Atten: Sir/ Madam,
I am Barrister Manuel Jimenez , a solicitor at law. I was the personal attorney to Mr. Craig M. Christopher who was a contractor to Shell Development Company (BP).Who unfortunately died in the plane Crash of Union Transport Africaines Flight Boeing 727 in Cotonou , Benin republic on the December 25, 2003. You will read more stories about the crash on visiting this
website:http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin.crash/
Before his death, my late client{ Mr. Craig M. Christopher ) deposited as family belongings in a Bank here in Gibraltar the sum of $26.6m in here in my country for himself, with the hope of transferring it to his country as soon as he is on leave.
Since his death I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
The bank has informed me that if the deposit is not claimed within the next few days, that the deposit has with them will be declared unserviceable by the Bank and forfeited to the federal government as the law governing abandoned deposit in my country stipulates. Hence, the bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the MONEY forfeited within the
next few days.
Since, I have been unsuccessful in my search; I have resolved to seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at (USD26.6M) can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money as follows; 60% will be for me, while 40% will be for you.
Should this meet your utmost consideration, please give me your earliest reply through my email for further details. Please feel free to ask any question you consider necessary.
My chambers will acquire all legal documents that can be used to back up claim. All I require is your honest
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.
