Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Smith Banji, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to
ENGR.STEVE TONY, a national of your country, who used to work with Shell
Development Company in cotonou--Republic of benin. On the 16th of July 2005,
my client, his wife And their only child were involved in a plane crash. Let
me refer you to the front page of (BBC) World News of Sunday, 17th July
2005. You can check it through their website
below;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4689787.stm
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 locate any member of his family
but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the money that belong to my
client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the
deceased had an account valued at about $4.5 million dollars has issued me a
notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confisicated within
the next 14 official working days.
Since i have been unsuccesful in locating the the relatives for over a year
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 $4.5million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and me can share the money. 50% to me and 45% to
you,while 5% should be rembursement of incidental expenses that may incure
during the process of the transaction or tax as your government may require,
I will secure certificate of deposit and other relevant approvals documents
that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your
honest cooperation 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 by
my email to enable us discuss further. Please contact me through my
private email: (barrsmithbanji2000@excite.com}
Looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,
Barrister Smith Banji.
