Subject: Dear Nimitz.
From : The Principal Attorney
BenRichardson & Co (Legal Chambers)
#11 Ecowas Rd Lome Togo
Phone: 00 228 9919 805
Attn: Dear Nimitz.
I know that this mail will come to you as a surprise,but please accept the content in good faith,as I do not intend to cause any grief to you .
I am Barrister Ben Richardson,a solicitor in law,personal attorney to Late ENGINEER.S.A NIMITZ,an American,who before his death was the Director Exxon Mobil OIL COMPANY Lome Togo ;who died with his wife and their only daughter in the Tsunami Disaster that happened in Koh Phi Phi Island, Thailand on 26th December 2004 and unfortunately lost his live with his wife their and their only daughter.
Please go through these web site below:
www.metacafe.com/watch/465403/tsunami_thailand_koh_phi_phi_island/
Since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.
However,i contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at €5.5 million Euros left behind by my late client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the BIA BANK TOGO where this huge amount were deposited.
BIABANK LOME TOGO has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days and what i want you to do is to provide a Local Bank Account in your country or an International Bank account outside your country for these transfer deposit.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in locating the relatives for over a year now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased, so that the proceeds of this account will be paid to you as HIS NEXT OF KIN. Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.
If my legal chambers fails to transfer this money out from the bank now,few board of directors of the bank and the Government of Togo will confiscate this account and thereby declear the fund a lost money without claim by the middle of this year,citing the non operational of the dormant account since the death of late Engineer Nimitz.
Biabank will first deposit into your account will €2.5 Miliion Euros and upon a suscessful transfer of the first fund without any disapportment from your side,we will hornestly proceed with rest €3 Million Euros as we have planed the transfer to be with you.
All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this transaction through and I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
I am waiting for your immediate response with your private phone and fax numbers for us to communicate well on this deal.
Best Regards.
Hon Ben Richardson
