Dear Sir/Madam,
Please kindly accept my apology for sending unsolicited mail to you. I
believe you are a highly respected personality, considering the fact that I
sourced your profile from a human resource profile database on your country.
Well, I am Barr. Augustine Donald,a Senior Advocate Of Benin Republic(SAB),
a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to Mr. Michael George , who used to
work with Oando Petroleum Development Company [West Africa],Cotonuo branch.
It happened that On the 21st day of Aprial 2003,my client, his wife and
their three children were involved in a ghastly motor accident on their way
to Lome capital city of Togo Republic .
Unfortunately, they all lost their lives in the event of the accident. Since
then I have made several enquiries to their embassy to locate any of my
client's relatives to as to hand his properties over to him/her but this has
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, hence, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by my client in Eco International Bank here in Cotonuo Benin
Republic.He has a huge deposite of USD$15 Million (Fifteen Million United
States Dollars only) before his untimely death with the bank.
Consequently, the bank has issued me a notice to provide the Next of Kin to
claim the US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars only) in
their custody within the next ten official working days or the fund would be
confiscated be be reverted into government money. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now,and would not
like the money to be wasted by those in the authority of our country, I seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased to claim the
fund. As the Next of Kin to him the fund will be transferred to your account
by the Bank .Be informed that the bank has only myself to provide the
relative as the attorney of Engr M George and the only living witness to his
property and his only representation living.
Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your country to meet with you
for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will share the money in
this order: 60% will be for me, 30% will be for you and the remaining 10%
will take care of the expenses. I will back this claim with legal documents
that I will prepare in your name and present it to them so that you would be
recognised as the relative and the bonafide next of kin to Engr M
Goerge.All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. All replies
should be forwarded via my private mail box
(austindonald_chambers1@yahoo.co.uk
Best regards.
DR.AUGUSTINE DONALD
(Principal Attorney)
