ATTN; DEAR,
I AM BARRISTER KENNETH UBAH, THE PERSONAL ATTORNEY TO
MR. ALI EL ASHGAR, A
NATIONAL OF A COUNTRY SAUDI, WHO USES TO WORK WITH
SHELL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LOME-TOGO. ON THE 21ST OF
OCTOBER 2001, MY CLIENT, HIS WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN
WERE INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ALONG THE
HILLAKONDJI EXPRESS ROAD IN TOGO. 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
INTERNET, TO LOCATE ANY MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY TO
ASSIST IN REPATRIATING THE MONEY AND OTHER
PROPERTIES LEFT BEHIND BY MY CLIENT BEFORE THEY GET
CONFISCATED OR DECLARED UNSERVICEABLE BY THE
SECURITY COMPANY, WHERE THIS HUGE DEPOSITS WERE
LODGED.
PARTICULARLY, SECURITY COMPANY WHERE THE DECEASED
HAD A DEPOSIT VALUE OF US$15.000.000.00 (FIFTEEN
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) CASH. THE COMPANY HAS
ISSUED ME A NOTICE TO PROVIDE THE NEXT OF KIN OR
HAVE THE DEPOSIT CONFISCATED WITHIN THE NEXT THREE
MONTHS. SINCE I HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING
THE RELATIVES FOR ABOUT TWO (2) 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 OF US$15,000,000. 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, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT, I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU WILL
BE INTERESTED TO DO THIS 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 ALSO
THE METHODS 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.
BEST REGARDS
BARRISTER KENNETH UBAH.
