Honestly, I'm going to stop pointing this out.  99% of the time, these addresses don't match.  There's no reason for that other than dishonesty.

Hello my friend, (Your friend, huh?  And you'd never try to steal from a friend, now would you?)

 

I am Barrister Donald Wilson, 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 and stoke broker.  (A stoke broker, huh?  I see.)

 

So, on June 2003 my client made a fixed deposit for US$9,500,000.00 (Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only) in a Bank here in Benin with standing statement/agreement with the bank that all correspondence 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 with his family in the Benin Republic December 26, 2003 plane crash. Take a look at this; (http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-12/26/content_293549.htm) He died without making any WILL and all attempts to trace his relatives were fruitless.  (Classic!  Your client dies, and you want me to pretend to be his heir and steal his money, so you can have a cut too...right?)

 

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 labor 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 (I bet you'll provide fantastic legal advice.)  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. Thanks as I wait for your reply.

 

Best regards,

Hon. Barrister Donald Wilson (Esq)

 

Nigerian scam, but out of Benin (supposedly) this time.  The premise is always the same.  Common sense should tell you that random strangers aren't going to solicit you to help them steal millions of dollars.  Remember...if it sounds too good to be true...
