Lome-Togo.
Dear Friend
As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through the
business directory at chamber of commerce and Industry here in Lome-Togo, where
I was searching for a good reliable 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 Arthur Billings by
name,and it happened that the man registered to me as his private personal
attorney,unfortunately the man died with his wife and their two kids in plain
crash which happened on 30th October, 2002. Owing to the death of this man
called Arthur Billings by name,his bank called on me for his balance with the
bank as his attorney since January 2004,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 october last year 2005,till now,the bank has been
pressurising 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 bonafide relatives. 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 documented memo 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 tocertify that
you are the rightful next of kin to the deceased.
Furthermore,the amount involved is ($20 000.,000.00) TWENTY MILLION United
State Dollars,therefore I will like you to furnish me with your full name and
address , which I will use to secure the legal documents,as soon as I receive
your address,I will form an application which you will submit 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 secret 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 I
will like to invest my own part of the money in your country base on your
advice.Therefore you can now forward the address and your full name,and I will
furnish you with the application as soon as you reply this mail.
Thanks as I await for your reply.
Best Regards,
BARR.SHEKINA GLORY ESQ.
