I Mr. Kenneth Amaco.advocate in a court of law, personal attorney to Mr.P.B , a citizen of your country who used to work with Shell Development Company in Lome Togo. Here, following should be transferred to as my client. From 21 April 2004, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Nouvissi high-speed roads.
All passengers of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful. After several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contact any one that is interested to do this buisness with me hence I contacted you.

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating fund in the amount of 8.5 million dollars left behind by my client before it gets confiscated or declared unfit for Security Finance Company where this huge amount were deposited.

He said Security Finance Company has issued me a notice to give to relatives or his account confiscated over the next twenty one official working days. Since I was successful to find relatives for 4 years now I seek the consent to present you as next of kin to the deceased since you have the same names, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you. Consequently, upon receipt of your positive response, we will then discuss the exchange rate and terms for the transfer.

I have all the necessary information and legal documents necessary for you to back the claim. All I require from you your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be done within a legal mechanism that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Please reply me with this e-mail address ([email protected])

Funny how these "lawyer" or "legal" types call themselve barrister... A barristr has no direct client/attorney connection, they are mostly hired by solicitors. Won`t they ever learn anything??
