Dear Sir,
I am Barrister Jones D. Omore, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr.
Andrew, a national of your country, who used to work with Shell development
Company in Lome Togo. 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 their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any
of my clients extended relatives, but all was to no avail. After these
several unsuccessful attempts to locate his relative abroad, I decided to
track his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family
hence I contacted you. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
fund valued at US$10 million left behind by my client before it gets
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where
this huge amount were deposited.
The said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have his account confiscated within the next twenty-one official
working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2years
now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased
since you have the same last names, 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 and legal documents needed to back you up
for the claim, and I shall prepare the his WILL for the bank to agree to the
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 you from any breach of the law.
I hope you understand my points clearly
Best regards.
Barr. Jones D. Omore
