Many thanks for your prompt reply,
My Dear, I know a letter of this magnitude will make anyone worried, but
believe me sincerely, contacting you on this issue wasn't by mistake; this
is real and never a child play.

Firstly, I am assuring you that this transaction is 100% legal and risk
free both now and after the claim. I am here as the personal lawyer of the
deceased to ensure that we have a successfully claim. Remember that I am
part of the proceed and for your information ,I have every documentations
and information relating to this deposit as entrusted on me by my late
client before his death as his personal Attorney on financial matters and
that is why I will stake all within my powers to ensure that we have a
hitch free transaction. So my dear do not be afraid about this relationship.

In a nut shell I will like to briefly summarize what I was saying in my
first proposal to you; my deceased Client, He was a big customer of UNION
TOGOLAISE DE BANQUE. He operated a coded account and died on a Car
Accident. He was a Civil Engineer and Contractor who had handled so many
projects here in West Africa. He had a wife and a daughter of course all of
them were on the same Vehicle as they were going on vacation. He has a
registered company here in Lome-Togo but folded up after his demise.

You actually may or may not be closely related to my Late Client, but
Specifically, I got your information during my search for a trust worthy
partner who shares same surname with my late client as demanded by the Bank
and it was only your name that I found during my search that convinced me
that he is your relative. I want you to stand as the next of kin to my late
client before the Bank so that this fund shall be released and transferred
to you.

Over the years now I have been searching for his close relative and have
made contacts to your embassy but my attempts proved futile. While hasting
to meet the Bank's stipulated deadline to make this provision which will
lead to confiscation upon my failure to comply in relevant to law provision
for such unclaimed fund exceeding the ten years stipulation by Law after
the demise of my late client until I find your Contact details since you
bear same surname with him . It was not by mistake because I did my
thorough research before I contacted you. I will like to speak with you
over the telephone so as to hear directly from you to increasing my
confidence in you in an assurance for mutual trust, promising not to deny
me of my own share soonest this fund is transferred to your custody.

I will like us to discuss this over the telephone for oral clarification. I
therefore request that you call me on my telephone number +22898673657

My Late Client, has no will but the next of kin was his only daughter who
died alongside with him and that is why I am mandated by law as his
personal lawyer to provide the nearest relation/next of kin which the Bank
Board of Directors demands that I provide a foreign next of kin to my late
client who must share same surname with my late client as enshrined to his
deposit agreement.

The law of inheritance in my country does not make provision for estate
management/agreement rather the right is given to the approved
heir/beneficiary. And this is why I contacted you to stand as the next of
kin to my deceased client so that you will be approved the heir/beneficiary
in accordance with the law. Bear in mind that you are going to go through
normal and legal inheritance claim procedure so that the claim will be
fully legalized and/or notarized. This is why I have to guide you
appropriately till we finally have the fund wired into any account of your
choice for our sharing.

I will have to let you know that we need to confidentially and maturely
handle this project because of the amount involved. The amount can easily
elicit eyebrow from anybody and that is why it must be handled between us
and keep it confidential.

The funds will then be transferred to you as the beneficiary and be shared
according to a proposed sharing ratio of 50:50, i.e. 50% for me and 50% for
you. I will provide all the necessary legally procured documents to back up
any claim we make regarding this process, and will just require your
understanding and cooperation as well as maintaining a very high sense of
confidentiality until we confirm our fund transfer into your nominated Bank
account to enable us achieve success within a legitimate arrangement,
eliminating any liability resulting from any breach of the prevalent laws.

As soon as I have your sincere assurance to keep my share on trust without
denying me of my share as soon as this fund is transferred to you, My dear
, With your provided data’s , I shall complete and submit a text of
application of intent in your Name to the Bank , putting claims for the
release and transfer of the said fund to you thereafter I shall avail to
meet you in your country for my share and my investment over there in some
profitable business your shall recommend to me and you should have it in
mind that you will come down here in Lome-Togo west Africa for I and you to
sign off the final document for the release of the fund.

I also request that you provide me with this information below for it to
enable me submit an application letter to the paying bank here on your
behalf for the transfer of the fund and also to increase my confidence on
you.

Your full name.......................... ...................
Your Age.........................................................
Your marital status........................ ......
Your occupation.......................................
Your residence address....................... .......
Your direct telephone number with your country international dialing
code..........................

I will appreciate your swift response or call so that we can commence this
project officially and you have to keep this transaction very confidential,
just hold it within you to avoid eyebrows, you can see that the fund ($9.5
million) we are talking about is not a small amount of money.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
With Kind Regards.
