Email #1, from Barrister Bogoma Afu:

Greetings of the day!

I am <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>, I'm contacting you in regards to the claim of my late client's funds who happens to share the same last name as yours, he was an Engineer. But it was unfortunate that he died of Covid with his entire family in 2020, after his death his bank issued a letter authorizing me to produce deceased beneficiary for the claim of his deposited fund the sum of $7,500 000 00, as enshrined in his deposit agreement.

I know you may be visualizing how possible could the claim be made viable in your name but i don't think you should be having such thought most especially as you are dealing directly with me the personal attorney to the deceased, of-course hence all the empirical documentations proofs related to his deposited funds are in my possession to back you up in every aspect you have nothing to be afraid or doubt about, deceased documents in my possession remains the incontrovertible evidence which proves you are rightful beneficiary liable to the claim of his funds.

My Late Client, has no will, he died intestate and that is why I am mandated by law as his personal lawyer to provide the nearest relation/next of kin, which was exactly what the Bank Board of Directors has demanded that I should provide a foreign next of kin to my late client who must share the same surname with my late client as enshrined to his deposit agreement.


Anyway, reach me via my private email for better explanation and understanding (<PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_EMAIL_ADDRESS>) or send me your WhatsApp number for easy communication.

Email #2, from Cameron McCaffrey (me):

Dear Barrister <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,

Warm greetings, and I hope this message finds you in the best of health and spirits amid these trying times. Firstly, allow me to express my deepest condolences for the loss of your esteemed client and his family. Such tragic events serve as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.

Upon receiving your email, I must admit that I was initially taken aback by the fortuitous appearance of this matter. It is not every day that one is presented with such a unique and, if I may say, serendipitous opportunity. My last name is indeed not common, hence your contact has certainly piqued my curiosity.

While I am aware of the unfortunate prevalence of deceit in today’s digital age, your communication carries an air of legitimacy and professionalism that compels me to heed its content. It is imperative, of course, to proceed with caution and due diligence in such affairs, and I trust that you, as a barrister with a presumably impeccable reputation, would appreciate the careful approach from a potential claimant.

Without further ado, I have decided to engage in this process and explore the veracity of your claims with an open yet cautious mind. The sum mentioned is nothing short of life-changing, and such an entrusted responsibility is not lost on me. I am ready to adhere to the necessary legal protocols, under your expert guidance, to establish my position as the rightful beneficiary, should all the particulars indeed align.

For a more private and secure line of communication, I am willing to converse via WhatsApp. Alternatively, you can reach me at this email address for any preliminary guidance or information you deem pertinent to share before we initiate our dialogue on WhatsApp.

Thank you for reaching out, Barrister. I am looking forward to a mutually beneficial and transparent exchange. Do let me know the protocols to set things in motion, and rest assured, I am ready to comply with the necessary documentation and legal issues that this matter may require.

Kind regards,

Email #3, from Barrister Bogoma Afu:

 Dear Cameron McCaffrey,

Thanks for your prompt response and grasping.

First and foremost I would like to start by reintroducing myself to you for proper apprehension. I'm Barrister Bogoma Afu, the personal attorney to the deceased in question.  Who shares the same last name as yours, i have contacted you for the claim of his funds deposited with the bank here in Togo before his sudden death with his entire family, as a matter of fact authorization letter has been issued to me from the Court with much pressure imposed on me by his bank UTB bank to produce deceased next of kin without delay.

My Late Client, has no will, he died intestate and that is why I am mandated by law as his personal lawyer to produce the deceased next of kin,  as UTB Bank Board of Directors has demanded that I should provide a foreign next of kin to my late client who shares the same surname with the deceased client as enshrined in his deposit agreement.

 Your profound comprehension will be well appreciated in this matter, owning to the fact the deceased died intestate, being their family attorney i could not and would not be alive to give credence on his funds to be declared unknown when all vital documents related to his funds deposit are all in my possession, which will be required by the concerned authorities if claim are made to his funds. Therefore, all i need from you is your participation to stand for me before the bank and the Court which will enable his funds to be claimed and secure in your name as you both shares the same last name and again coupled that the bank has issued a letter of authorization to me, demanding that i should produce deceased legatee to come forward for the claim of deceased funds left in their bank and that i deemed perfected by his bank.

I would like you to know little about me, i'm 67 years of age and this is my 33 years in Law-firm, in which i was the former secretary to Lome region Bar association,  of course you know, no lawyer at my category will ever peril to get himself convoluted into an illicit transactions, consequently if i doesn't have the permissible documents in my possession that can back you up perfectly in the Court to claim this funds without difficulties,  i couldn't have endeavoured to contact you over this claim, because i have a high level of reputation to maintain, as a public recognized person, indisputably you know, no person at my category will ever involve in any transaction that is not 100% legit, as to eschew the peril of disbarment according the law in my Country and as it stands i can never erroneously involve into illegal transactions on the account of my previous and present position, which must be maintained.

  Therefore, I have contacted you for the claim of my late client's funds, the total sum of $7,500 000 00, Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand USD. Also I know you might be visualizing in your mind the possibility on how such colossal amount of funds could be made viable in your name as the rightful beneficiary, the momentous aspect of every claim lies on the empirical documentations proofs, which is in my possession, the documents proofs of the claim remains the incontrovertible evidence that will be demanded by his bank and the law Court before approval of the claim can be made, whereby all these documents are in my possession. That means we are 100% good to go for this claim. .

  However, to enable us commence further, you will be required to send the following details of yours, so that I can open a file in your name in my chambers as the next of kin to my late client before a letter of claim will be presented to the bank in your name that will persuade the bank to commence the process of the claim

Here are your information required
Full name
Occupation and position
Residential address
A scanned copy of your passport or ID Card
Telephone number
Private email address

The above stated information will be used to prepare a file in your name and also be used in filling the application form that will be presented to the bank in your behalf for the claim, as the beneficiary liable for the claim,  therefore, upon your response with the above requested information, I shall then proceed properly on your behalf but please, your duty at this time is to get me your information as i have stated above, so that i can be able to perform my duty properly.

Your response is needed without lapses
