Dear Friend,
Compliments,I Barrister PETER AkUMA have decided to bestow this trust on
you, which I pray you will not ignore or betray.I appologize in advance
for any inconviniences this may cause you. I am Barrister PETER AKUMA the
Personal Attorney to late Mr micheal williams, who was a contractor here
in Benin Rep.Who, on December 2003, with his entire family were perished
in Air -Crash on board from Cotonou.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm
As a matter of fact, My client made a fixed deposit Amount, valued at (USD$15.9M)
with Arab Bank here in Benin Rep, and upon th duration time of their agreement,his
bank started contacting him but no response.
Conseqently, The bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin to
the deceased as his personal attorney,or have his
account confiscated after four years, as it is in the law of this country.
Since then,
I have made several contacts to His Countrys Embassy in order to locate
any of my clients extended relatives,which had also been unsuccessful.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over two years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
since none of his relatives were no way to be found so that the proceeds
of this account valued at $15.9m could be transffered into your account,
thereafter,we will both share it in percentage according to our contributions
to boost the success of this great transaction.
I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up all
the claims we will make.All I require is your honest cooperation to enable
us make this great benefiting transaction successfully.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that
will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me
