CHIEF BARR.JOHN IWUNOR L.L.B. L.L.M B.L
LEGAL PRACTITIONER AND CONSULTANT
MEMBER CONSTITUTION DRAFTING COMMITTEE 1995
Dear Sir/madam
I am barrister john iwunor An Attorney at Law in the Republic of Benin and
the personal Attorney to Mr.Graig C. Wright, a stock Broker who also deals
on commodities, whom I believe was a National of your country. This client
of mine died on september 11th Terrorist Attack on the world trade center in
the U S A. He died on a secondary cause of the Terrorist Attack on the ( WTC
) when a Car conveying him and his wife crashed into a stationary Truck at
the premises of the ( WTC ) in the ensuing confusion. The Truck actually
belonged to the Fire Service Authorities of the USA and since then I have
been in a legal tussle with the Authority to include the names of my client
and his wife into the list of the Attack Victims but this has not worked
yet.
Before he died, my client has the sum of US$10.5,000.00 (Ten Million, five
hundred Thousand US Dollars) in his account with Cemac Bank ( AFRICAN
DEVELOPMENT BANK PLC, COTONOU-REPUBLIC DU BENIN).Since then I have made
several inquiries to locate any of his extended relatives but this has
proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to
track his name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family. This
has also not paid-off. I therefore, decided to contact you to assist me in
claiming of the money as the next-of-kin to my late client. His Account will
be declared "unserviceable" by the Bank if the money remains unclaimed by
his relatives after a reasonable time and this will mean a total loss.
I therefore, seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased so that the money US$10.5m will be paid to you ,then I and you will
share the money. Note that all neccesary legal documents will be in place to
back up the claims. All I require is your honest cooperation 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. Once I have your consent and trust,I will immediately
raise all necesary documents and instruct the bank to move the money on your
name to the account number you may chose. Please, do get in touch with me as
soon as possible so that we will discuss further the progress of this
business.
Remmember to send your full name, address, phone and fax numbers.
pls contact me with this my private email address.(johniwunor@live.fr)
Anticipating your urgent response.
With my best regards,
Barr. john iwunor
