Dear Johnny Howard,
I have the pleasure in writing this letter to you in strict Confidence and I know that my letter will come to you as a great surprise, since we have never met before.
My name is Barr. Timothy Nmaju. I am a Lawyer, I reside and practice in the Republic of Lome-Togo. I am writing you this letter with good faith in respect of one late Mr.D.E.Howard, who was my client here in Togo, until his untimely death in the year 2004, in a ghastly motor accident, which claimed his life along with that of his wife and only Son, who were his co-occupants in the ill-fated automobile, with which he was traveling on that fateful day.In the light of the foregoing, I am now faced with a new challenge and moral question of whether to allow the financial institutions where my late client had his monies to appropriate it to themselves, because he seems to have had no survivor, next of kin, or who should demand for and collect these monies from the financial institution.
In my capacity as his attorney, a fact that is well known to the financial institution in question, I have been the closest person to him while he was alive, haven worked with him in all his business projects in my professional capacity.I am therefore contacting you to solicit for your co-operation because your having the same Last/Surname with the deceased will be of immense benefit/assistance to me in the pulling out this fund from the financial institution, for our mutual benefits, hence I traced his last name on the internet.
The combination of the facts that I was his Attorney and your having the same last name with him, will indeed enable us collect the sum of Thirteen Million Five Hundred & Eighty Thousand US Dollars (US$I3,58O,OOO,00) + interests accruing, which the deceased kept in a Savings and Loans Mortgage Institution here in my country.My idea here is that the two of us will share this amount with the accrued interests, in an agreed ratio, when it is paid to you as the supposed next-of-kin, because we need each other to make this happen.
I will have access to all the necessary legal documents that will be used to back up any claim we choose to make to the money and no questions, or suspicions will be raised anywhere, since I was his real Attorney, until his death. I have earlier put this Mortgage institution where this money is, [which is located and situated here in Lome Republic of Togo], on notice, that soon I will be assisting my client's next-of-kin in claiming and withdrawing the money. In response, the mortgage institution agreed, but asked me to do so very quickly, or seriously risk having the account frozen and the fund forfeited.
Therefore, I earnestly solicit your honest/very sincere co-operation, in this matter. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement, that will not involve any breach of the law. Accordingly, I guarantee that you will not be at any danger/risk of any breach of international/local law and will therefore not have any problem now, or in the future as a result of this transaction.
My proposal is that you allow to be presented for this role so that documentation can be processed and payment made in your favor. This is a project which will see us partner to realize. I would be willing for us to discuss terms of participation in order to protect our various interests.
If you concur with this proposal, kindly get back to me with your full names, your physical address, your direct telephone and fax numbers so that we can discuss proper regarding this transaction.
I want to assure you right away that I have positioned this deal to not last for more that two weeks. I look forward to receiving your urgent reply to this offer, via e-mail/telephone number below.
