S.Johnson & CO. CHAMBERS, L.L.B. L.L.M B.L
LEGAL PRACTITIONERS AND SOLICITORS OF THE
SUPREME COURT OF BENIN, RUE 121,
COTONOU BENIN REPUBLIC.
Hello dear friend,
I am Barrister Simeon Johnson, English speaking Beninoise, Solicitor and
Financial Attorney/Consultant. I was moved to contact you based on the
present condition of things here. There was a foreigner who registered
with my Legal firm as his personal Attorney and he was a stock broker as
well as a one time secret agent in importing oil from overseas for our
former Ministers. My client was also a Diamond/Gold Merchant.
So, on 2nd June 2001 my client made a fixed deposit for US$42,800,000.00
(Forty Two Million, Eight Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only) with a Bank
here in Benin, with standing statement/agreement with the bank that all
correspondences in respect to the fixed deposit contract must be sent to
him through my humble chambers. Upon maturity, the routine notification
was sent to me, which I dispatched to his forwarding address as usual
without a reply.
After a month, I sent a reminder which I received from the bank without
any reply again. Finally, I discovered from my client's contract employee
that he died among many others on Sept.11, 2001 Terrorist attack though
his death was on a secondary cause during the inferno and his names were
not listed in the 9/11 data. He died without making any WILL and all
attempts to trace his relatives was fruitless.
I also discovered that he did not declare any kin or relations in all his
official documents, including his fixed deposit contract with the bank.
Hence I seek your consent to present you to this bank as the next of kin
based on the official letter I just received from his bankers reminding me
that BENINOISE LAW states that at the expiration of ten (10) years the
money will be reverted to the ownership of the BENINOISE Government if I
do not confirm the next of kin to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand
in as the next of kin to my deceased client since you shares the same
surname and also from this same country so that the fruits of this old
man's labour will not go into the hands of some corrupt government
officials.
Note that this transaction is simple and risk free because I will provide
expert legal services that will guarantee the successful execution of this
deal. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible through
phone, I shall provide you with more details and how we shall proceed with
the claims. I expect you to observe utmost confidentiality and be rest
assured that this transaction would be profitable for both of us. Kindly
reply to my secured email account as johnsonsimeon17@yahoo.com.hk
Thanks as I
wait for your reply.
Best Regards,
Hon. Barrister Simeon Johnson
