Subject: ATTENTION BUSINESS SOLICITOR. FROM BARRISTER FAYOSE ALI.
Dear Sir,
I am Barrister Fayose Greg Ali, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Egnr Duncan Bennett, a national of your country, who is a Contractor and have spent most of her life in my country (Senegal) Herein, after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2000, my client, her husband and their only son were involved in a car accident along Saint Louise express road in Senegal.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extendedrelatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
track anybody over the Internet, to locate any Member of his family or to assist in repatriating the assets and Capital valued at US$15.5million that was deposited in bank of Spain by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the management of the bank because, the Spanish bank, has issued me a notice to provide the next of Kin or have the fund confiscated within the next twenty Official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years, I now seek your consent to present you as the Next of kin to the deceased, so that this fund could be released through you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.
I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us from any breach of the law.
NOTE: On your request the Spanish bank will released all the details of the account for your verifications.
Awaiting to hear from you in earnest.
Best Regards,
BARRISTER Fayose Greg Ali
