Dear.
I am Barrister George Mbala a barrister at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr.David Helle a national of your country, who is an Engr, a sole owner of PALEK Construction Company, CARRE 110-118, PK15 RUE DE PORTO NOVO, COTONOU BENIN REPUBLIC, Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife And their three children were involved in a car accident along QUIDAH-PARAKOU express way . 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 security company where this consignment are deposits or lodged.
Particularly, the security company where the deceased had a consignment valued at about 18.4 million U.S Dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the consignment confisicated within the next 21 official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over two years plus 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 claim of the consignment valued at 18.4 million U.S Dollars can be lease to you and then you and me can share the money. 75% to me and 25% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be use to back up any claim we may make.
All I required is your honest co-operation 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 through my email address to enable us discuss further and to advise my full contact address. NOTE; NO RISK IS INVOLVE. reply to dom_mark_p@yahoo.com
