Subject: GREATING TO YOU MY DEAR...... Julie Kossatz
NELMAN& ASSOCIATES.
16 RUE DE FRANCE, QUARTIER 21
DOULASSANE, P.B 1130, LOM・ TOGO.
Dear Julie Kossatz,
I apologize in advance for offending with this message as I ought to have sought your consent and approval before e-mailing the proposal to you. In any case, please endeavour to reply either negetively or positively to enable me decide on what next to do because of the time frame attached to
the request by the Bank concerned.
I'm am Barrister Tony William, Personal lawyer to late Mr. Wilson Kossatz, a national of your country who used to work with Shell Development Company in Togo. He is a contract Staff who was also instrumental to the construction of the International Cement Company LomeTogo hereinafter shall be
referred to as my client for over ten years. On December 2003, he died with his entire family in an Air-Crash on board From Cotonou (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm).
As his lawyer, I was contacted and all necessary burial arrangements were made so the remains of the family were buried in the public cemetery here in Togo. Since then, I have made several enquiries to locate any of my client's either blood families or the extended relations. My concerted search
proved abortive. After these several unsuccessful attempts and as the last result, I decided to contact you since your last name coincided with the deceased.
Perhaps, you may not be biologically related to him but it behooves us to use this opportunity to claim his savings with a Bank here since I could not locate any of his relation either dead or alive. As a matter of fact, I have in my record the documents where he left behind a fixed deposit valued
at Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$ 10,500, 000.00) with a Bank here in Togo. Consequently, the Bank has issued a notice to me to provide the next of kin to the deceased as his personal attorney or have his account confiscated which is in accordance to the Bank's
provision to all dormant account over six years. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of the deceased the relative all these years, I hereby seek your consent to present you to the Bank as the next of kin to the deceased to avoid the confiscation of the fund since both of you have the
same surnames names.
Therefore, should this proposal appeal to you and I get your consent to be presented to the Bank as the next of kin to my deceased client, we shall discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer. You can request my phone number for further discussion on this or get in touch with me
through my alternative private E-mail tony_william2004@yahoo.com
Thanks and have my best regards.
Mr.Tony William.
