My, name is Mr. James Lynn. i work with one of the leading Banks here
in Benin republic. I would need your consent to present you as the
next of kin to our late customer who died of heart attack in 2014. He
was a wealthy business man who deposited a huge amount in our Bank. He
died without any registered next of kin as he was long divorced and
had no child.
I was his account officer and have in my possession all the documents
required to present you as his beneficiary next of kin. I contacted
you because you have same name identity with our late client and can
perfectly fit in as next of kin, We can work together to claim this
fund. Please listen, this is real and goes on in Banks all over the
world without people knowing. Let us utilize this opportunity because
it does not come always. A lot of customers open private accounts with
different Banks without the knowledge of their families and when they
die, such money will be lost to the Bank unless someone comes to claim
it. This is how a lot of Bank Directors make so much money silently.
On your confirmation of this message and indicating your interest, I
will furnish you with more details. Please endeavor to provide me with
the following so that we can discuss in details
1)mobile phone numbers
2)full name
3)contact address and occupation
I urgently hope to get your response as soon as possible
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. James Lynn
