Hello Friend
Greetings with good faith,It is obvious that this proposal will come to you
as a suprise, this is because we have not met before but I am inspired to
sending you this e-mail by the huge transfer opportunity that will be mutual benefit to both of us. However, I am Barrister Abrams Jacob, the personal attorney to late Engr.Raymond Beck, a national of Your country,who used towork with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Benin Cotonou. On the Thursday, 25 December, 2003, 22:53 GMT. my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a Benin air crash.
The chartered plane, Boeing 727, crashed on take-off at Benin's Cotonou
airport and fell into the Gulf of Guinea.
You can visit this wbesit and view the crash so that you can be sure of
what I am telling you;(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/photo_gallery/3348445.stm)
Unfortunately they all lost their lives in the event of the inccident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to Embassies to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful, after these several unsuccessful attempts. I decided to trace his relatives over the internet to locate any member of his family but to no avail.
I contacted you to assist in retreiving the money and property left behind
by my late client since you are from the same country with him.
I can easily convince the bank with my legal potentials
that you are the only surviving relation of my client , otherwise the Estate
he left behind will be confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the bank where the
deceased had account valued at 65 million Dollars Conseqently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
the account confiscated within the next 21 offical working days.
since then I have been unsuccessfull in locating the relatives for over several years 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 65 million Dollars can be paid to your account and then you and me can share the money in thefollowing ration, 60% to me and 40% to you.
I will obtain all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make, all I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.The information I require from you is this; Your full name,current home or office address and your telephone/ fax number for easy communication. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Abrams Jacob (Esq
