Subject: ATTN: MCMINN, URGENT PLEASE.
PETER EZENWA,PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY,HUMILITY CHAMBERS & NOTARY PUBLIC,2 KUDETI AVENUE,COTONOU ,BENIN REPUBLIC. DEAR MCMINN, I am Barrister PETER EZENWA, the chief Attorney of Humility Chambers & Notary Public. I contacted you via-internet to discuss an important issue regarding my late client MR FREDRICK MCMINN who before his death had an account valued at (US$7.5million Dollars) with the INTERCONTINENTAL BANK OF AFRICA,here in Benin Republic. My client MR FREDRICK who was a contractor with shell petroleum company was involved in a plane crash in a neighbouring country, Cote d Ivoire. Just before his death, he entrusted some documents with me of which have been under my custody till date .I contacted his embassy immediately after his death in search of his relative or any member of his family and that have also proved abortive. However, i contacted you to assist me in recovering this fund since you are bearing the same last name with him and for me to present you as his Next of Kin / beneficiary to this fund. The bank in which this funds is been lodged (Deposited) has issued my honourable chamber a notice to present the next of kin of my late client or have the funds confiscated or declare it unserviceable at the end of 60 days. Please am sorry for any inconvenience this might cause you but i think it will be better for both of us if this funds is been transfered into your account and we share it 50/50 percent. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free as i have some legal documents to back up the claim. So i will need you to re-confirm to me the below informations to begin the process as soon as possible.
1. Your Full names:2. Your Residential address:3. Your Cell Phone Number,for easy communication:4. Your Fax Number: 5. Your Age and marital status.6. Your Occupation.
Once armed with this informations, i will immediately forward a letter of Application to the bank which will be written in your name in order to get an Approval which marks the commencement of the transaction and also, i can be able to secure all the necessary legal documents from the High Court here in your name which will back you up for this claim and also as the beneficiary /next of kin to the Late Fredrick . I look foward to hearing from you soonest.
Best Regards,BARRISTER PETER EZENWA.PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY,HUMILITY CHAMBERS & NOTARY PUBLIC.
