Jericho- Cotonou.
Benin-Republic
Dear Sir
I Ekeh Tony , a Solicitor. I was the Personal Attorney
to Richard Burson, who used to work with shell development company
Cotonou Republic of Benin . My client was involved in plan crash with Egypt Air you can visit the website).
:http://www.zenpageweavers.com/malikahti/journal/flight.htm
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 get
confiscated or declared unclaimable 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 $12 million US dollars, has issued me a notice to
provide his 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 $12 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 from 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 e-mail to enable us discuss further.
Best regards,
Ekeh Tony(Esq.)
