Dear Keizer Henk,
I am Barrister Kelvin Koffi,solicitor at law, personal attorney to
Mr.B.J.Henk,a national Of your country,who used to work with Shell
Development Company in Lome Togo,as a registered contractor. Here in after
shall be referred to as my client. and it happen that the man registered to
me as his personal attorney.
Unfortunately the man died in a motor accident which happened on 31st
October, 2002. All occupants of the motor unfortunately lost there lives.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any
of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.After
these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track his last name over
the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence i contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$10.5
million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the Security Finance Firm where this huge amount were
deposited.
The Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official
working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for
over 2years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the
deceased since you have the same last names, so that the proceeds of this
account can be paid to you. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response,
we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have
all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for
claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in
touch with me through this email for more details.
