ATTENTION PLS
Dear M C Spike,
I am Barrister Edwin Roland (Esq), a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr.Craig A Spike,a nationality of your country, An oil consultant / contractor with the Togolaise Shell Petroleum Corporation. Here in after shall be referred to as my client .On the 25th JULY 2000, my client,his wife and their entire family unfortunately lost there lives in a concord plane crash IN PARIS FRANCE and since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my client extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.
For more prove you can have a look of the plane crash in this web site.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name to locate any of his relatives hence I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the fund valued at US$22.850m left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the management of the security company where this huge amount was deposited in two truck boxes under the coverage of family valuables,according to the laws of the Federal Republic of Togo Section 2 Sub-Section 5, paragraph IV states that at the expiration of good 7(SEVEN) years, any unclaimed fund shall be reverted into the escrow account of the Federal Government if nobody puts claims of ownership.
Since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for up to date, I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to my late client so that the boxes will be released and transferred to your home address as his next of kin .Therefore,on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfers as I have every necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.
All I required is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.You are also advised to observe utmost confidentiality and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable to both of us as I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.You can get in touch to me through my private email address edwin503rolandesq@yahoo.com .
Thanks
