Dear M C Spike,
I know this Letter will come to you as as suprise,though I do not intend to embarras you. Let me start by Formally introducing Myself to you .I am Barrister Felix Abraham, a Legal Practitioner and Head of Chambers of an accredited Law Firm .
I am the Attorney representing Engr. Charles Spike,who lost his life in recent Tsunami disaster while on vacation with his family in Thailand at the famous tourist resort Island of Phuket.
My deceased client lived most of his life time in Togo and took here as a home. As a consultant to Cement Prospecting Companies in Togo he made fortune for him
self and I have been his personal Attorney Spanning for a period of five years.Now to the brass tack ,the deceased took life Insurance Policy which entitles any Surviving member of his family to a whooping sum of USD17,000,000.00 (Seventeen Million US Dollars) in the event of his death.
Unfortunately his wife and children who statutorily are his next of kin are no more and under the existing law here the Surviving relatives of my deceased client becomes the benefactors.
It is as a result of this development that compelled me to go into an extensive search in the internet for possible trace of his family Linage but to no avail.However, since coincidentally both of you bear the same Last name, I want to seek your consent to present you as a relative to My deceased client by virtue of family linage. As attorney to the decesaed the onus of proof to establish your relationship with my client,
rest on me and to achieve this objective,there are judicial process involved which I will brief you on subsequent correspondence if you indicate interest.
I am not puruing this cliam for the monetary gain,it is a duty I owe to my late client as I intend to use part of the fund to establish a Foundation in his name, not withstanding you will be adquately rewarded for your assistance in this endeavour,as you will receive 30% of the total amount involved.
PLEASE THIS TRANSACTION IS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
Expecting to hear from you as soon as possible.
