Dear Madras House,
Top of the day and thank you very much for your response.Firstly, I wish to let you know that I'm a legal practitioner,a forthright and a God fearing man with lovely family,I contacted you in this transaction for our mutual benefit and for a lasting business relationship with you,having made unsuccessful attempts upon my several enquiries to locate any of my client's extended relatives.
Let it be mentioned for the sake of record that this our mutual benefit transaction is both 100% risk free and legal as all the necessary documents needed in a transaction of this nature will duly and legally be issued and obtained in your name and favour by me. Please understand that I am an adult with family only thinking of how to establish the legacy for my children and that is exactly why I am contacting you in this business.But please note the confidential nature of this business and keep it solely to yourself without involving a third party!.
Let me go straight to explain more on the event that led to this before I expatiate on the project proper.Engr Duckson Fritz was a big customer of a Bank here in Lome-Togo.West Africa. He operated a coded account with the Bank before he died in an accident along with his wife their only daughter.You must understand that in the Financial institution opportunities like this are common but not heard.People put their monies in Financial institutions and some of these accounts are either coded or confidentially operated, therefore, when such people die what do you think that happens to these monies when nobody comes for their claims? Well, this is one of the numerous avenues monies are made within and amongst the Financial institution management. In fact,the deceased was one of my best clients and I did not mastermind his death and I did not operate or manage his account.
I did all I could to locate his real relatives and was unsuccessful. . Normally, when something like this happens in Financial institution it is reported to the management. The Management can only wait for three,years for a next of kin to show up without publishing it or making it public because of false claimants must definitely show up. Therefore, it is not published and the respective Financial institution only informs the customers attorney as the case may be and then only waits for the real heir to show up as the availability of such funds are expected to be in the late "customer's will" which would be the only source of knowledge of it by anybody who is entitled to such estate.
So the Bank gives three years for this, and if no claimant comes forward then the Management sends the money to the Debt Re-conversion Department and the account is closed. Now the question is, who runs the Debt Re-conversion Department and who is the Management? The answer is simple. The Chairman, Managing Director and Board Members. These are individuals and these monies are shared by them and nobody asks questions, period. In fact, these issues are not even discussed outside board meetings. To
explain myself properly, I am not a board member and of course, I am not part of the Management and I do not work with the Bank. I am not rich, therefore,if I have this opportunity and throw it to the wolves,then I must be the "stupidest" the most "foolish-man"that has ever lived. I can only tell you that it is just destiny that brought us together.
I am quite sure of what I am doing that is why I am committing myself in this project because I know what the catch is and it's worth, and that is why my life and entire career is involved in this transaction in making it a success.The procedure of establishing the next of kin would be taken care of. I have all the secret information that are contained in the security file jacket with the Bank that will facilitate that.
It is therefore with absolute confidence that I wish to inform you more of the details of this transaction of great mutual benefit. For being involved in this transaction, I have therefore resolved to offer you 45% of the total sum as gratification in helping me champion this business. 45 % will be for myself while 10% will be used to take care of the settlement of any expense that might come up in the course of this transaction as soon as the fund is into your Bank account. Please, understand that I put so many things into consideration before offering you this 45% and I do hope that it will be appreciated.I will discuss future investment plans with you when i come over to you the U.S soonest.
Upon your response to this message,i am going to draft an application letter which you will fill where necessary and send to the concerned bank putting claim over Mr Fritz's balance with the Bank and wanting the funds be transferred directly into your account.My regards to you and your family while awaiting your very prompt response.God bless!!.
Regards,
Omar Koffi (ESQ)
