Dear Mr.Micheal Gallatin,
I am Barr.Bernard Kpoti SOSSOU, a solicitor at law and a personal attorney to Late Engr. 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 2004 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.
Please 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 Bank before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Firm where this amount were deposited.
The Management and Directors of my late client's Bank have contacted me and asked that I as the attorney to Engr.Ferdinand(Late)refer as your late relation, should present either his cousin(s) or his next of kin so that they will release and transfer the fund left in their custody to the family.
Ever since then, I have made several attempts to locate any of his cousin(s) or next of kin so that they will come forward to put in claim to the said fund but unfortunately, I discovered that in all his files with my chambers, he never mentioned having any relatives nor cousin's except their only Daughter who also died in the accident on that very day.
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. Since you have the same last name, you will be related to him in one way or the other.
One fact remains clear, that anybody I present to the bank as his next of kin, shall inherit the fund and it is based 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.
This transaction will remain sealed for life at the conclusion which will not take more than 14 working days of applying for claim.
I await your immediate response so that I will give you a comprehensive detail as regards to this transaction.
Best Regards,
Bernard Kpoti SOSSOU
