Dear Lynch,
Re: Regarding Late Mr. Gene Bill Lynch
I am Barrister Johnson Kuku, a barrister & solicitor at law. I was the
Personal attorney to Mr. Gene Bill Lynch, a national of your country, who
used to own an oil servicing company in Lome Togo.
Herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the 31st of October,
2002,my client, his wife and their three Children were involved in a car
accident along Lome- Cotonou express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. I know that my client had no living kin but
I went ahead and made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.I only did so to
be double sure of this fact.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left
behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, particularly the National
Bank for Industries Lome Togo where the deceased had an account valued at
about $11.2 million dollars has issued me a notice that in the event that no
next of kin comes up for the claim, the account will be confiscated after
four years if not claimed.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over years now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so
that the proceeds of this account valued at 11.2million dollars can be paid
to you and then you and me can share the money.50% shall be for me and 40%
for you while 10% is ear marked for expenses that will be incurred during
the process of Transfer of the fund.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim
we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me by my e-mail to enable us discuss further.You
may also send your phone number so that I can call you.I look forward to
your urgent response.
Best regards,
Barrister Johnson Kuku.
