Dear Friend,
Private Message
I am contacting you for the claim of your late uncle fund that was deposited
with the Banque. I am soliciting for your confidence in this matter, this
is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top Secret.
Though I know that a contact of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive
and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well since I know everything
about your late uncle fund. I have decided to contact you due to the urgency
of this matter. Let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am
Barrister Hammers Koukou the personal Attorney to your (Snr)an oil Merchant
with the Federal Government of lome-togo,who die some years ago in Kenya
Air Bus (A310-300)Flight KQ430. He was Banking with Banque Lome Togo and
had a closing balance as at the end of september,2001 worth $14(United States
Dollars).The bank now expects the Next of Kin to come forward as beneficiary.
Efforts have been made by the Banque Lome Togo to get in touch with any
of the Deceased Family or Relatives, but they have met with no success.
As the deceased being a foreigner, that was why I decided to contact you
so that you can put claim on this. Now the management under the influence
of the bank Chairman and Members of the Board of directors, has made arrangement
for the fund to be declared Unclaimed so that they can share the money amongst
themselves. In order to avert this negative development, it is my duty to
contact you since your name was amongst listed in his personal files that
was with me, now you are to stand as the next of kin to his properties.
All documents and proof to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked
out by me for this claim. I have secured from the probate an order of Mandamus
to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so am assuring you
that this claim is 100%risk free. Now it is left for you decide on what
you will give as my percentage for assisting you in this claim.
