Attn:My Dear,
Compliments,I barrister John have decided to bestow this trust on you, which
I pray you will not ignore or betray.I appologize in advance for any
inconviniences this may cause you.
I am Barrister John Abuh the Personal Attorney to late Mr. George K.Marshal,
who was a contractor here in Benin Rep.Who, on December 2003, with his
entire family were perished in Air -Crash on board from
Cotonou.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm As a matter of fact,
My client made a fixed deposit Amount, valued at (USD$10.5M) with Arab Bank
here in Benin Rep, and upon the duration 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 $10.5m 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.
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
mail:(johnabuh@myway.com ) and through phone also, to enable us discuss
further the progress of this business. 00229-93-232-015
With best regards,
Hon: John Abuh Esq,
