As a matter of fact, My client made a fixed deposit Amount, valued at (USD$10.7M) with Reliance Bank here in Benin Rep, and upon the duration time of their agreement,His Bank started contacting him but no response. Conseqently, The Bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased as his personal attorney,or have his account confiscated after four years, as it is in the law of this country.
Since then, I have made several contacts to His Countries Embassy in order to locate any of my clients extended relatives,which had also been unsuccessful. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over two years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since none of his relatives were no way to be found so that the proceeds of this account valued at $10.7m could be transffered into your account,
thereafter,we will both share it in percentage according to our contributions to boost the success of this great transaction. I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up all the claims we will make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us make this great benefiting transaction successfully.
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 as fast as possible through mail:(barristerijeoma@yahoo.ca) and also, to enable us discuss further the progress of this business.
With best regards,
Hon:BarristerIjeoma Esq,
