Hello Dear,

A brief introduction of myself: I am Barrister Asher Koku , I
was born 24 oct 1958, married to a lovely wife and blessed with two
children, a boy and a girl:boy is koffi(Jr) is 21 while my daughter
Juliet is 19yrs old. We live at No. 48 yo-yo road here in the city of
Togo. My wife, Elaine Koku,is a midwife and works with the
university teaching hospital here. I plan to give a better life to my
family and secure a future for my kids. God has provided the
opportunity for me and you I plan to make the best of it. I would love
to hear more about your good self in your next mail.

WHAT THE TRANSACTION IS ALL ABOUT :-

First, I must thank and commend you for your time and response to my
proposition as the need requires.

Really, I am contacting you seek your cooperation in reclaiming the
fund deposited by my late client to his bank here in Togo republic of
west Africa and also the part which he deposited in security finance
firms in Europe. This is because all frantic efforts to locate his own
real family relations proved abortive and again because of the
notification which his bank issued to me requesting that I should
inform his family or next of kin to come for the reclaim of the
deposit with them hence they will confiscate it because its been
un-serviceable for several years now and which is why I contacted you
so that we both can reclaim the fund instead of leaving it to the bank
which of course as a lawyer, I know too well that they will share
thefund amongst their board of directors in the name of confiscation
and so my contacting you is to seek your consent to present you as
late (Mr J.b. ) next of kin and which is why I need to
clarify you on everything that you needed to know and I guarantee that
this will be executed under legitimate arrangement. I will be
interested we discuss this impending issue further on phone but before
then, I believe it will be nice to first clarify you on what you
should know concerning my proposition to you. In appreciation to your
email and anticipation of a better relationship in future I wish to
give you step by step procedure for this claim / transaction. My late
client was a big customer of that finance firm (bank) and He operated
a coded account with the firm before his death.

For your information, late (Mr J.b. ) being a very
secretive person never likes discussing his lineage, immediate or
extended family but during one of the series of discussion I had with
him during a law seminar in Gambia in 2003, he told me that his late
father had migrated from germany after the end of the second world war to the United States in early 1945. It was in the US that my late
client (Mr J.b. ) was born. He also had his education and
first carrier in business administration in the US before relocating
to Libya, South Africa and finally Togo where I came in contact with him.

I am a national of Republic of Togo and no questions shall be asked
you based on the deceased. Therefore, any document or information the
holding bank may request from you to approve the inheritance fund will
have to be provided by me as i am aware you do not possess any of
these items. It is wishful to understand that banks here does not rely
on the conduction of a DNA or blood test to determine next of kinship,
hence you are legally qualified to receive the funds as long as you
are willing to follow my directives.

My said client, died on the 15th of April 2011 without living a WILL
pronouncing who should inherit his estate, as a result of this vacuum,
your good -self will come in between as the next of kin to receive the
said fund. Despite the fact that you do not know this person or might
not be related to him, but the family name remains
the same and this will give us a good advantage. In all standard, it
is not a thing of immorality or illegal for you to stand in as the
bona-fide next of kin because we shall remain within the ambit of law
to accomplish this goal.

Your role will be simple. You will be required to stand as the
claimant or next of kin to this fund while I will be furnishing you
with all particulars, information and documents which the bank might
request so that the funds will be approved into your names. Note that
most of your communication with the holding bank will be via email.
You shall also provide an existing account offshore where this fund if
approved by the bank, will be transferred into. In this case, you will
be required to open a new bank account or use your existing bank
account to receive this fund. Note that our inheritance laws does not
discredit one's nationality as long as the claimant has all the
relevant information relating to the deceased, which i shall aid
you with.

I understand we are living in a very wicked world where there are a
lot of faceless and masked people out to ruin people but i pray that
God opens your mind’s eyes to see the legality and genuinely nature of
this matter. Before we commence this transaction, I will appreciate
you assure me the followings:

1. That this funds will be safe in your hands until I come over for
sharing or/that you will reimburse my share of the fund accordingly,
knowing quite well that I am not qualified to be presented to this
claim, hence the custody/possession of the fund immediately after the
release and transfer process changes to your rights of bona fide beneficiary.

2. That you will not cheat/betray me at the very end of it, since my
entire hope depends on you and as it took me time to begin this
consultation with you based on this transaction and as such will not
want anything to jeopardize the success of this project.

3. That you will treat this transaction with utmost maturity and
confidentiality without any involvement of any third party considering
the nature of the project and the amount involved. This will guarantee
us total safety during and after the transaction. This will also
guarantee my safety here in this country as my name is referred as a
social activist and would not openly show myself in this project but
will be ever available and ready to advice and guide you so that we do
not make mistakes.

