Dear Friend.

I am Barrister Philip Fadaya, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Engr.John.A Edwin,a national Of your country, who is the director of Panini Development Company in Republic of Togo. Here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 21st of April 2002, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in auto crash along ecowas express road. All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost there lives. Since then I have made several enquiries to his embassy here to locate any of my clients extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts,I decided to track you over the Internet, to locate any member of his family hence I contacted you.I have contacted you to assist in repartrating the fund valued at US$14.5million left behind by my client before it gets confisicated or declared unserviceable by the International Commercail Bank where this huge amount was deposited.
The said Bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have his account confisicated within the next twenty one official working days.
Since I have been unsuccesfull in
locating the relatives for over 2years now, I seek the consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since you can assiste me, so that the proceeds of this account can be paid to you.
Therefore, on receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer.I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim. All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me through this email for more details.You can call me on my private line:00228-9367153

Best regards.

good one.
 
String him along until he's convinced you are falling for it, then tell him he needs to send you $100 in US cash to cover the transaction fee to wire the cash to his account.
 
Also tell him that there must be another person from a different company trying to work on this case that is from Nigeria.

Tell, him that you just don't much trust Nigerians, and that if he will work the case for you, he can have 20% of the inheritance.

Then once again ask him if he needs all of your personal information and financial numbers (credit card and so on.)
