Dear Gibbons,
I know that this mail will come to you as surprise,please accept the content
in good faith, as I do not intend to cause any grief to you and your family.
I am writing this lettter to you following the impressive information about
your profile through the America Chamber of Commerce directory and your
capability and reliability to champion this opportunity as next of kin late
Engineer.Gibbons.
The reason for sending this mail is very fundamental to the doctrine of
human privileges and right to stand as next of kin to late Engr.Gibbons.
I am Barrister Fred A.Koffi, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to a
national of your country and a member of your family since he had the same
family name with you LATE ENGR.M.A.GIBBONS and Former Director SHELL OIL
COMPANY Lome Republic of Togo and here in after shall be referred to as my
late client.
Late Engr Gibbons with his wife and their only daughter were involved in
Tsunami Disaster that happened in Sumatra island, Indonesia on 26th December
2004 And Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to
locate any of my clients extended relatives,this has also proved
unsuccessful.
I have reasoned very professionally as a lawyer and I feel it will be
legally proper to present you as the next of kin of my deceased client, so
that you can be paid the funds left in his Finance Firm.
I therefore seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin to the
Deceased since you are at an advantage, bearing the same surname and equally
from the same country, that the proceeds of this Ecobank Togo valued at
$5.5Million US Dollars will be paid to you.
We shall both share the funds. 50% for you and 50% for my legal chambers,As
ECOBANK PLC TOGO has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have
his account confisicated by the of this year 2007.
I expect your urgent response indicating your full interest in this great
business to our both mutual trust. The bank will first transfer $2. Millions
dollars into your bank account before the rest $3.5 Million as my legal
chambers plans for the fund transfer into your bank account as next of kin
to late Engr.Gibbons.
Your telephone and fax number will be needed for our easy communication .
