And on the 3rd of Oct 2000, my client, and his family were perished in a ghastly car accident along Midombo Togo express way. As a matter of fact, my client made a fixed dopsit Amount, valued at (USD$10.7M) with Legend Trust Bank here in Cotonou Benin Rep, and upon the maturity time of their agreement, his bank started contacting him but no response. Conseqently, 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 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 $10.7m 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 require is 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. or through phone to enable us discuss further the progress of this business so reply to me through here only {gabking_n@yahoo.com}
