Subject: From Barrister Alfred Lolo Esq.
Dear,
This is a personal email directed to you and I request that it should be
treated as such. I am Barrister. Alfred Lolo of Cabinet Le
Jurisconsult Conseils & Etudes, COTONOU, REPUBLIC OF BENIN, a Lawyer and
Solicitor at Law.
I am the Personal Attorney/Sole Executor to the Estate of my Late Client, who
worked as an Independent Oil Merchant in my country COTONOU, REPUBLIC OF BENIN,
before he died in a car crash with his immediate family on the 5Th of Nov, 2004.
I carried out this search on you and I am contacting you because you bear a
similar last name with that of my Late Client and the further reasons are as
follows: Since the death of my client in Nov, 2004, I have tried my best to
locate any of his extended family relatives who legally should have been
Claimants/Beneficiaries of his abandoned personal estate but all such efforts
have been to no avail.
However, going by the recent publications by the Management of the Bank in
which my Client deposited the sum of £21.2M(Twenty One million Two Hundred
Thousand British Pounds), I fear a likely confiscation proceedings in the coming
months, hence my contacting you.
I seek your consent therefore; to present you to the Management of this bank as
my Client's Next of Kin since you bear a similar last name with him so that
you can help repatriates the money to a foreign account. I promise a fair share
of 50%-50% at the end of the transfer.
If you are very interested, get back to
me as soon as possible with your full details; so that I will provide you
further information on the next step.I want to assure you that I have all the
requirements to execute this Claim.
What is required is trust and a solemn confidentiality on this project by both
parties involved. Please let me have your opinion as soon as possible and send
to me your personal Information as follows for the execution of this
transaction.
