Dear Buck,
Re: Regarding Late Mr. Gene Bill Buck

I am Barrister Johnson Kuku, a barrister & solicitor at law. I was the
Personal attorney to Mr. Gene Bill Buck, a national of your country,
who
used to own an oil servicing company in Lome Togo.

Herein after shall be referred to as my client. On the 31st of October,
2005,my client, his wife and their three Children were involved in a
car
accident along Lome- Cotonou express road. All occupants of the vehicle
unfortunately lost their lives. I know that my client had no living kin
but
I went ahead and made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any
of my
clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful.I only did
so to
be double sure of this fact.

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
National
Bank for Industries Lome Togo where the deceased had an account valued
at
about $11.2 million dollars has issued me a notice that in the event
that no
next of kin comes up for the claim, the account will be confiscated
after
four years if not claimed.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over years
now
I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased
so
that the proceeds of this account valued at 11.2million dollars can be
paid
to you and then you and me can share the money.50% shall be for me and
40%
for you while 10% is ear marked for expenses that will be incurred
during
the process of Transfer of the fund.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any
claim
we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation 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 e-mail to enable us discuss further.I
look
forward to your urgent response.

Best regards,
Barrister Johnson Kuku.

Answer 1

THAT'S AN OLD NIGERIAN SCAM. IT HAS BEEN UPDATED BUT NON THE LESS IT'S THE SAME IN FORMAT. THEY WILL ASK FOR YOU BANK ACCOUNT NO. TO TRANSFER ALL THE MONEY IN THEN THEY WILL WIPE YOU OUT.

Answer 2

it's not extortion
your are of course foolish should you even reply back and try to claim the money ( which of course does not exist ), it's a nigerian scam ( don't ask me why only the nigerians run it as you figure other groups would be doing it, but it's only the Nigerians who run this scam ),

it's only a scam, not extorsion, no one ( except your greed ) is forcing anything on you, they simply play in on everyone's greed

Answer 3
