Good day.
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a Previous
notice,I had to use E-mail because it is an easier and more confidential way
of making contact with people around the world.My name is Mr Adamu Usman,a
sixty two (62) years old Attorney in practice here in NIGERIA.I had a client
by name Mr.JOHN SMITH who is a national of your country and contractor based
here in NIGERIA now deceased.
My client lost his life alongside his wife and only child on the 27th of
January 2002 while he was travelling Details of this incidence can be
checked on the following
website; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2718295.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2698081.stm
Prior to the Death of my Late Client,He secured a contract of $12,500,000.00
million from the Federal Government of Nigeria,following which he received a
30% mobilization fee of
US$3,750,000.00 Million and successfully executed the contract, but the
balance of US$8,750,000.00 Million contract payment was in the Process of
being transferred into My Late Client's Account with UNION BANK OF NIGERIA
PLC.which he submitted to the Federal Government OF Nigeria before he lost
his life in the incidence.
Three Months after his sudden Death,The Federal Government of Nigeria
effected the transfer of the balance of his Contract Funds into the Account
that My Late Client has on his file with the Government.As his personal
Attorney before his death,I have been officially notified and instructed by
the UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC where the money is currently deposited that I
should provide and forward the particulars of Mr.JOHNS next of kin so that
the Funds in his Account can be remitted into his Next of Kin's Account in
accordance with British Laws.
However, as the personal attorney and close confidant of late Mr.JOHN,I want
you to know that My late Client diedinterstate,i.e,He died without leaving a
Will.Hence,all my efforts to locate any of his relative whom I can present
to the Bank as his next of kin has proved abortive.
Therefore I am seeking for your consent to present you as the deceased
relative/next of kin and subsequently the beneficiary of the fund so that
the proceed of this account valued at $8,750,000.00 Million can be paid to
you for subsequent disbursement between you and I. If you can cooperate with
me and receive this funds as next of kin to late Mr.JOHN,confirm your
interest by contacting me through my confidential email above.
I can assure you that the deal is 100% risk free because i am in possesion
of the deceased personal file which contains all information which I shall
use to prove your relationship with the deceased therefore the money will be
paid into the account of whomever I present as LATE Mr.JOHN Next of kin with
proofs that I will present to the bank when needed.
When I receive a positive response and after proper discussion with you,I
will furnish you all relevant information that will facilitate the release
of the Funds to you An Application will have to be filed to the Bank for
processing of the release of the Funds into your nominated Bank account any
where in the world.

make sure you reply me through my private email address :adamu776@myway.com
