Subject: Attn: Sir,
Attn: Sir,
I am Barrister C. Lehman, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Eng. Pal Thrasher, who worked with shell development company, Cotonou, Hereinafter referred to as my client.
In the year 2003, my client, his wife And their two children were involved in a plane crash {Benin plain crash} Since then I have been expecting any member of his immediate family to come up or ask for his belonging and but none came.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace any member of his family by myself hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money in a consignment{crate}and property left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security and finance company where the deceased{{my late client}had in a CRATE (7.5 million )dollars. The security and finance company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the consignment {Crate} confiscated within the next ten official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating his relatives for over 1 year plus now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the consignment {fund} can be released to you and then you and I can share the money.
As regards the above, 50% to me and 50% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we are to make. Moreover, I am making every necessary arrangement to cause the holding firm to move the consignment to your country or any nearby country for our easy collection once we certify them with the requirements. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us seeing 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 by my email: to enable us discuss further.

Note: I would want you to indicate on your interest and how you want this fund to transfer to you as every legal arrangement has been concluded.
