Dear sir/ma pls help.
I hope this e-mail wouldn't come to you as a surprise. Having gone through
your profile, I am convinced and pleased to solicit your sincere and urgent
assistance over this matter.
I am Barrister Williams White, an Attorney to one late Mr. Peter J, a local
contractor with the Lagos State Government of Nigeria. My Plant Late was
awarded a contract worth of Twenty-Five Million United States Dollars (25,000,000:00USD)
by the Lagos state Government of Nigeria for the maintenance and construction
of roads in the states in 1999 and the contract was fully executed by my
late client. My client has been paid Fifteen Million United States Dollars
from the contract and he was to receive the balance payment of the contract,
but unfortunately my client was involved in a fatal auto accident with his
entire family on Sagamu Express Road where he eventually lost his life and
his two kids and wife. This was in 25th of December of 2000.
Sequel to the death of late client, there is every need to present a next
of kin to Lagos State Government so that they can release the balance of
his contract money. Already the CONTRACT PAYMENT OFFICE under the Lagos
State Government has contacted me that the balance payment for the executed
contract, which has been approved for payment, is ready for collection.
I am therefore asked to present the beneficiary/next of kin for the claim
of the money (draft) from their office.
At this juncture, I have decided to divert this Ten Million United States
Dollars to a foreigner who will be presented to LSG, by soliciting the assistance
of a reliable individual (A Foreigner) that will be presented as the beneficiary/next
of kin of the fund. I will prepare all legal documents in your name as the
successor /next of kin from our Federal High Court to back up the claim
on your behalf which will enable Lagos State Government to release the money
to me on your behalf as the known next of kin to my late client.
As soon as I hear your positive response; action will commence. Please
bear in mind that there is no risk involved in this transaction, but it
requires absolute sincerity and confidentiality due to the nature of the
transaction.
I am willing to give you 40% of the fund as a reward for your assistance
in this transaction and I have set aside 5% of the money to take care of
any expenses that will be involved locally or internationally during the
process of executing the business. I will want you to respond to my email
via below email address if you find it difficult geting this one, with your
private phone numbers, fax number, cell phone #, your home/Company's Address
as I will be coming over to your end for the sharing and for quick communication.
I look forward to your swift response.
Regards,
Barrister Williams White.
williams_white2005@yahoo.co.uk,
Note: Having or bearing the same name with my client will make this claim
very easy as I am going to present and submit your name as the next of kin
and with me the Attorney to the late man you have nothing to fear as I will
be contacted by the Contract Payment Committee for confirmation which I
will confirm you as the next of kin and the money will be paid to you.
