*Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Joe Beck (Esq), a solicitor at law, personal attorney to
Mr.Gillivray .A. Hinkle, a nationality of your country, An oil consultant /
contractor with the Togolaise Shell Petroleum Corporation. Here in after
shall be referred to as my client .and his wife and their two children were
involved in a car accident along Dapaong highway while arriving from a
Holiday to Lome.All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their
lives.and since then I have made several enquiries to your embassy here to
locate any of my client extended relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
to locate any of his relatives hence I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating the fund valued at US$18,200,000.00 left behind by my client
before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the security company
where this huge amount was deposited in two truck boxes under the coverage
of family valuables,according to the laws of the Federal Republic of Togo
Section 2 Sub-Section 5, paragraph IV states that at the expiration of 5
(FIVE) years, any unclaimed fund shall be reverted into the escrow account
of the Federal Government if nobody puts claims of ownership.
Since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for almost three
years now, I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to
my late client so that the boxes will be released and transferred to your
home address as his next of kin .Therefore,on receipt of your positive
response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for
transfers as I have every necessary information and legal documents needed
to back you up for claim.
All I required is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction
through.You are also advised to observe utmost confidentiality and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable to both of us as I
guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me

*Thanks*
