personal attorney to Mr. Mark Elzinga,a national of
your country, who used to work with shell development
company in Republic of Benin. Here in after shall be referred to
as my client. On the 21st of April 1999, my client,
his wife And their three children were involved in a
car accident along seme express road. All occupants
of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since
then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to
locate any of my clients extended relatives this has
also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to track his last name over the Internet, to locate
any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have
contacted you to assist in repartrating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get
confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the CONTINENTAL TRUST BANK where the deceased
had an account valued at about 15million dollars has
issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confisicated within the next twenty
official working days. since I have been unsuccesfull
in locating the relatives for over 2 years now I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the
proceeds of this account valued at15 million dollars
can be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money. 70% to me and 30% to you I have all necessary
legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make.
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 by my email to enable us discuss
