Dear Sir,
With due respect,I am Barrister SMITH OJI,a citizen of Benin Republic in West Africa.
before introducing my proposal,As it may interest you to know how i got your contact,I got your e-mail contact address through world business directory guest book in Computer website,I decided to have a contact through the internet website based on the confidentiality in this transaction.
Introduction of the proposal,I have a client who her name is Mrs. Akunvi Koffi a wife to General Gambo Koffi.a ministry of finance controller in Benin Republic, but the man was having a big problem with the wife which led to the divorce of the marriage.
During the process of the problem by last year,my client Mrs. Akunvi Koffi moved some money out from her account and put it in a trunck box,by my assistance we moved it to Europe and deposit it in a security company for safe keeping because the husband was treatning her to collect all the money she has in her hand then.
The total money moved was $3,300,000,00(Three million three hundred thousand dollars).for your information the security company does not know the content of the box on the day of deposit,I declared it to them as a court case file,it is only me and the woman tht knows
that it was money and the box was deposited on the 13th of November 2002.
Then the woman was in a court case with the husband not until she died in a car accident by April 19th 2003,since then,I have not disclosed to any person about this,I keep it to myself and I have all the deposit documents from the company with me.
So what I want you to do now,is to contact the security company in Europe and put claim to the box as the next of kin to the late woman and I will back you up with all the documents to claim the box. and the security company must contact me for confirmation,as
soon as they do so,I will immediately confirm you to them that you are the bonafied next of kin to my client and the box will be released to you without any delays.
Therefore,all I need from you now is your willingness to work with me before I can disclose to you the country and the contact informations to the security company in Europe where the box was deposited.This is for security reasons.
Also,I shall furnish you with my contact information as soon as you indicate your interest in working with me.
Looking forward to be hearing from you.
Regards.
Barrister SMITH ORJI
