ASSETS OF MY LATE CLIENT
I am Barrister Stanley Chynoo (esq.) a Solicitor and Personal lawyer to
the above name client of mine, a national of your country who has a
servicing firm affiliated with the Electric Authority here in Benin
Republic . He was awarded a contract worth Twenty Three Million United
States Dollars (US$23,000,000.00). Immediately this contract was
signed, an initial amount of Nine Million, Six Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars US$9.600, 000.00) was paid to him as mobilization fee
to kick off the contract.
He duly completed this contract pending when his remaining balance of
(US$13,400,000.00) will be paid to him. On the 21st April 2004, my
client, his wife and their three children were involved in a ghastly
motor accident along B adagry Express Road . Unfortunately, all the
occupants in the vehicle lost their lives. My client was a successful
and an accomplished family man, who made enough fortune before his
untimely death.
Since then I had made several inquiries through your Embassy to locate
any of my clients extended relative but this exercise has proved
unsuccessful after several unsuccessful attempts.
Not too long after his untimely death, his outstanding balance of
US$13,400,000.00 was approved. Right now the funds are still floating
unclaimed in the suspense account of the offshore correspondence
payment centre in Europe . I decided to trace his relatives through
the Internet, to locate any member of his family not much progress was
recorded. Coincidentally, I came across your name and to my surprise;
you bear a similar surname with my client. By virtue of my closeness
to the deceased and his immediate family, I am very much aware of my
client related documen ts on which the contract was awarded and
executed. I have reasoned very professionally and I feel it will be
legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased
client, so that you can be paid the remaining balance of his contract
funds left in the bank, hence I contacted you.
I am offering you this opportunity by contacting you to assist in
repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before
they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank where these
huge Deposits were lodged. The National Electric Authority issued me a
notice as the Attorney to the Deceased to provide the Next of Kin or
have the Account confiscated within the Next Ten official working days
since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 1
year that I have been searching, I seek your consent to present you as
the Next of Kin or family member to the Deceased since you are at an
advantage, from the same country, so that the proceeds of this
remaining balance of his contract funds valued at $13.4 Million
Dollars can be paid to you.
We shall both share the funds; we will agreed on the sharing ratio as
we proceed, A certain amount will be for any incurred expenses and for
donation to charitable organizations. I have all the necessary Legal
Documents that will be used to back up any claim we may make. All I
require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this claim
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Please get
in touch with me through my private email (stanleychynoosec@gmail.com) or
phone to enable us discuss further.
Respectfully Yours,
Barrister Stanley Chynoo (ESQ)
