BARRISTER PETER UDO L.L.B. L.L.M B.L
LEGAL PRACTITIONER AND CONSULTANT
MEMBER CONSTITUTION DRAFTING COMMITTEE 1995
Hello my friend,
I am calling from Benin republic West Africa.I am Barrister Peter Udo an
English speaking Beninois, Solicitor & Financial Attorney/ Consultant. I was
moved to contact you based on present condition here.There is aforeigner who
registered with me as his personal Attorney and he was a fisherman as well
as a one time secret agent in lifting oil overseas for our former Ministers.
My client here-in-after referred as my client was also a Diamond/Gold
Merchant.So, on 2rd June 2002 my client made a numbered time (Fixed) deposit
for US$5.900,000.00(Five Million nine Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only) with
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK BENIN his account information: ACCOUNT NUMBER:
2342765709/784768 ROUTING NUMBER: 2342657765 CODE: NIB/LILLACWONG/99/05
BENEFICIARY'S NAME Mr Fred,with standing statement/agreement with the bank
that all correspondences in respect to the fixed deposit contract must be
sent to him through my humble chambers. Upon maturity, the routine
notification was sent to me, which I dispatched to his forwarding address as
usual without no reply.
After a month, I sent a reminder which I received from the bank without any
reply again. Finally, I read from BBC news that my client on December 2003,
with his entire family were perished in the Air-Crash on board From .
Cotonou.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm But,he died without
making any WILL and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.I
also discovered that he did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his fixed deposit contract with the bank.
Hencefort, I seek your consent to present you to this bank as the next of
kin based on the official letter I just received from his bankers reminding
me that BENINOIS LAW states that at the expiration of four(4) years the
money will revert to the ownership of the BENINOIS Government if I do not
confirm the next of kin to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to my deceased client since you shares the same surname
and also from the same country so that the fruits of this old man's labor
will not go into the hands of some corrupt government officials.Note that
this transaction is simple and risk free because I will provide expert legal
services that will guarantee the successful execution of thisdeal. If you
are interested, please contact me as soon as possible, I shall provide you
with more details and how we shall proceed with the claims.I expect you to
observe utmost confidentiality and be rest assured that this transaction
would be profitable for both of us.Thanks as I await for your reply.
Best Regards,
Barr.PETER UDO Esq.
