Dear friend, I am Barrister S. Walker, a solicitor. Am the personal attorney to my late client Engr JB ,A national of your country, who used to Work with Shell Petroleum Company here in Rep of Benin after shall be referred to as my client. In 2003, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a plane crash in a village called Adjarra near Porto Novou after take off from Cotonou in Benin Republic. It was unfortunate that my client and his family all lost their lives in the crash. For more on the plane crash log on to http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-12/26/content_293549.htm since then I have made several enquiries in Cotonou and Porto Novou to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track search with his last name to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated, frozen or declared unserviceable by the deposit security company where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly where the deceased had a valued at about 10.5 Million pounds Only (Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand pounds Only) l don't want this fund to go into country treasury as unclaimed fund, due to the law imposed by the formal British prime minister GORDON BROWN in world press conference on the 6th of December 2005, at 12:18 GMT, for more information about the prime minister decision on dormant account visit: (news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4017381.stm The Management has issued me a notice to provide the next Of kin or have the account frozen within the next twenty one Official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now i seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased, since you have the same last name, so that the proceeds of the 10.5M can be paid to you and both of us will share the money. I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. And this I must do to make sure that this fund is not wasted or end up in the wrong hands. All I require is your honesty, co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I am waiting your urgent reply. Your positive response will be appreciated.
