in this country as a civil servant,we
are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would
eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the
time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is
the actual reason why it will require a second party
or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin
to the Bank and also present a foreign account where
he will need the money to be re-transferred into on
his request as it may be after due verification and
clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank
where the whole money will be remitted from to your
own designated bank account.

May I at this point emphasize that this transaction
is 100% risk free as I have made arrangements for a
successful arrangement as an insider of the bank
before contacting you.
On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be
entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification,
while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses
that may arise during the time of transfer and also
telephone bills, while 60% will be for me and my
partners.

Please, you have been adviced to keep this a top
secret as we are still in service and intend to retire
from service after we conclude this deal with you.

I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this
bank until you confirm the money in your account and
ask us to come down to your country for subsequent
sharing of the fund according to percentages
previously indicated and further investment, either in
your country or any country you advice us to invest
in.

All other necessary information will be sent to you
on your acceptance to champion this transaction with
me.

I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible on my
personal mobile phone +229 98 60 75 stating your
wish
in this deal.

Yours faithfully,
DR PAUL UZO,

FIVE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS(US$20,500,000)ONLY
BELONGING TO OUR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MAN WHO DIED
ALONG WITH HIS
FAMILY(NEXT OF KIN)IN THE 5TH NOVEMBER,1997 AEROPLANE
CRASH IN ABIDJAN.

BEFORE OUR DISCOVERY OF THIS DEVELOPMENT,THERE WAS NO
TRACE OF CLAIM FROM ANY PERSON AS THE FUND REMAINS
DORMANT IN HIS ACCOUNT WITH THIS BANK. ALTHOUGH,I KEEP
THIS INFORMATION SECRET WITHIN MY JURISDICTION TO
ENABLE US PUT CLAIMS AND TRANSFER THE SAID AMOUNT
THROUGH A TRUSTWORTHY FRIEND OVERSEAS WHOM WE SHALL

INTEREST AND WILLINGNESS TO BENEFIT YOURSELF FROM THIS

Nothing new under the sun.

This scam is as old as I have been online. It's always Nigeria, the Congo, etc., and I'm pretty sure you will find this one on Urbanlegends.com. My friend who has a two way pager with email has been getting the same email for a week, and I just started getting them as well.
