Hello/Goodday:,
I am indeed very sorry for distracting your attention.I am Barrister Bala
Koffi, a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Mr.
J.B.Higgenbottom, a national of your country, who used to work with Shell
Development Company in Lome Togo.
Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2001,
my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident
along sagbama express road. All occupants of the vehicle 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 recovering 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 AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin or have the account confisicated within the next twenty one official
working days. Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for
over 5 years 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. Feel free to call me on my
direct telephone line :00 228 936-05-21. Hoping to hear from you Urgently
for more information and directives.
Best Regards,
Barrister Bala Koffi Esq), B.L.
