Dear My friend,
I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail,if the contents
does not meet with your personal and business ethics,I appologise in advance.
I am Mr. barrister HAKIM USMAN ,I am an advocate and solicitor at law. However,
I was moved to contact you base on the present situation of this oppurtunity
which i may say that it is god given timeoffer.there is a foreigner who
lived here in cotonou Benin long ago , and it happen that the man registered
to me as his private/personalattorney. HE WAS A FISHERMAN AS WELL AS A ONE
TIME SECRET AGENT IN LIFTING OIL TO OVERSEAS FOR OUR FORMER MINISTERS. IN
THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, 2000. MY CLIENT DIED WITH HIS WIFE AND THEIR ONLY
DAUGHTER WHEN THEIR SHIP CAPSIZED IN HIGH SEA.But my client made afixed
dopsit valued at (USD$5.9M) and upon the maturity this bank started contacting
him but no response. Conseqently, the bank issued me a notice to provide
the next of kin or have the account confiscated after four years, as the
law of this land says.Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy
to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved 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 you are from the same country and also bears the same surname, so
that the proceeds of this account valued at $5.9m can be paid to you and
then you and me can share the money.I have arranged all necessary legal
documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make waiting for
your permission to submit them to the bank on your behalf for the approval
of the payment.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see
this deal through.I guarantee 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 both through email (emailaddress) and phone:(+ 229 28 99
89)to enable us discuss further.
FINALLY,YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH SECRECY THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS AS THE
BANK DOES NOT KNOW THAT I AM USING YOU TO CLAIM THE MONEY ON MY OWN, BESIDES,
I WILL COMPENSATE YOU WITH 30% OF THE TOTALMONEY FOR YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE.AND
YOU WILL STILL HELP ME AGAIN, BECAUSE I WANT TO INVEST MY OWN PART OF THE
MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY BASE ON YOUR ADVICE.
THANKS AS I AWAIT FOR YOUR REPLY.
BEST REGARDS,
BARRISTER HAKIM USMAN.
