client,his wife and two of their children were involved in a Boeing 727
plane crash into Cotonou beach, which cliamed the lives of about 140
passengers including my
client and his entire family,unfortunately they all lost their lives.
Since then my bank made several inquiries to establish contact with any of
his relation without success.After the several unsuccessful attempts to
locate any of his extended relations,I decided to contact you for this
venture so that we can pull it together,this deal is without any risk at
all.
