Tel:00229-793-976
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through
the business directory at chamber of commerce and Industry here in COTONOU-BENIN
REPUBLIC, where i was searching for a good and relaible contact which i
will entrust this business opportunity into his control, I was elated when
i saw your address,and i picked a keen interest with confidence to solicit
for your help in executing this opportunity.
However,i was moved to contact you based on the present situation of this
opportunity which i may say that it is a God given offer, there was a foreigner
who lived here in Cotonou-Benin some time ago called Arthur Williams by
name, and it happened that the man registered with me as his personal attorney,unfortunately
the man died with his wife and their two kids in a plane crash which happened
on 30th October, 1999. Owing to the death of this man called Arthur Williams
by name,his bank called on me for his balance with the bank as his attorney
since January 2003,to invite his relatives to come and claim the money,i
tried all i could to trace his family,but all my efforts proved arbortive,then
from January last year 2004,till now,the bank has been presurising me to
look for his family because they realise that a lot of swindlers have been
forwarding application to claim the money as his next of kin,but it happened
that after much verification,they will find out that those people were crooks,because
they cannot provide a legal evidence to prove that they were his relative.
Moreover,i have decided to use you as his next of kin to claim the money
for my own personal use as it happen that his relatives were not available
up till now,and i have all his documented memo in my file which will back
you up before the bank as his next of kin,i will still obtain a genuine
legal evidence which i will make out in your name to satisfy that you are
the rightful next of kin to the deceased.
Furthermore,the amount involved is ($12.750,000.00)Twelve Million,Seven
Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars,therefore i will like you
to furnish me with your full name and address which i will use to secure
the legal documents,as soon as i receive your address,i will forward an
application to you which you will submit to the concerned bank as his next
of kin.Be rest assured that their is no risk involved as i have perfected
and made the neccessary arrangements to back you up in claiming the fund.
Finally,you have to maintain the high secret this business demands as the
bank does not know that i am using you to claim the money on my own,besides,i
will compernsate you with 30% of the total money for your help and assistance,and
i will like to invest my own part of the money in your country based on
your advice.
Therefore you can now forward your address and your full name,and i will
furnish you with the application as soon as you reply this mail.
Thanks as i await your reply,
Best Regards,
Bar:Tati Ana.
