Subject: ATTENTION.. Janwillem Bech
Dear Janwillem Bech,
I Am Barrister JAMES KOFFI Esq., a solicitor at law.I am the personal
attorney to ENGR.J.B. Bech,a national of your country, who is a Contractor
and have spent most of his life in my country (Togo) Here in after shall be
referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2003, my client, his wife and
their only son were involved in a car accident along bagida express road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, 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 assets and Capital valued at
US$20.5million left behind by my client before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the BANK Lome-Togo West Africa where these huge
deposits were lodged. The said Bank, has issued me a notice to provide the
next of Kin or have the account confiscated within the next twenty Official
working days.
Since I have been unsuccessful 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 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 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 a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
