Dear Micheal Gallatin I am Mr.Patrice Koffi,a solicitor at law and a personal attorney to Late Mr.Ferdinand K.Gallatin ,here in after shall be referred to as my client.My client worked as an independent contractor to the Shell Development Company here in Lome Togo.
On the 21st of April 2000 my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road and all occupants of the
vehicle unfortunately lost there lives.Since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives this has also prove unsuccessfully.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating fund valued at Fourteen Million Five Hundred United States Dollars only($US14,500,000.00) left behind by my client
with the Banque Internationale Pour L'Afrique Au Togo Sa. Lome-Togo before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Firm where this amount were deposited.
The Director and Management of my late client bank has contacted me and asked that I as the attorney to their Late customer, should present either his cousins or his next of kin so that they will release and transfer the fund left in their custody to them.
Ever since then, I have made several attempts to locate any of his cousins or next of kin so that he/she will come forward to put in claims to the said fund. But unfortunately, I discovered that in all his files with my Chamber, he never mentioned having any relatives nor cousin's except his immediate family. After several attempts to trace any of his relative, I decided to track his last name in search of his cousins, hence I contacted you.
One fact remains clear, that anybody I present to the bank as his next of kin, shall inherit the fund. And it is base on this fact that I ask you to get back to me immediately so that we both will discuss on terms of partnership in this issue so that I will forward your name to the bank as his legitimate next of kin backed up with a sworn affidavit of oaths from the magistrate court of Togo.
Be advised that this transaction is 100% risk-free as this transaction will remain sealed for life at the conclusion which will not take more than 14 working days.
I await your immediate response so that I will give you more detail as regards to the smooth and effectiveness of this transaction.
With kindest regards,
Patrice Koffi
