Dear Partner

one of my client a national of your Country, who used to work as a contract
with Shell Petroleum Development Company in Togo, herein after shall be
referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife
and their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu express
road, all occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.Since
then I have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this was 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 money left behind by my client before they get confisicated
or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Now the Bank, where the deceased had an account valued at about US$35.5million
dollars has issued me a notice to Provide the Next of Kin or have the account
confisicated within the next 14 official working days. Since I have been
unsuccesfully in locating the relatives for Over 2 years now, I seek your
consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the deceased so that the proceeds
of this account valued at US$35.5million dollars can be paid to you and
then you and I can share the money 40% to you and 60% to me.
As legal practitioner, I can procure all necessary legal documents that
can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest
co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee you that this
will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both parties
from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me through my above E-mail address to enable us
discuss further, and also, you are advice to furnish me with your telephone
number including your fax number, your mobile phone as well including your
date of birth and place of birth and your proffession and your full contact
