LEGAL ATTORNEY & SOLICITOR .
Dear VICTIMNAME,
I am Barr. Joseph Ikpeama , a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr. P.B Carter, who used to work as a contractor and importer in Cotonou Benin. [West Africa] here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 26th December 2003, my client, his wife and their only daugther were involved in a plane crash in a village called Adjarra near Porto Novou after take off from Cotonou in Benin Republic where they went for a Concert .
It was unfortunate my client and his family all lost their lives in that crash. For more on the plane crash log on to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm
I have made several enquiries here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts,I was motivated to contact you assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my late client before they get confiscated, frozen or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly where the deceased had an account valued at about $12.5M . The Management has issued me a notice to provide the next Of kin or have the account frozen within the next twenty Two Official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over years now i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$12.5M can be paid to you and then you and myself can share the money. I have all the necessary legal informations / Documents that can be used to back you up for the claim . And this I must do to make sure that this fund is not Wasted or end up in the wrong hands. All I require is your honesty , co-operation to enable us see this transaction through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I am waiting your urgent reply. Please you can also reach me through my private email address as indicated.
Thanks for understanding , waiting to hear from you urgently for more updates.
Yours truly,
Barr. Joseph Ikpeama Esq;
