Attn: Dear ,
I am Barrister Douglas Peters, a legal practitioner, I am the personal attorney
to Engr.Mark W. Capp , a national Of your country, who used to work with
Shell Development Company in Lome, Togo. He used to be my client .
On the 7th June, 2004, my client, his wife and their only daughter were
involved in a car accident along Nouvissi express Road. All occupants of
the vehicle unfortunately lost their 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$22
million left behind by my late client before it gets confisicated or declared
unserviceable by the firm where this huge amount were deposited.
The said Bank 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 3years
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 the 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.Privet Email Address: barrdouglaspeters@yahoo.fr
Best Regards,
Douglas Peters Esq.
