From: "John 201" <john_2018@msn.com>

Subject: CHIEF SENATOR.UBA UGO.L.L.B. L.L.M B.L
CHIEF SENATOR.UBA UGO.L.L.B. L.L.M B.L
LEGAL PRACTITIONER AND CONSULTANT
MEMBER CONSTITUTION DRAFTING COMMITTEE 2005
Dear sir/madam,
I am SENATOR.UBA UGO, An SENATOR at Law in the Republic of BENIN. I am the
personal SENATOR UBA UGO. A stock Broker who also deals on commodities
[petroleum products and solid minerals], whom I believe is a National of
your country. This client of mine died on September 11th Terrorist Attack on
WORLD TRADE CENTER in UNITED STATES. He died on a secondary cause of the
Terrorist Attack on the WTC when a Car conveying him and his wife crashed
into a stationary Truck at the premises of the WTC in the ensuing confusion.
The Truck actually belonged to the Fire Service Authorities of the USA and
since then I have been in a legal tussle with the Authority to include the
Names of my client and his wife into the list of the Attack Victims but this
has not worked yet.
Before he died, my client has the sum of US$10.440,000.00 (Ten Million, Four
hundred and Fourth Thousand US Dollars) in his account with BANK OF AFRICA
(BANQUE DE AFRIQUE). Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any
of his extended Relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to locate any member of his family.
This has also not paid-off. I therefore, decided to contact you to assist in
claiming of the money left behind by my client as his next-of-kin .His
Account will be declared "unserviceable" by the Bank if the money remains
unclaimed by his relations after a reasonable time and this will mean a
total loss. I therefore, seek your consent to present you as the next of kin
to the deceased so that the money US$10.440m will be paid to you, then you
and I will share the money.
Note that all necessary legal documents will be in place to back up the
claims. 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. Once I have
your consent and trust, I will immediately raise all necessary documents and
instruct the bank to move the money on your name to the account number you
may chose.
NOTE: YOU CAN CONTACT DR.WALTER FRAKAS FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT ANY
ARRANGEMENT YOU MAY NEEDED WITH THIS EMAIL ADDRESS:
drwalter_farkas@yahoo.com
Anticipating your urgent response.
With my best regards,
Senator Uba Ugo
