Dear Friend,

Before l proceed, l must make an apology for this unsolicited letter to you, l am conscious that this is certainly not a preferable way of approach to foster a relationship of trust but because of the circumstances and urgency surrounding this claim l decided to reach you via this media to help secure the funds (US$9.5M) left behind by one of our Late Client, A crude sales license owner, to avoid it being confiscated or declared into Ministry of Finance & Togo Government.

We are going to be guided by free information sharing and honesty of purpose. For us to make any meaningful progress we must develop sincere trust for one another which i do believe is on cause. Our application will be governed by Intestacy Rules since the deceased died without a written will. In such application, personal representatives are called EXECUTORS if appointed by will and ADMINISTRATORS if there is no will. Administrators are appointed by the probate division of the High Court as already informed.

Before personal representatives can deal with an estate they must obtain a grant of representation from the High Court authorizing them to act as such.

PROCEDURE:

1. An OATH AND STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES must be delivered to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The statement is a list of the assets and liabilities of the estate (i.e. property owned by and debts owed by the deceased when she/he died). The oath is a sworn statement confirming that the contents of the inventory are correct.

Other documents to support the application includes:
(a) a copy of the death certificate
(b) Title to immovable property( if any)
(c) certificates of valuation of the assets.
(d) a letter from a bank or share registry giving the value of the bank account or share at the date of death
(e) A Power of Attorney, where applicable
(f) Process fee

2. Once the Commissioner of Internal Revenue’s certificate has been obtained the application for letter of administration will be made to the High Court.

The following documents must be filed with the application:

(a) the Commissioner of Internal Revenue’s certificate;
(b) the death certificate;
(c) a list of the assets and liabilities as accepted by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue.
(d) the intended administrator’s oath. This is an affidavit (a sworn statement in writing) by the intended administrator containing information about the deceased and an undertaking to administer the estate properly.
(e) A Power of Attorney, where applicable.

3. Publication
Once a grant of Letters of Administration has been issued the personal representatives must:

(1) Collect in all the assets of the estate including money owed to the deceased and deposit made in Banks and stocks.

(2) Put at least 2 weekly notices in the Official Gazette and a newspaper calling on people owed money by the deceased to send in their claims within 3 months of the first notice.( If any)

The publication will be made in Lome- Togo where the deceased resided before his demise. The above details contains all you need to know, i am waiting for your final consent and suggestion on how we proceed with the project.

I need the below requirement to enable me prepare the affidavit of facts to be filled for inland revenue commissioners certificate.

1. Your comprehensive name as they appear in your international passport copy.
2. Comprehensive residential address.
3. Age/ Date of birth.
4. Occupation.
5. Scan copy of international passport copy.
6. Telephone Numbers.

You have my guarantee once more that what ever information you supplied are in safe hands and will never be exposed to any transaction that will be of detriment to your hard earned reputation / image. It is my Bond.

Yours Sincere
Barrister David Gundran
