URGENT ATTENTITION MR Amarjit Singh,
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through the business directory at chamber of commerce and Industry here in COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC, where i was searching for a good and relaible person which i will entrust this business opportunity into his control, I was elated when i saw your address,and i picked a keen interest with confidence to solicit for your help in executing this opportunity. However,i was moved to contact you based on the present situation of this opportunity which i may say that it is a God given offer, there was a foreigner who lived here in Cotonou-Benin some time ago called Arthur Rick by name,and it happened that the man registered with me as his personal attorney,unfortunately the man died with his wife and their two kids in a plane crash which happened on december 25,2003.Owing to the death of this man called Arthur Rick by name, please vew the web site for more details of the crash
www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
And his bank called on me for his balance with the bank as his attorney since January 2004,to invite his relatives to come and claim the money,i tried all i could to trace his family,but all my efforts proved arbortive,then from January last year 2004,till now,the bank has been presurising me to look for his family because they realise that a lot of swindlers have been forwarding application to claim the money as his next of kin,but it happened that after much verification,they will find out that those people were crooks,because they cannot provide a legal evidence to prove that they were his relative.
Moreover,i have decided to use you as his next of kin to claim the money for our own use as it happen that his relatives were not available up till now,and i have all his documented memo in my file which will back you up before the bank as his next of kin,i will still obtain a genuine legal evidence which i will make out in your name to satisfy that you are the rightful next of kin to the deceased. Furthermore,the amount involved is $12.750,000.00)Twelve Million,Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars,therefore i will like you to furnish me with your full name and address which i will use to secure the legal documents,as soon as i receive your address,i will forward an application to you which you will submit to the concerned bank as his next of kin.Be rest assured that their is no risk involved as i have perfected and made the neccessary arrangements to back you up in claiming the fund.
Finally,you have to maintain the high secret this business demands as the bank does not know that i am using you to claim the money on our own,besides,i will compernsate you with 30% of the total money for your help and assistance,and i will like to invest my own part of the money in your country based on your advice. Therefore I look forward hearing from you soonest through this my emaiL.( barristerlawsonben1990@yahoo.com ) so that I can give you more information about this business.
Thanks as i await your urgent reply
Best Regards,
BARR:LAWSON BEN
