Attn : Dear Friend,
Compliments, I have decided to bestow this trust on you, which I pray you
will not ignore or betray. I apologize in advance for any inconveniences
this may cause you. I am Barrister Paul Ike the Personal Attorney to late
Mr George Kenneth .M., who was a contractor here in Benin Rep. Who, on the
4rd of Oct 2001, with his entire family were perished in a forceful
Auto-Crash along Misdoubt Togo express way. As a matter of fact,my client
made a fixed deposit Amount, valued at (USD$10.7M)with Reliance Bank here in
Benin Rep, and upon the duration time of their agreement, his bank started
contacting him but no response.
Consequently, 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 unsuccessfully 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 transferred 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 above email and through phone also, to enable us
discuss further the progress of this business also If you are capable to
develop my investment plan in your country using this fund.Please always
remember to reply me through my private -mail box: paul_ike001@yahoo.co.uk
for security reasons thanks.
If this Email is sent to you by mistake I bring my apologies, Please just
delete this message.
Best regards,
Bar Paul Ike (Esq)
