COTONOU - BENIN REPUBLIC.
TEL:00229-289-989.
My dear friend,
I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail,if the contents
does not meet with your personal and business ethics, I appologise in
advance.
I am Mr. barrister Abaku Koffi , am an advocate and solicitor at law.
However, I was moved to contact you base on the present situation of this
oppurtunity which i may say that it is god given time offer.
there is a foreigner who lived here in cotonou Benin long ago , and it
happen that the man registered to me as his private/personal attorney.
HE WAS A FISHERMAN AS WELL AS A ONE TIME SECRET AGENT
IN LIFTING OIL TO OVERSEAS FOR OUR FORMER MINISTERS.
IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, 2000. MY CLIENT DIED WITH HIS WIFE AND THEIR
ONLY DAUGHTER WHEN THEIR SHIP CAPSIZED IN HIGH SEA.
But my client made a fixed dopsit valued at (USD$5.9M) and upon the
maturity this bank started contacting him but no response.
Conseqently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or
have the account confiscated after four years, as the law of this land
says.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any
of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over two
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you are from the same country and also bears the same
surname, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $5.9m can be paid
to you
and then you and me can share the money.
I have arranged all necessary legal documents that can be used to back
up any claim we may make waiting for your permission to submit them to
the bank on your behalf for the approval of the payment.
All I require is your honest cooperation 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.
Please get in touch with me both through email (rufaik@parsimail.com)
and phone:(+ 229 28 99 89)to enable us discuss further.
FINALLY,YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH SECRECY THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS AS
THE BANK DOES NOT KNOW THAT I AM USING YOU TO CLAIM THE MONEY ON MY
OWN, BESIDES, I WILL COMPENSATE YOU WITH 30% OF THE TOTAL MONEY FOR
YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE. AND YOU WILL STILL HELP ME AGAIN, BECAUSE I WANT
TO INVEST MY OWN PART OF THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY BASE ON YOUR ADVICE.
THANKS AS I AWAIT FOR YOUR REPLY.
BEST REGARDS,
BARRISTER KOFFI.
