From: "gold member" <memeber_gold7@hotmail.com>
Date: Wed, 05 Jul 2006 14:51:25 -0600
Subject: COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE NEEDED
Attn:Sir
I am Barrister jackson Bill , a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney and
Legal Representative to "Mr Johnson Cole", a national of Europe country,
who reside and do business here in Republic of Benin and owned ( Johnson
INVESTMENT SARL).
On the 21st of April 2003, my client, and his wife and their three children
were involved in a car accident along Lome Togo Express Road. Unfortunately,
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident. Since then,
there has not been any application to claim his money by a next of kin as
his wife who was supposed to be his next of kin died along side with my late
client in the same accident and also with all his relatives. After 4 years
of dormancy any such accounts holding funds of certain magnitudes will be
re-directed to the bank treasury as unclaimed funds and will be shared among
the bank share holders. After which the file will be closed. This is what I
am trying to prevent from happening. I will rather see the whole money go
directly to charity organization with a help of a foreigner.
If you share the same ideology as myself, please do not hesitate to contact
me. However, it may interest you to know that we have secured from probate
and order of mandamus to locate any of the deceased surviving next-of-kin.
upon this discovery. I now seek your permission to have you stand as a
next-of-kin to the deceased. All documentation will be carefully worked out
by me for the funds to be released into your favour as the beneficiary's
next-of-kin.
NOTE: THE REASON WHY I AM DOING THIS IS THAT, I WOULD RATHER SEE THE WHOLE
AMOUNT GO DIRECTLY TO CHARITY, THAN HAVE THOSE BANK DIRECTORS AND SHARE
HOLDERS HAVE IT IN THEIR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNTS.
IT IS ALSO A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY FOR ME AND HOPEFULLY YOU AS WELL.
Please acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of our mutual
business endeavor by furnishing me with the following information bellow.
1. YOUR FULL NAME/ADDRESS;
2. YOUR COMPANY NAME;
3. DIRECT TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER;
Upon your acceptance I will contact you for further discussion. I await your
urgent response via this email
