Dear Friend
As it may interest you to know, I got your contact through Togo Chamber of Commerce Mines and Agriculture.as i was seaching for a good relaible contact which i will entrust this business oppurtunity into its control, I was elated when i saw your address,and i picked a keen interest with confidence to solicit for your help in executing this oppurtunity.
However,i was moved to contact you base on the present situation of this oppurtunity which i may say that it is God given time offer, Their is a foreigner who lived here in Lome-Togo long ago called Mr Caldwell Samuel by name,and it happen that the man registered to me as his private/ personal attorney,unfortunately the man died with his wife and their two kids in fatal motor accident along Cotonou express way which happened on 23th December, 20001.
Owing to the death of this man called Mr Caldwell Samuel by name,his bank called on me for his balance with the bank as his attorney since January 2002,to invite his relatives to come and claim the money,i tried all i could to trace his family,but all my efforts proved arbortive,then from November last year 2003,till now,the bank has been presurising me to look for his family because they realise that a lot of swindlers have been forwarding application to claim the money as his next of kin,but it happen that after much verification,they will find out that those people were rogues,because they cannot provide a legal evidence to prove that they were his relative.
Moreover,i have decided to use you as his next of kin to claim the money for my own personal use as it happen that his relatives were not available up till now,and i have all his documents in my file which will back you up before the bank as his next of kin,i will still obtain a genuine legal evidence which i will do with your name to satisfy that you are the rightful next of kin to the deceased.
Furthermore,the amount involved is ($12.750,000.00)Twelve Million,Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand United State Dollars,therefore i will be happy if you can furnish me with your full name and address which i will use to secure the legal documents which will back you up as his heir next of kin.As soon as i receive your address,i will form an application which you will submitt to the concerned bank as his next of kin.Be rest assured that their is no risk involved as i have perfected and made the neccessary arrangements to back you up in claiming the
fund.
Finally,you have to maintain the high secrecy this business demands as the bank does not know that i am using you to claim the money on my own,besides,i will compensate you with 30% of the total money for your help and assistance and You can now forward the address and your full name as i demanded above for the transaction to commence in full.
Thanks as i await for your reply.
Best Regards,
Barr.Laurent Defoy. Esq.
