Subject: Good day
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 OKORO 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 with shell
petroleum company and other oil companies,based here
in NIGERIA now
deceased.
My client lost his life along side his wife and their
two children 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/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$4,500,000.00 Million and successfully executed the
contract, but the
balance of US$8,000.00 Million contract payment
was in the Process
of
being transferred into My Late Client's Account with
NED BANK SOUTH AFRICA
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 NED BANK SOUTH AFRICA 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 died
interstate,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
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.
