Dear Friend,
I bid you greetings this beautiful day, as i hope that all
is well with you and your entire family members according to
God's tender Mercies and Loving kindness.
My name is Barrister Fredric Dohou, a solicitor at law. I am
the personal attorney to late Mr Nam Aziz, here in after
shall be referred to as my client. On Tuesday, 12 February,
2002 my client and his entire family died in an Iranian
passenger plane crash. Below is the plane crash website=
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1815680.stm
Since the death of my client and his family, I have made
several enquiries to there embassy to locate any of his
extended relatives, which proved unsuccessful. After these
several unsuccessful attempts I decided to contact you. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this
huge deposit were lodged. Particularly CONTINENTAL BANK -
BENIN, where the deceased has an account valued at about
37.5 Million USA Dollars.
Last week the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin of my late client or have his account confiscated within
the next twenty-one official working days which is in
accordance with the laws of our country. But my client Mr
Nam Aziz does not have any written will before his death and
he did not specify any next of kin during the time he opened
the account with CONTINENTAL BANK - BENIN. Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the relatives for years, I now seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased, so that the proceeds of his account valued at 37.5
Million dollars can be paid to your account and then you and
I will share the money 50% for me and 50% for you.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to
backup any claim you may make as the legal next of kin to Mr
Nam Aziz. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable
us see this deal through. I guarantee that this deal will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect
both of us from any breach of the law.
Kindly get back to me immediately you read my mail.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Fredric Dohou
