Dear Roel Van Winsen
I am contacting you over the claim of your late uncle's fund which was deposited with the Union Togolaise De Banque, (UTB) . I must solicit your confidence in this claim, by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential and top Secret.
Though I know that contact of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well since I know everything about your late uncle's fund with the bank. I have decided to contact you due to the urgency of this matter. Let me start by introducing myself properly to you.
I am Barrister Bode Bello. the legal adviser to your late uncle, Engr P. A. Van. (Snr.) an oil Merchant with the Federal Government of Togo Republic, until his sudden death few years ago in an Kenya Air Bus (A310-300) Flight KQ430, until his death he Banked with Union Togolaise De Banque, Lome -Togo and had a closing balance as at the end of September, 2001 worth US$28,500,000.00 (Twenty Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
The bank now expects the Next of Kin to come forward as the new Beneficiary in view of his death. Efforts has been made by the Bank, to get in touch with any of the Deceased family relatives, but they have met with little or no success at all. And the deceased being a foreigner, that is why I have decided to contact you so that you can put up claim over his outstanding balance with the bank valued at US$28.5M only.
Now that the management under the influence of the bank Governor and Members of the Board of directors, reaching me that an arrangement has been made for the fund to be declared as unclaimed and in order to avert this negative development, it is my duty to contact you since your name was listed as the next of kin to his properties.
All documents and prove to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out by me for this claim. I have secured from the probate an order of Mandamus to locate any of the deceased beneficiaries, and more so I am assuring you that this claim is 100% risk free.
Now it is left for you decide on what you will give to me, as my percentage for assisting you in this claim. I hope to hear from you soon
Yours Sincerely,
Barrister Bode Bello Esq.