4. That you will participate in this transaction without bias, with
respect and compliance to the bank’s constituted internal regulations
in line with conditions of beneficiary/next of kin fund transfer,
which will guarantee the transfer of this fund to your designated bank
account.

Thanking you for your understanding as i wait to hear from you soon.

Note that I have an agreement which we shall study and sign to be
binding on both parties throughout the duration of this
transaction.This agreement will protect each party's interest
throughout this transaction and I will forward it to you upon your
request. Upon hearing from you,I shall send you more details of this
transaction for your perusal before we move on.

Best Regards and God bless.

Asher Koku (Esq).

Dear

I contacted you with a desire to locate a sincere and trustworthy
individual who can guarantee the confidence needed in this
transaction. I herewith in receipt of your response and as you rightly
know I contacted you in this matter base on the fact that you bear the
same surname with my late client who died in an accident with
his wife and only child here in Lome Togo. I had sought for the
relatives without success and instead of the sum of he deposited with
a bank here get confiscated by the Finance Firm or claimed by some
unscrupulous persons within the bank, i decided to contact you so that
i can present you to the bank as his next of kin.

I have done everything possible to trace the relatives of my late
client without any luck. It was until the finance firm with the said
deposit invited me to their office and mandated me as his attorney
here in Togo to locate and present to them his next of kin for the
release of his outstanding fund with them. It's upon this that I
decided to contact you as bearing the same surname in order to assist
me in putting claims to this fund for the release and transfer. Of
course, I know that you might not be related or even know my late
client ,but as I really made a thorough inquiry and was convinced that
he had non known living relative as I understood that he came to Togo
sometime in 1965.

As a matter of fact, you should note that all the original documents
that will be needed in a transaction of this nature ascertaining you
as the bonafide beneficiary and next of kin to my late client will
duly and legally be obtained and issued in your names and favor. I do
not know you but I feel you will be human enough to be honest to me at
least for bringing you into a deal capable of fetching something
tangible.Note that the next of kinship as stated by the inheritance
law, is not limited to relations of the deceased nor is it confided to
the circuit of parental relationship, rather it is by choice of the
benefactor as regards to whom he wish to will it to (beneficiary)
either formally by write up, or informally by secret information
disclosure to beneficiary, be him/ her business partner, relation,
kinsmen, friends or well wisher, therefore by virtue of the above
stated, I seek consent to present you as the next of kin to my late
client since the supposed next of kin also died along with him.

Therefore, in a situation of this kind, it's not published and the
respective financial institution only informs the customer's attorney
as the case may be and then only waits for the real heir to show up as
the availability of such funds are expected to be in he late
"customer's will " which would be the only source of knowledge of it
by anybody who is entitled to such estate but the real heir was also
involved in the accident.

If this fund is not claimed,it will be re-deposited into the treasury
of the finance firm as unclaimed bill which will be shared among the
board of directors due to high level of corruption here and that will
become history. There is nothing to worry about as everything is legal
with documentations,it is my duty to provide the next of kin and
whosoever I approve as the next of kin will become the beneficiary and
receive the fund.

You are entitled to 50% of the total inheritance funds when it gets
into your account and my own share of 50% will be in your safe keep
until I come over to your country after the transfer is made to you. I
am aware of inheritance tax laws in your country. We will share the
funds after deduction of your countries inheritance tax.

International inheritance funds transfer is different from the daily
business or income money transfer as it is always presumed to be huge
since the funds is acquired over a long period of time and possibly a
life time savings .So the inflow of such huge funds or capital
investments in this case is logically reasonable and morally
unquestionable.

Nevertheless,it is the duty of the inheritance paying bank to issue
all documented proofs of the source of the funds to your bank prior to
the transfer of the funds and will take the best possible procedures
to make the inherited amount reach you without any breach of both the
international and national banking laws and policies ,after your claim

has been approved.I will guide you all through for us to achieve this
successfully.

The most important issue to be considered now is trust and confidence
in this matter hence I plead this should be our watch word through out
this transaction and I can fully assure you on my own part that as
much as I work this with you, I will always remain the same.

You have to furnish me with your full information such as:

1) Full names:

2) Private phone number:

3) Current residential address:

4) Occupation:

5) Age and Sex:

6) First and second page of your international passport copy or

Driver's license.

You have my guarantee once more that whatever information you
supplied are in safe hands and will never be exposed to any
transaction that will be of detriment to your hard earned reputation /
image. It is my Bond.

This will enable me go to the concerned Authority to legally and
officially present you as the sole next of kin to my deceased client
in order to expedite the necessities for the immediate release of the
deposit.

I would advise that you email me immediately upon receiving this mail.

Your urgent response and co-operation will be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding as I wait to hear from you soon.

Best Regards and God bless
