Subject: YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED.
FROM: Barrister Paul Emekachu.
TEL: 234-803-581-4937.
I am Barrister Paul Emekachu, an International Legal Practitioner
and a Consultant to Mr. Shouwkat Kahlil, a Lebanese Importer of Textiles
and Automobiles, based in Cotonou,Republic of Benin for the past twenty
years.
Unfortunately, my client Mr Shouwkat Kahlil was one of the passengers that
died in the ill-fated plane crash involving a Boeing 727 UTA chartered
flight that took off from Cotonou, Republic of Benin and crashed into the
Atlantic ocean on Thursday, 25 December 2003. For details of the plane crash,please
visit :

Before the untimely death of my client, he had through a security company
here in Cotonuo moved the sum of US$20.5m to Europe and was to proceed
to Netherlands immediately after the Holiday to complete arrangements and
have this money Deposited into ABN AMRO BANK and already the security company
where the funds was deposited has sent notice to me requesting that this
funds should be claimed by the depositor (My Client) or his next of kin
within 14 working days, else the fund will be forfeited to the state. I
must confess to you that if I do not find a way to bring this fund out of
the Finance Company, I will be doing the greatest injustice to my late friend
and his family. this is why I decided to you to stand in as a next of kin
or his business partner who was supposed to receive the funds for investment
in Europe.
There are no risks involved as I am the only person who has access to my
client's documents. The Finance firm has just sent a reminder to my client
through me, informing him of the maturity of his fund. Your compensation
for your assistance in securing the fund is subject to negotiations. I
need the following information from you. Your full names,address,telephone
and Fax numbers. Also Copy of your Identification. Reply urgently, as we
must conclude this transaction within the next 14 working days Sincerely,
Barrister Paul Emekachu.
