Dear Friend,
I am barrister Donald Wilson, An Attorney at Law in the Republic of Benin
and the personal Attorney to Mr. Graig C. Wright, a stock Broker who also
deals on comodities, whom I believe was a National of your country. This
client of mine died on september 11th Terrorist Attack on the world trade
center in the U S A. He died on a secondary cause of the Terrorist Attack
on the ( WTC ) when a Car conveying him and his wife crashed into a stationary
Truck at the premises of the ( WTC ) in the ensuing confusion. The Truck
actually belonged to the Fire Service Authorities of the USA and since then
I have been in a legal tussle with the Authority to include the names of
my client and his wife into the list of the Attack Victims but this has
not worked yet.
Before he died, my client has the sum of US$10.7,000.00 (Ten Million, seven
hundred Thousand US Dollars) in his account with Reliance Bank ( RELIANCE
BANK DU BENIN ).Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of
his extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his name over the Internet, to
locate any member of his family. This has also not paid-off. I therefore,
decided to contact you to assist me in claiming of the money as the next-of-kin
to my late client. His Account will be declared "unserviceable" by the Bank
if the money remains unclaimed by his relatives after a reasonable time
and this will mean a total loss.
I therefore, seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the money US$10.7m will be paid to you ,then I and you
will share the money. Note that all neccesary legal documents will be in
place to back up the claims. 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.
Once I have your consent and trust,I will immediately raise all necesary
documents and instruct the bank to move the money on your name to the account
number you may chose. Please, do get in touch with me as soon as possible
through phone so that we will discuss further the progress of this business.
Anticipating your urgent response.
With my best regards,
Hon. Barr. Donald Wilson.
