Attn: SIR/MADAM,
Compliments, I BARRISTER UYEMESIGO BENJAMIN have decided to bestow this
trust on you, which I pray you will not ignore or betray. I appologise in
advance for any inconviniences this may cause you. I am the Personal Attorney
to late Mr. PATRICK CARL , who was a contractor here in Benin Rep. And on
the 3rd of Oct 2000; my client, and his family were perished in a ghostly
car accident along Midombo Togo express way. As a matter of fact, my client
made a deposit Amount, valued at (USD$15.7M) with PLATINUM SECURITY COMPANY
here in Cotonou Benin Rep, and upon the maturity time of their agreement,
THE SECURITY COMPANY started contacting him but no response. Conseqently,
the SECURITY COMPANY issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to the
deceased as his personal attorney, or have his MONEY confiscated after
four years, as it is in the law of this country.
Since then, I have made several contacts to His Countries Embassy in order
to locate any of my clients extended relatives, which had also been 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 none of his relatives were no way to be found so that the proceeds
of this account valued at $15.7m could be transffered into your account,
thereafter, we will both share it in percentage according to our contributions
to boost the success of this great transaction. I have all the necessary
legal documents that can be used to back up all the claims we will make.
I know that you might be wonder why I have decided to trust you with this
huge sum, but the truth is that I need you to get this money out and considering
the fact that you are a foreigner which makes it a lot easier and straight
forward.
All i required is your your address where the consignemnt will be delivered
to you as the beneficairy.
And also I requires your honest cooperation to enable us make this great
benefiting transaction successfully. I guarantee you 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 as fast as possible through my E-mail
or through phone to enable us discuss further the progress of this business.
