Good day,
I cannot imagine how you will feel receiving a sudden business letter from a remote country
in far away Benin Republic in West Africa and probably from some one you have not closely
related with. All the same, I believe we do not need to be of blood relatives before we can
establish cordial/business relationship.
Having said this, I think it is very important now to introduce myself to you and disclose to
you, how I encountered your e-mail address/profile.
As stated above, i remain's Barrister Robinson J the Personal Attorney to late Mr Michael
Gill, who was a contractor here in Benin Rep. Who, on December 2003, with his entire
family were perished in Air -Crash on board from Cotonou.

I got your email address/profile from the Internet when I was in search for reliable and
competent person to handle this matter for our future benefits. Therefore, it is my pleasure
to solicit your assistance in a very confidential business proposal. I am contacting you
because I do not want to transact the business with anybody who is known to any staff of
this bank or anybody around here to avoid any possible blackmail or leakage at the end of
the transaction.
Actually, my client made a fixed deposit Amount, valued at (USD$15M) with Cemac Bank
here in Benin Rep, and upon the duration time of their agreement, his bank started
contacting him but no response. Consequently, 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 Countryâs Embassy in order to locate any of
my clients extended relatives, which had also been unsuccessful. Since I have been
unsuccessful 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 $15million could be transferred 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 making 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 this email address;
barrjrobinson2007@myway.com to enable us discusses further the progress of this
business.
Best Regards,
Bar. Robinson James
Senior advocate of Benin (SAB).
