Subject: Urgent letter
I am Edwin Nicolas (Esq.), a solicitor at law. Personal attorney to
late Mr. Robert , who was a contractor with American/European
Development company. Herein after shall be referred to my client
On the 11th of September 2012 my client was involved in fatal car
accident, unfortunately lost his live three month after the incident
due to injuries he sustained in the fatal car accident, since then I
have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any of my client
extended relatives but this has 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$9.5 million left behind
by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by
the SAVE-CON SECURITY COMPANY in Lome/Togo where this huge amount was
deposited in a trunk box under the coverage of family valuables
The said security company has issued me a notice to provide the next
of kin or have this box confiscated within the next twenty one
official working days as they don't know the content of the box
Since I have been unsuccessfully in locating the relatives for over 2
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to
the deceased, so that the proceedings of this box can be transfer to
you. 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 require from you is your honest cooperation 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
Please get in touch with me for more details.
Thanks and God bless
Edwin Nicolas(Esq)
