LEGAL ATTORNEY & SOLICITOR .
I am Barr. Joseph Ikpeama , a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr.
P.B Carter, who used to work as a contractor and importer in Cotonou Benin.
[West Africa] here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 26th
December 2003, my client, his wife and their only daugther were involved in

I have made several enquiries here to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts,I was motivated to contact you assist in repatriating
the money and property left behind by my late client before they get
confiscated, frozen or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge
deposits were lodged.
Particularly where the deceased had an account valued at about $12.5M . The
Management has issued me a notice to provide the next Of kin or have the
account frozen within the next twenty Two Official working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over years now
i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at USD$12.5M can be paid to you and
then you and myself can share the money. I have all the necessary legal
informations / Documents that can be used to back you up for the claim .
And this I must do to make sure that this fund is not Wasted or end up in
the wrong hands. All I require is your honesty , co-operation to enable us
see this transaction through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law.
I am waiting your urgent reply. Please you can also reach me through my
private email address as indicated.
Thanks for understanding , waiting to hear from you urgently for more
updates.
Yours truly,
Barr. Joseph Ikpeama Esq;
