Subject: Please, treat urgently.
Hello My Dear,
I am Barrister Mercel Tite, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to a national of your country, who worked with Shell development Company in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to foreign Embassies here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also prooved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, to locate any member of his family hence, I contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$9million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the BANK where this huge
amount were deposited.
The said BANK in LOME-TOGO has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty-one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you are a FOREIGNER and have the same NATIONALITY with him, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.
I have all necessary information needed to back up this claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me on my private email address: merceltite@fastermail.com
I also demand your private Telephone and Fax numbers for confidential and faster communications.
Best regards.
Barrister Sador Burr.
