Subject: i wish ro ask for your cooperation to achieve this task
My dear,
The inspiration to contact you is simply divine providence; I am making this
proposition because I have to seek the partnership of a resource person to
help me realise this project.
I am Barrister Beroi Ovie a solicitor and investment consultant a
nationality of Liberia but based in Cotonou-Benin Rep.I was attending a
business luncheon in Berlin, Germany and I got introduced to this renowned
American and property mogul, Late Mr. Eric Sanchez (of the blessed memory)
who transacts his business between Asia, West Africa and Europe. He engaged
my services as attorney and investment consultant and my primary assignment
was to spearhead his investment forays in the West Africa as an
oil-servicing engineer. Three months later I invited him to West Africa and
under my professional guidance and based on my advice he made a fixed
deposit of (US$10,000,000.00) Ten million United States dollars at a
financial institution here in Benin with affiliate in Spain.
This deposit was for 12 months and upon maturity I made effort to contact my
client, I could not reach him or any member of his family. I was forced to
travel to Germany to get his contact since we have lost contact as at that
time and there I got the tragic news that Mr. Sanchez was involve in an air
crash at Republic of Benin on Friday 26th December 2003. You can as well
confirm it by yourself through the under stated Website of the incident
(http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/); as the fund has
been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim.
I have made efforts to locate any member of his family with strong
biological links to my late client without success. In the course of my
visit to Germany I found out that the person he had stayed with was a casual
friend and could not assist. The search to find a close relation is one that
has consumed time and resources. The institution is asking me to either
present a next of kin to Late Mr. Eric Sanchez or forfeit the deposit.
So, my proposal is to package and present you as next of kin to Late Mr.
Eric Sanchez and process the fixed deposit and transfer custody to you for
our mutual benefit. My capacity as solicitor/investment consultant to my
late client gives me the discretion to package and transfer the deposit to
you.
On your reply we shall agree on what shall be your percentage commission for
this assistance while it has been decided by me that 10% of this sum shall
be given to the hurricane victim funds in USA.
I will wait for your reaction and response and then together we can start
this project and nurture it to reality.
Your urgent response is anticipated.
Barrister Beroi O.Ovie.
