Subject: AS A MATTER OF URGENCY
Dear Friend,
Good day, Firstly, I apologize for sending you this sensitive information
via e-mail instead of a Certified mail/Post-mail. This is due to the urgency
and importance of the information. Hence,
this letter to you. I humbly crave your indulgence to read this e-mail with
all seriousness of purpose devoid of any doubt in your mind because this
project is based on Trust, Confidentiality and Sincerity of purpose in order
to have an acceptable meeting of the minds. I am a fifty two(52)years old
established Lawyer. One of my clients was late Engr. Michael Keogh,(Now
deceased) hereinafter shall be referred to as "My Client".
Six years ago, My Client successfully executed a contract for the Federal
Government of Nigeria worth US$14.7 million dollars. A part payment of
USD7.million dollars was paid to my client,
while the balance of USD7.7 million Dollars was still unpaid before my
client died in a ghastly Car crash. However, all my efforts to locate the
possible next of kin proved abortive. Untill his sudden demise, He was not
married and was 44years old. NOW THE CRUX OF THIS E-LETTER is that the
Federal Government is fully paying all Contractors who have successfully
executed their ontracts. My client is mong those due to be paid in this
second quarter payment schedule. As his personal
attorney before his sudden death, I have been officially notified and
instructed to forward particulars of my client's next of kin so that he/she
can be paid the outstanding USD7.7 Million dollars.
I know he did not leave any valid WILL because He died inter-state. This
funds will therefore be paid to whosoever I present to the government or his
bank as the possible next of kin . In a nutshell, I intend to channel this
funds to the account of a clever but reliable person who upon
successful payment of the money, will earn 50% thereof, while 50% will be
for me. Your ationality does not matter as all modalities have been
perfected and put in place to pay whoever I present as the next of kin.
This transaction will take about 8 working days only to conclude as soon as
you indicate your interest. For prompt action, contact me urgently by email
through( adewilliams2@mail.md) I shall role out the modalities for the
actualisation of this project as soon as I receive your response. Please, do
accord this transaction the confidentiality it deserves. Best Regards,
Ade williams (Principal Partner)
NB You don't have to be a blood relative of my client to claim this
inheritance. Pls reply so that I can elucidate on how to proceed next.
