LOME-TOGO. Dear friend,
I am Mr. Koffi Kadi, an Attorney at law, and the
Personal lawyer to Mr. A. Bower, a foreigner and a
successful diamond and oil merchant, Hereinafter shall
be referred to as my client. As it may interest you to
know, your contact was giving to me by divine
aspiration at the office of the Chamber of commerce
and Tourism in my country as I was going through some
directories.
I decided to contact you in order to champion such a
business magnitude without any problem. On the 27th of
August 2005, my client, his wife and their one son
were involved in a car accident along Kara-Sokode
expressway while arriving from a Holiday to Lome. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives. Since then, I have made several inquiries to
their embassy to locate any of their extended
relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.
I am contacting you to assist in repatriating the fund
valued at US$6M,(Six million United States
Dollars),left behind by my client before it gets
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security
Finance Firm where this huge amount were deposited.

notice to provide the next of kin or have his account
confiscated within the next twenty one official
working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek
your consent to present as the next of kin to the
deceased, so that the proceeds of this account can be
paid to you.
Therefore, I will not fail to inform you that this
transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion
of this transaction, you will be entitled to 35% of
the total sum as gratification, while 5% will be set
aside to take care of expenses that may arise during
the time of transfer and also telephone bills, while
60% will be for me. All I require from you is your
honest co-operation 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. Upon your acceptance to this
proposal, for the confidentiality of this transaction.
I expect your urgent response indicating your full
interest in this great business transaction to our
both mutual trust. Your telephone and fax number will
be need for our easy communication.
