Subject: From Barrister Paschal Okaa..........Frens Mazenier
Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Paschal Okaa , a solicitor at law, personal attorney to
Engineer P.B.Mazenier,a national Of your country,who used to work with Shell
Development Company in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my
client. On the 31st of October 2004, my client,his wife and their only
daughter were involved in a car accident.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I
have made several enquirers to to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts to locate his real relatives,I
decided to contact you since you have the same last name with my late
client. I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at
US$11.5 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 unsuccessfully in
locating the relatives for over 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 legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from Any breach of the law.
Awaiting to hear from you.
Best regards,
Barrister Paschal Okaa
