Subject: Attention
Duke Marshal,
Duke Marshal & Associates.
London-England.
Good day,
I am sorry for contacting you through this medium without a previous
notice,I had to use the E-mail because it is an easier and more
confidential way of
making contact with people around the world.My name is Mr Duke
Marshal,a Forty Five (45) year old Attorney in practice here in
London-England.I had a client by name Mr. Pitt a contractor based here
in London now deceased.My client lost his life alongside his wife and
only child on the 27th of January 2002 while on a visit to
Nigeria.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$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 which he submitted to the Federal Government when 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 bank here in U.K where the money is currently
deposited that I should provide and forward the particulars of
Mr.Pitt's 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.Pitt,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 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 US$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
Mr.Pitt,confirm your interest
by contacting me through my E-mail:duke_lawchambers@myway.com
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 Mr.Pitt's 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.
I wait to hear from you.
Duke Marshal Esq.
