*Barr. Wilson George Esq.
Lamine, Robert& masala
Solicitors & Advocates of
The Supreme Court Of Togo.
No 16 Boulevard du la Kara
Lome Togo.*
*Dear Friend.*
*I AM Barrister Wilson George, a solicitor at law and a personal attorney to
Late Mr. Ferdinand K. here in after shall be referred to as my client.
My client worked as an independent contractor to the Shell Development
Company
here in Lome Togo. On the 21st of April 2000 my client, his wife and their
only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road
and all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of my clients
extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful have contacted you to
assist in repatriating fund valued at Twenty Five Million United States
Dollars only ($US25, 000, 000.00) left behind by my client with the
EcoFinance and Security Trust Bank Lome Togo before it gets confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Finance Firm where this amount were deposited.
*
*The Director of the Eco Finance and Security Trust Bank contacted me
on Friday 15-08-2003 and asked that I as the attorney to Mr. Ferdinand
(Late) should present either his cousins or his next of kin so that they
will release and transfer the fund left in their custody to them. Ever since
then,
I have made several attempts to locate any of his cousins or next of
kin so that they will come forward to put in claims to the said fund but
unfortunately, I discovered that in all his files with my chambers, he never
motioned having any relatives nor cousin's. After several unsuccesful
attempts to trace any of his relative, I decided to track his last name over
the Internet in search of his cousins hence I contacted you. One fact
remains clear, that
anybody I present to the bank as his next of kin, shall inherit the fund and
it is based on this fact that I ask you to get back to me immediately so
that we both will discuss on terms of partnership in this issue so that I
will forward your name to the bank as his legitimate next of kin.
Be advised that this transaction is 100% risk-free, as this
transaction will
remain sealed for life at the conclusion, which will not take more than
Three weeks.*
*I await your immediate response so that I will give you a more
comprehensive
detail as regards to this transaction.Pls,this is highly confidential*
*Barrister Wilson George.*
*Principal Attorney,*
*Lome Togo.
