Dear Peter c,,
I hope all is well ? i am indeed very sorry for distracting your attention .
I am Barrister Steve Rodney a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr. Patrick van Gent , a national of your country, who used to work with Shell Development Company in Lome Togo.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2000, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries toyour 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 recovering the fund valued at US$48 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 the account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over 3 years 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. Please get in touch with me through these contacts ; steverodney@justice.com
If you will like to have an oral discussion regarding this issue please feel free to call me on my private line : 00 228 927 4008 .
hoping to hear from you urgently for more information and directives .
yours faithfully
Barrister Steve Rodney (SAT)
