Attention/ Friend,
I am Barrister Richard Ama Mbosa the Personal Attorney to Eng.P.Bullock ,national of your country,who used to work with shell development company Lome-Togo.On the 21stof October 2001,my Client,his wife and two children were involved in a car accident along the Hillakondji Express Road.All occupants of the Vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several efforts to locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has proved unsuccessful.After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to trace his relatives over the world,to locate any member of his family to assist in repatriating the consignment money and property left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security finance company,where this consignment was deposited.
Particularly,security finance company where the deceased had a deposit the consignment valued of $15 million dollars.The security finance company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the deposit confiscated within the next three official working months.Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 7 months now I seek your consent to present you as the next of Kin of my deceased client to enable us take over the proceeds of this deposit value at $15 million dollars be paid to you and then you and me will share the money.
I do not know if you are in anyway related to him as your names are similar to his,even if you are not in anyway related to him,I want to know you will be interested to do the business with me.If you are interested in this proposal,I will want us to have a meeting to enable us agree on the modalities to do the business and the sharing ratio and the method to carry out the operation.
Above all, the meeting will afford us the opportunity to know ourselves and to know the roles to be played by any of us.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 seeing this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
You have to assure me of your honesty and sincerity that you will not sit on the fund when it is finally claimed to enable us forge ahead immediately.Please call me immediately to enable us move ahead and also include your private telephone number where i can reach you for more informations.
