Dear Removed,
How are you today, I thank you for the mail. Please note that this mail is intended for your perusal.I want to let you know that I have concluded to work with you in this issue hoping that both of us will be able to work together in truth and in spirites, I will now give you more comprehensive details as regards to this issue but before I do that, I will tell you more about myself.
I am Barrister Usman Morgan, I live on no. 21 Ogui de caise off Fianyo Kossi Lome-Togo. I am married to a lovely wife and blessed with two children, one boy and a girl. My wife Mrs Carol Usman is a nurse and works with the general hospital here in Lome.
I have been the personal attorney to late Mr.Patterson B. Karakoz, for over eight years before he met his untimely death with all members of his family in the ghastly motor accident on Friday 21-04-2004.
Ever since then, I have done everything possible to trace his relatives without any luck. Most of his property were vandalized by hoodlums and some over grown by weeds as there is no one to look after them. It was until The Union Togolaise De Banque Lome-Togo office invited me to their office and mandated me as his attorney here in Togo to locate and present to them his next of kin so that they will release his outstanding fund with them, the total sum of Eight Million, five hundred thousand united States Dollars Only($US8.5M), that I decided to track his last name over the Internet in search of a trustworthy person who will assist me in putting claims to this fund so that the bank will release and transfer the fund to him hence I found you.
Of course I know you might not be related or even know Mr Patterson(Late) but understand that I really made a thorough enquiry and was convinced that he had no known living relatives as he came to Togo some time in 1965 as an orphan so please understand that there is no atom of risk involved in this transaction because it is I as the attorney that has been mandated to provide his next of kin so it is whosoever that I forward his name to the bank that will be approved as his legitimate next of kin.
My major concern is that you in return should not double-cross me at the conclusion of this transaction based on the fact that the bank will deal directly with you but I will always be there to give you instruction on what to do or say at any given time until the conclusion of this transaction. What I am asking you do is to stand as next of kin to my late client and put claims to the fund he left behind with the Union Togolaise De Banque Lome-Togo.instructing them to release and re-transfer the fund into your nominated account immediately.
It was not by mistake that I contacted you because I was left with no other option than this. Firstly, I would like to notify you that I'm soliciting for your total assistance and co-operation to enable the bank release the sum of US$8.5M (Eight million five hundred thousand united state dollars), balance of Late Mr.Patterson B. Karakoz, to your account.
I will advice that you read thoroughly and carefully, this transaction is highly confidential and 100% risk free. It should be strictly between you and me. Note clearly that this transaction has been well planned and masterminded by me I have followed all the required official payment procedures, and all documents to facilitate the smooth conclusion of this transaction are legitimate and officially in order.
I have receive ultimatum of only 21(twenty one) working days as the deceased attorney to present the deceased heir or have the account closed as unclaimed bill, You are to stand as the next of kin to the deceased since you are a foreigner and also share the same last name with My Late client, that's all I need because I have all the documents and information that may require to make this things happen,
Before further procedure let me give you guarantee that you will not face any queries or hindrance now or after the successful conclusion of this business deal, you can agree with me that I can not associate my self in any business / transaction that may bring curse or problems to my family as a married man and a father of 2 kids. Moreover am a legal practitioner and a court advocate, I can not just damage my hard earned reputation, my plan is to join politics and contest as a member of my country national assembly, so I have no reason to dent my political carriers because of this money.

JOY SEKOU ,You should carefully study it, type it in your letter headed paper or otherwise, sign and send it to the bank for approvals and subsequent transfer of the fund to you as you may wish.
