Dear friend

I am ,16 years of age.I am contacting you after my long search on the internet.I lost my parents On the 27th of January 2002 in the Ikeja bomb blast here in my country
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2718295.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2698081.stm
but before the death of my parents,my father Late Williams Berger deposited the sum of $16.750 MILLION with a finance company.The finance company has refused to release the fund to me,with reason that until i am 19years and above.

I have no uncle or Aunty to claim this money for me.Only my fathers personal lawyer wants to claim this fund behind me but the finance company has refused and identified me as the next of kin and said they will only release the money to whoever i pick as the next of kin.I need someone who will be ready to claim this fund and also be responsible in taking me out of Nigeria to further my studies either in the Uk or America until i am old enough to manage myself.I have the certificate of deposit with the finance company and death certificate of my father to enable you claim this fund.

Upon your willingness to assist me,I will give you more information to reach the finance company.I await your urgent response.

please reply to this email address: ahamwilliams_1@yahoo.com

Thanks and God Bless you.

Aham Williams
