From: BARRISTER ANTHONY KUWANUKA <anthony_kuwanuka@yahoo.co.nz>

Subject: Waiting to hear from you
Dear Brother,
How are you today?
It was indeed a great pleasure to receive your mail regarding this transaction, but although you did not indicate your full interest that is why i decided that i should explain in details before we proceed further. I have concluded to work with you in this issue hoping that both of us will be able to work together in truth and in spirit. Having said this, I will now give you more comprehensive details as regards to this issue but before I do that, I will tell you more about myself.
I am Barrister Anthony Kuwanuka, I live on no. 148 rue du Costaine, Atakpame housing estate,Lome-Togo. I am married to a lovely wife and blessed with children, a boy and a girl. My wife Mrs. Jane Azuka Kuwanuka is a nurse and works with the general hospital here in Lome.
I have been the personal attorney to late client for over seven years before he met his untimely death with all members of his family in the ghastly motor accident on 7th of June 2004. Ever since then, I have done everything possible to trace his relatives without any luck. Most of his property were vandalised by hoodlums and some over grown by weeds as there is no one to look after them.
It was until the Zenith Finance & Security Bank Plc. invited me to their office and mandated me as his attorney here in Togo to locate and present to them his next of kin so that they will release his outstanding fund with them, the total sum of Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only($US10.5M), that I decided to search for a trustworthy person that answers the same surname with my late client who will assist me in putting claims to this fund so that the bank will release and transfer the fund to him hence I found you.
I am convinced that my client does not have any living relatives since I have investigated thoroughly,and their is no indication of any in all the files in my possession. Moreover,it is I as the attorney that has been mandated to provide his next of kin so it is whosoever that I forward his name to the bank that will be approved as his legitimate next of kin. Please understand that if we don't claim this fund, the officials of the bank will have no other option than to share the money among themselves as nobody will ever come forth for the fund as I am 100% convinced that late client had no relatives as such I know that you are not his relative but it is just a coincidence that you share the same surname.
My major concern is that you in return should not double-cross me at the conclusion of this transaction based on the fact that the bank will deal directly with you but I will always be there to give you instructions on what to do or say at any given time until the conclusion of this transaction.
What I am asking you to do is to stand as next of kin to my client (Late) and put claims to the fund he left behind with the Zenith Finance & Security Bank Plc. instructing them to release and re-transfer the funds into your nominated account immediately. On the receipt of your next mail indicating your sincere willingness to work with me, I will immediately forward your name to the bank as a cousin and next of kin to my late client with Letter Of Attestation from my chambers and a Sworn Affidavit Of Oath from the High Court of Togo to legally back it up. I once more re-assure you that you will never regret your sincere decision to work with me in this transaction as it is completely risk-free.
Be advised that as soon as this is done, I will send to you a specimen of the text of application letter which you will retype and send to the bank putting claims to the fund. The greatest advantage we have in this together is the fact that the both of you(you and my late client) bear the same surname and also that whosoever I present to the bank as his next of kin will certainly inherit the fund.
It is very important that you call me on my direct line +228 901 48 14 for further discussion if you need further clearification.
On the conclusion of this transaction, I suggest that we share proceeds on a 45%-45% sharing ratio while 10% will be for charity, I await to hear you own opinion as regards the sharing ratio. It is important that you keep this transaction strictly confidential as we cannot afford to make mistakes at any point during the course of this transaction. I await to hear from you today.
Best regards and God bless you in anticipation of your co-operation and understanding.
Barr. Anthony Kuwanuka
