Subject: Looking for Mr Douglas Cindy next of kin

Carre 11 Avenue Amoussou
Jericho- Cotonou.
Benin-Republic

Dear  Cindy   
I am Williams Uba, a Solicitor. I was the Personal Attorney to Mr Douglas , who Cindy  used to work with Aspamda tools Cotonou Republic of Benin .On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their three children were involved in a car accident along Hillakondji Express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my client’s extended relatives, this has also 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, it is on this premise that I am contacting you to assist in repatriating

the money and property left behind by my client before they ge t confiscated or declared un claimable by the SECURITY and TRUST company, where this huge deposits were lodged.Note that the Security and trust company where the deceased had a deposit value of $10.million US dollars, has issued me a notice to provide her next of kin or have the deposit confiscated within the next three official working months.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this deposit valued at $10.million dollars can be paid to you and
then you and I will share the money, 60% to me and 30% to you, while 10% shall be used to defray all expenses and/or taxes as your government may demand, I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.

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 f rom any breach of the law.
You have to assure me that you will not sit on the fund when it is finally claimed.

Please get in touch with me through my private email address(ogele24@hotmail.com ) to enable us discuss further.

Best regards,
Williams Uba (Esq.)
