Dear Lies Huisman
I am Barrister Jean Ubowuala, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to
Mr.A.C.Huisman, a national Of your country, who used to be a contractor with
TOGO RAIL S.A, Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.On
the 21st of April 2004, my client, his wife and their only daughter were
involved in a caraccident along Nouvissi express Road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy here 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 repartrating the fund valued at US$17.5 million left behind by
my client before it gets confisicated 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 confisicatedwithin the next twenty one official working
days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 2years
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.
Best regards.
Barr. Jean Ubowuala.
