Subject: Attn : Ms Kohlmacher
Dear Ms Kohlmacher,
I am writting to show my appreciation on your reply to my mail. I will want you to understand the full details and proceedings regarding the pursuance and subsequent approval of this inheritance, I have been making fruitless searches to locate any relative of the late Engr. Allen Kohlmacher and I must confess to you that I have not been able to make any positive progress in my search to locate any family member to my late client until last week that I came to follow a link on the internet and it was there that i came across your name and address and to my greatest surprise you bears the same surname and equally from the same country and I decided to contact you so that we join hands together and execute this mutual project.
Before, writing to you, I not quite sure if you are related to Late Engr. Allen Kohlmacher or not, This is because from my ten years experience I had in dealing with my late client, we never made mention of any external relative, I must confess this to you. It is because I never intend to allow the Electric authority where my late client executed the contract to take advantage of the hard-earned money because of this death. The reason why i contacted you is to seek your total consent in standing as a family member to the deceased based on the fact that you bears the same surname and equally from the same country. I will be happy if you will be devoted to this matter so that we will join hands together and claim this funds which will not take us more than 10 official working days to conclude as regards the Ministry stipulated time frame to pay any of the family member to late Engr. Allen Kohlmacher of blessed memory.
Note that i have perfected all the necessary arrangement for a smooth and successful conclusion of this transaction and have taken time to study the blue print of this transaction before contacting you. I am a practicing lawyer here and by virtue of my position and connection, I will make sure that we follow all the legal procedures involve in this project and will secure all the related backup documents in your favour as the bonafide next beneficiary.
Instead of leaving the funds to be confiscated, I therefore devised a means on how to seek release of this fund to you legally as a family member to the deceased, Why I did this is because of the fact that there are legions of orphans, poor children around the globe whom a mere square meal a day look like paradise, who are dieing of hunger. I have even made up my mind that we shall donate the 20% of this funds to charitable organisations as our contributions towards the upliftment of mankind and also to churches for the propagation of word of God rather than leaving the funds to be confiscated. The remaining contract balance is the total sum of US$6.4M (Six Million Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars).
Moreover, according to the financial laws of this country, when one died intestate (Without Leaving a Will), the would be next of kin is only required by law to secure a letter of Administration (Oath Without Will) from the Probate Registry of the Ministry of Justice. This letter once obtained with your name and submitted to the Ministry of Power,the Ministry will released instruction on your favour to their correspondence payment bank to effect the final transfer of this fund to any of your nominated account. This is a very simple process, all I need is your co-operation and willingness. Whether you are a true relation does not even matter.
The needed information required for the grant of this letter of Administration in your favour includes thus :
1) Your Residential Address
2) Your Present Occupation
3) Age
4) Your Personal Telephone and Fax Numbers.
Upon the receipt of this required information, I will first file an official statement of claim to the headquaters of the Electric authority and will apply then for the grant of the letter of Administration in your favour to the justice department here in Abidjan Cote D' Ivoire so that there will be a statury provision from the probate that will confer you the legal right as the bonafide next beneficiary to the deceased, Note that upon the grant of this legal documents in your favour that the original copies of this legal documents will be submitted to the Ministry and the copies forwarded to you for your records.
We are going to share the remaining 80% on the equal basis. Let me know your mind on this sharing. I can be reached on this telephone; +22509062561. Please you can call me for verbal discussion and try to understand the need for us to be prompt on this issue as delay is not advisable. Endeavour to furnish me with the requested information to enable us proceed first thing monday morning.
I attached in the mail a scanned copy of the contract award certificate and contract completion certificate for your perusal, Note that immediate the final payment approval of this outstanding contract balance is released in your favour, all the documents related to this transaction will be send to you through courrier services delivery including these copies which i attached in this mail and please while replying to this mail endeavour to confirm the receipt of the two documents.
Waiting for your urgent reply.
