Attn: Dear, Friend
Compliments, I David Majisha have decided to bestow this trust on you, which
I pray you will not ignore or betray. I apologise in advance for any inconveniences
this may cause you. I am Barrister David Majisha the Personal Attorney to
late Mr George A. M. William, who was a contractor here in Benin Republic.
Who, on the 3rd of Oct 2001, with his entire family were perished in a fierceful
Auto-Crash along Midombo Togo express way. As a matter of fact, my client
made a fixed deposit Amount, valued at (USD$10.7M) with Arab Bank Benin here
in Cotonou Benin Rep, and upon the duration time of their agreement his bank
started contacting him but no response. Consequently, the bank issued me
a notice to provide the next of kin to the deceased as his personal attorney,
or have his account 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 unsuccessful 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 $10.7m could be transferred 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.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us make this great benefiting
transaction successfully.
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
as fast as possible through this to enable us discuss further the progress
of this business.

With best regards,
Hon: David Majisha
Senior advocate of Benin(SAB).
