Attn:My Dear, Compliments,I Barrister. JOHN OSITA have decided to bestow

.I appologize in advance for any inconviniences this may cause you. I am

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$15.7M) with FINANCIAL 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 $15.7m 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.
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: EMAIL
barristerjohnosita@yahoo.com . and through phone also, to enable us discuss
further the progress of this business. With best regards,
