Attn: My Dear,
Compliments, I barrister James have decided to bestow this trust on you,
which I pray you will not ignore or betray. I appologise in advance for
any inconviniences this may cause you.
I am Barrister James Udeh the Personal Attorney to late Mr. George M.
William, who was a contractor here in Benin Rep. And on the 3rd of Oct
2000, my client, and his family were perished in a ghostly car accident
along Midombo Togo express way. As a matter of fact, my client made a
fixed dopsit Amount, valued at (USD$10.7M) with Legend Trust Bank here
in Cotonou Benin Rep, and upon the maturity time of their agreement, his
bank started contacting him but no response. Conseqently, the bank
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased as his
personal attorney, or have his account confiscated after four years, as
it is in the law of this country.
Since then, I have made several contacts to His Countries Embassy in
order to locate any of my clients extended relatives, which had also
been unsuccessful. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the
relatives for over two years now, I seek your consent to present you as
the next of kin of the deceased since none of his relatives were no way
to be found so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10.7m could
be transffered into your account, thereafter, we will both share it in
percentage according to our contributions to boost the success of this
great transaction. I have all the necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up all the claims we will make.
I know that you might be wonder why I have decided to trust you with
this huge sum, but the truth is that I need you to get this money out
and considering the fact that you are a foreigner which makes it a lot
easier and straight forward.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us make this great
benefiting transaction successfully. I guarantee you that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any
breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me as fast as possible through my private :E-mail
address: barristerjamesudeh_2004@Z6.com
orthrough phone to enable us discuss further the progress of this
business.
With best regards,
Hon: James Udeh Esq,
Senior advocate of Benin(SAB).
