Subject: very important please
I hope this message will reach you in good time, however I duly
apologize for infringing on your privacy.
I am BARRISTER PAUL GAITIE a solicitor at law. I am the personal
attorney to a national of your country, who used to work with
Shell – development company in TOGO. Here in after shall be referred
to as my client.
On the 21st of April 2015, my client, his wife and their three
children were involved in a car accident along cinkasse highway. All
occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then I
have made several enquiries to your embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last
name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I
contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property
left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared
unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about (US$3.7 Million Dollars) has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin or have the 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 you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of
this account valued at( US$3.7 Million Dollars ) can be paid to you
and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you I
have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim we may make. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable
us see this deal through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch
with me by my email and send to me your telephone and fax numbers to
enable us discuss further about this transaction.
