Dear Jacek Kluza
I am Barrister John kudonu , a solicitor at law, and personal attorney to
Mr.G.C.Kluza, a national of your country, who used to be a contractor and
importer here in Lome Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2001, my client, his wife and their only daughter were
involved in a ghastly motor accident 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 family relatives, but all efforts proved abortive.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
over the business directory in our chamber of commerce, trade and tourism,
to locate any member of his family hence my contacting you. I contact you to
assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$4.5 million left behind by my
client before it gets confiscated or declared unclaimed by the Finance Firm
where this huge amount was deposited.
The said Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide his next of kin
as his attorney and Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
for over two years , I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased deposited sum in the finance company 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 the transfer. I have all necessary
information and legal documents needed to back you up for the claim. All I
require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through.
I guarantee that this attract no risk at all for it will be executed under
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
On the receipt of your response via the above email address ,I will furnish
you with a detailed clarification .
Sincerely,
John Kudonu Esq
