Subject: ATTN: VLIET
K.F.CHAMBERS(LOME-TOGO)
1809 RUE.AVE.HARRY KOKETI,
B-P LOME-TOGO
FROM SENIOR BARRISTER KEN FOFO.
Dear Vliet
Please, do not be offended if this message comes to you as I ought to have
sought your consent and approval before e-mailing this proposal I acted as I
did due to the importance and urgency of this business. Which ever way you
may look at it, let it please you to respond quickly either negatively or
positively.
I am Barrister Ken Fofo, personal attorney to a national of supposedly your
country who used to work with Shell Development Company in Lome Togo a
contract Staff and who was also instrumental to the construction of the
International Cement Company, Lome. Hereinafter shall be referred to as my
client for over ten years. On the 21st of October, 1997, my client, his wife
and their only daughter, were involved in a car accident along Ilakonji
express Road on holidays to Karra while driving their personal car.
Unfortunately, all occupants of the vehicle lost their lives. As his lawyer,
I was contacted and all necessary burial arrangements were made and the
remains of the family buried in the public cemetery. Since then I have made
several enquiries to the your embassy here and others to locate any of my
clients either blood families or the extended relations.
My concerted search proved abortive. After these several unsuccessful
attempts and as the last resort, I decided to track his last name over the
Internet, to see if I will be lucky to locate any member of his family,
hence I contacted you. Perhaps, you may not be related to him but it
behooves on us to seize this golden opportunity to salvage his savings since
I could not locate any relation of his either dead or alive. I have in my
records his documents where he left behind the sum of Ten million United
States of American dollars (US$10 million) in a Security Company. I have
contacted you to assist me in repatriating this fund left behind by my
client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Company
where this huge amount was deposited.
The Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his
Consignment confiscated within the next twenty one official working days as
the policy of the Company is to overrun over Seven years of unserviceable
.They have a veritable excuse as they knew that my client was dead. Since I
have been unsuccessful in locating the relations all this while.
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since
you have the same last (Names) names. This is to enable us salvage the
proceeds of his account and get it paid to you instead.
I have this obsessions that if the directors of the Company confiscated the
money and enrich their pockets, it might not be put into proper and useful
ventures to benefit the poor masses of this world. I wish to use part of my
share to donate to charitable organizations and churches.
Therefore, should this proposal appeal to you and 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 the claim. All I needed is a willing foreigner who will be
honest,trustworthy and transparent both in business and spirit with his or
her unalloyed co-operation to enable us see this transaction through. I
guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangements that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by e- mail.
You can request my phone number for further discussion on this.
Thanks and have my best regards.
BARRISTER KEN FOFO
