Subject: FROM THE DESK OF: BARRISTER PROGRESS BENSON
FROM THE DESK OF: BARRISTER PROGRESS BENSONBENSON'S CHAMBERS,PLOT 112, KINGSWAY ROAD ALAHUSALAGOS NIGERIA.
Dear Friend, I am Barrister Progress Benson Esq.,a solicitor at law.I am the personal attorney to my late client Mr. Brown, (Chief Executive Officer) of BIOOIL OIL SERVICING LTD,who till his untimely death was a contractor with Texaco Nigeria in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Whom here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 30th of august 2004,my client,his wife and their only son were involved in a car accident along Calabar/Ikot ekpene express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives,since the only next of kin he left behind was his wife,who unfortunately died in the crash too,May their souls rest in perfect peace.well this has also proved unsuccessfull. The AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK GROUP PLC (ADB),where my late client had a deposit of US$5.5 Million has issued me a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the account confiscated within fourteen official working days Since the only next of kin he left his money was his wife, and she also died in the car crash along with him and the kid,it would be a waste for the bank to seize the money,bearing this in mind I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$5.5 Million can be paid to you by the bank and then you and I can share the money between us on terms we shall discuss and agree on. I have all the necessary legal documents that we will use to backup the claim with the bank upon my presenting you to the bank as the next of kin of my late client which i will make available to you when and if the need arises. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through.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 immediately as I do not have much time at my disposal due to the bank's notification given to me. Please acknowlegde the receipt of this letter through my private email address below if you are ready to assist me: (progressbenson1@yahoo.co.uk) Thanking you in advance for your anticipated co-operation. Best Regards,Barrister Progress Benson Esq.
