Dear Bergman,

I humbly crave your indulgence in sending you this mail,if the contents does not meet with your personal and business ethics,I appologise in advance.I am Barrister Patrick Mankou, the Personal Attorney to late Edward Bergman, who was a contractor with emelite gold mining company here in Benin. And on the 3rd of Oct 2000, my client,and his family were perished in a ghastly car accident along Midombo Togo express way.But my client made a fixed deposit valued at (USD 9.8 M) and upon the maturity this bank started contacting him but no response.
Conseqently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated after four years, as the law of this land says. Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. Since i have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over two years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you are from the same country and also bears the same last name,so that the proceeds of this account valued at USD 9.8 M can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money.
I know that you might be wondering why i have decided to trust you with this huge sum, but the truth is that i need you to get this money out and considering the fact that you are a foreigner which makes it a lot easier and straight forward. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make.
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. Please get in touch with me to enable us discuss further about this claim.

Best regards,
Barrister Patrick Mankou.
